__ Introduction  __ Do you wish you had a fast car? I know I do! If you’re thinking what I’m thinking, Lamborghini is a great car for you. Lamborghinis are fast cars and have lots of style. I would love to have a Lamborghini. Once I saw a Lamborghini on the road, and I wanted one. Come along and learn about the company Lamborghini.

__ Chapter 1: History  __ If you met Ferruccio (For-ee-chio) Lamborghini, the founder of Lamborghini, you would probably want to hear about his history. Lamborghini was started by a man named Ferruccio Lamborghini who was born on a farm in 1916, in Italy. Ferruccio Lamborghini 1916 was a long time ago. I think I’m going to Italy this summer. On the Lamborghini  // emblem //  there’s a golden bull to represent Lamborghini’s birth sign. ** Lamborghini caption  ** That was a good idea to put the bull on the car. When I saw the Lamborghini I knew it was one because it had the emblem on the car. Ferruccio was a big fan of cars, so his mom and dad sent him to school to learn about cars. I’m a big fan of cars too. Once Ferruccio made a machine, but the machine got crazy and the house almost burned down! If that happened to me I’d be scared! Would you be scared? Ferruccio joined the Italian Air Force and worked all through World War 2. The Italian Air Force is the people who flew airplanes for Italy in war. Are most of your questions answered? If you have more questions, there still more to come. In // World  // // War 2 // , Ferruccio was sent to jail in Rhodes, an island in Greece, because he was in the  // Italian Air Force  //. Ferruccio’s parents needed a tractor, but after World War 2 there were not a lot of tractor companies, so Ferruccio made a tractor. That’s so cool! That’s not the only fact on tractors. After Ferruccio made the tractor a lot of people wanted one, that’s how Ferruccio started the tractor business. Lamborghini’s Tractor After Ferruccio made the tractors he was very wealthy. He was very wealthy and he would still get wealthier with his other jobs. Ferruccio went on a business trip to America and he decided to make heating equipment. Ferruccio collected cars such as Porsches and Ferraris. I would like to collect cars when I am an adult too! Ferruccio talked to Enzo Ferrari about one of the Ferraris he collected because it was having problems. // Enzo Ferrari //  said it was Ferruccio’s fault. So Ferruccio said he could fix the brakes, and Enzo Ferrari started to laugh. That’s how Lamborghini started to make cars. Enzo Ferrari The Lamborghini car company started in 1963. That’s when my mom was born. When Ferruccio retired in 1973, Lamborghini was owned by many people. The people included Henri (Enri) Rosseti, the Italian Government, the German Government, Chrysler, Mega Tech, and even Volkswagen. ** Volkswagen Emblem  ** Will the future be any different? Now that I taught you about Ferruccio, the company, and the owners, you’re going to learn about the different models Lamborghini made.

 ** __Chapter 2:Types of Models __ ** Imagine you are at the auto shop. While you are walking around you spot an unusual it is a Lamborghini. In this chapter you will learn about seven major models of Lamborghini cars. Lamborghini’s first car was the** // 350GT. // ** The company named it this because the engine was 350 cubic centimeters. Lamborghini 350 GT      Before you hear this fact Ferruccio Lamborghini loves bulls and bull breeders. The ** // Miura // ** took over the 350 GT and the Miura was the first car Lamborghini made that was inspired by bullfighting. Hey fast fact coming up. Did you know that the Miura was named after a famous breeder of bulls Antonio Miura? Did you that the Miura’s roof opens like a clamshell? What a fact! Since designers didn’t have to make space for an engine the Miura’s roof was cut flat. Enough facts about the Miura! Here comes the ** // Countach. // **    ** //   Lamborghini Countach   // ** The Countach was the first model Lamborghini made with a wedge shape. The Countach was also made for speed. The wedge shape makes the Countach go faster because of aerodynamics. Now you’ve learned all of those cool facts about the Countach do you want to know designed it. Well the designer was Marcello Gandini. Did you know the Lamborghini company changed their Countach design because the engine over heated? What a fact! Ok we’re moving on to the ** // Diablo // **! Before