Supercars came much later, following owner Ferruccio Lamborghini's bad experience with his Ferrari 250GT's clutch. After which, he decided to start building GT and supercars. Lamborghini's tractor business still exists though, even after 50 years and the company has now unveiled the stylish new 2013 Nitro tractor.
