TIL Ferruccio Lamborghini was drafted into the Italian Royal Air Force in WWII. By 1948, he went on to building affordable tractors. A feud was sparked between Ferrari and Lamborghini which motivated Ferruccio to build his own line of sports cars we know today as Lamborghinis.

>Lamborghini’s first tractor was built in 1948 and named the Carioca. He decided to build tractors cheap and sell them cheap, and while his tractors were small, they were powerful and well-built. He was able to offer his tractors at a reasonable price point because the mechanical parts were as affordable as they were accessible.
>Lamborghini tractors stood out in the market as a result of this cost-effective access to parts. Another advantage that Lamborghini effectively leveraged was that tractors were very modular at the time. In short, this means that most of their parts were interchangeable, which allowed farmers to cut their costs.
