Lambo Toro Tractor Concept, reminds us of where we came from
So like many great automotive pioneers before him, Ferruccio Lamborghini set forth to produce the best supercars in the world, and compete head to head with Mr. Enzo Ferrari. First Lamborghini designed the GTV prototype, a 170 MPH sports coupe powered by a 3.5 Liter V12. He then went on to sell the 350GT then the 400GT, when Lamborghini had enough to sustain the company; he built his first true sports car the mid engine 12 cylinder Lamborghini Miura.
It took a Canadian designer by the name of Jason Battersby to bridge the gap between Lamborghini’s past as a manufacturer of agriculture equipment to the company’s future as one of the premier supercar builders in the world. The Lamborghini Toro pays homage to Ferruccio’s humble beginnings and at the same time points the future design of Lamborghini’s speed machines in the right direction.
