History of Lamborghini and Innovation

Ferruccio Lamborghini started by building tractors and ultimately became world famous outside of Italy with his sports cars. Legend has it that after a disagreement with his friend Enzo Ferrari he vowed to show him how to build a sports car.

But Lamborghini tractors is a history to two great innovators. Francesco Cassani built the prototype of the world's first diesel tractor in 1924 and won great acclaim.

Then Cassani started mass production of the first agricultural tractor to be fitted with a "full" diesel engine.

The first fully diesel four-wheel driver tractor goes into production.
Lamborghini 1954 1954
Lamborghini launches its first crawler tractors.

Lamborghini commences mass-production of four-wheel drive tractors.
Lamborghini 1966 1966
Lamborghini became the first italian tractor manufacturer to fit synchronised gearboxes as standard in a mass produced tractor. The compact and efficient design of today's Lamborghini gearboxes is a testament to that long heritage.

Electronic engine control is introduced providing superior engine performance and driver control in the field. A bold innovation for the 1980's that in many ways still leads the world today.

The group obtains a major share holding in the German Deutz engine manufacturer as the Deutz engines start to feature more widely in the high horsepower range of Lamborghini tractors.