we start you need to know what the word Diablo means. Actually in Spanish the word Diablo means devil. The Diablo is also made for speed. Lamborghini Diablo In 1994 the Lamborghini Company celebrated the 30th anniversary of Lamborghini first model the 350GT. The ** // Miurcelago // ** on the other hand is a top handling sport car that means it can go very fast. In 2003 the company produced a Gallardo with a hard roof that retracted into the trunk. Three years later they made a Gallardo with a soft roof. The Reventon shares the same engine as the Miura but more resembles a fighter jet. Now that you know the types of Lamborghini cars it’s now time to tell you about how the company makes them! Lamborghini Miurcelago __Chapter 3: How Ferruccio Lamborghini Made His Cars __ In this chapter you will learn everything you need to know about how Ferruccio Lamborghini made his cars that people still drive to this very day. Lamborghini got off to a head start when he first started designing cars. Most of his design crew was from other car companies such as Porsche, Ferrari, and Alfa Romeo. All Lamborghinis have special features that set it apart. Did you know all Lamborghinis have four wheel drives? The new technology at Lamborghini will have an option for all wheel drive or for ** // zoo plus mph car. // **     This is great about Lamborghinis I think. Lamborghinis react more quickly when stopping or turning then other cars because of their brakes and their better controls. Also Lamborghinis have specials racing tires and brakes. In Ferruccio Lamborghini’s whole history he only made three versions without a ** // V12 engine // **. One of them is the Islero. Lamborghini Islero Did you know that the Miura design has a 700 horse power engine? Cool fact, the Miurcelago LP640 has a glass engine cover to show off its engine. Here’s a fast fact, literally, the Gallardo can spring from 0 to 62 mph in just 4.2 seconds. Now that you know how fast a Gallardo is do you want to know what the fastest Lamborghini speed is? The fastest Lamborghini is the Reventon that can go as fast as 221 mph. The Miurcelago roadster is twice as tall as it is wide. Did you know that a Gallardo spider has a folded roof that is kept behind the engine? In 2006 Cermac brakes were added to the V12 Miurcelago engine. __ Chapter 4: Lamborghini Uses  __ Lamborghini has created many things such as cars, tractors, and heating equipment. They’ve made more that you’ll learn in this chapter “Lamborghini Uses.” Lamborghini tractors do many different jobs like work on farms and clean beaches. They still do jobs like that too. In 2007, the Lamborghini Reventon car raced against a // Tornado jet  //// plane  // //. //  In Brescia, Italy the Reventon almost beat the plane, but just lost. Would you want to drive a fast car like a Lamborghini? Lamborghinis are so fast they can bring organs to hospitals. If you had an organ transplant you would be happy because it would be so fast. Later in his life Ferruccio began to like off-road cars and decided to build the Lamborghini LM002. That was his first off-road car. Lamborghini LM002 In 1989, Lamborghini became an engine supplier for a boat that won 13 popular races. After Ferruccio retired, the company got involved in the race car series // Formula  // // 1 //. Lamborghini was an engine supplier from 1990-1995 for Lola, Lotus, Ligier (Lij-ee-a), and Modena. 1990 Lola Lamborghini F1 race car They were going to be an engine supplier for the McLaren F1 Team, but team Principal // Ron  //   // Dennis  //  said no. Ron Dennis Lamborghinis are so fast that they draw a lot of attention, just like if you saw a diamond on the beach. People that see a Lamborghini probably say it is a cool car. I said that when I saw a Lamborghini for the first time when it went by me. Later in his life, Lamborghini made wine from vineyards. That sure was different from anything else he made. Unfortunately, on February 20, 1993 Ferruccio died from heart attack. Lamborghini sure made many supplies; they made working on a farm and cleaning beaches easier. Now that you have almost finished our book, you one step closer to getting a Lamborghini. OK, so maybe you won’t be getting a Lamborghini any time soon but you learned something new about this extreme sport car. If you liked this book drive on over to a new Lamborghini book so you can get even closer to your goal!
