History / ideology behind Lamborghini:
Ferrucio , a wealthy man , fascinated by cars travelled to Maranello to buy a Ferrari 250GT
and bought two more cars. He thought that the cars can be much better and he was
dissatisfied with Ferrari. He took his observations to Enzio Ferrari but he was insulted and
chased out which influenced him to make his own car Lamborghini 350GTV which had full
alloy V12 Engine ,2 coupe , 600HP and a top speed of 250kmph which gave him a great
success. In 1963, he created his own Automobile manufacturing unit called Automobili
Lamborghini in Italy.

Opportunities:

experience
2. Increase the global reach as currently it is present in very few regions

that when they launched their models in India the demand far exceeded the supply thus
they lost the customer to the competitors

make a car to exact taste of the buyer
