LAMBORGHINIAutomobili Lamborghini S.p.A., or simply Lamborghini,

designs, engineers, manufactures and distributes Italian luxury sports cars. Lamborghini's production facility and

headquarters are located in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy. In 2011, Lamborghini's 831 employees produced 1,711 vehicles.

Manufacturing magnate Ferrucccio Lamborgini founded Automobili Ferruccio Lamborghini S.p.A. in 1963 with the

objective of producing a refined grand touring car to compete with offerings from established marques such as Ferrari. The company's first models were released in the mid-1960s and

were noted for their refinement, power and comfort. Lamborghini gained wide acclaim in 1966 for

the Miura sports coupé, which established rear mid-engine, rear wheel drive as the standard layout for high-performance

cars of the era.Lamborghini grew rapidly during its first decade, but hard

times befell the company when sales plunged in the wake of the 1973 worldwide financial downturn and the 1973 oil crisis.

The firm's ownership changed three times after 1973, including a bankruptcy in 1978, before Chrysler

Coperationtook control in 1987. Unable to operate Lamborghini profitably, Chrysler sold Lamborghini to

Malaysian investment group Mycom Setdco and Indonesian group V'Power Corporation in 1994. Lack of success continued

through the 1990s, until Mycom Setdco and V'Power sold Lamborghini to the AUDI AG  subsidiary of Volkswagen Group on July 27, 1998. Audi's ownership marked the

beginning of a period of stability and increased productivity for Lamborghini. Sales increased nearly tenfold over

the course of the 2000s, peaking with record sales in 2007 and 2008. The world financial crisis in the late 2000s

negatively affected all luxury car makers worldwide, and caused Lamborghini's sales to drop nearly 50 percent.Lamborghini's Sant'Agata Bolognese production facility

produces V12 engines and finished automobiles. Lamborghini's current production vehicles are the V10-

powered Gallardo and the V12-powered Aventador . Both production models are available in a variety of regular and

limited-edition specifications.
