To celebrate this, the company wants fans to explore the factory’s history, including all its changes over the years, which have allowed it to produce some of the fastest and fastest cars.
The company kicked off this year’s celebration by renovating the Lamborghini museum and showrooms in the US.
Ferruccio Lamborghini was born in Cento, Kingdom of Italy to a poor peasant family.
After amassing a small fortune for himself and finding a love for fast cars like the Maserati 3500 GT and Ferrari 250 GT, he decided to start his own car brand.

Lamborghini then searched for a location for his new factory, and he eventually chose to settle in Sant’Agata Bolognese, which was just a few miles from his hometown of Cento.
Construction began in the fall of 1962 and was completed in the winter in just eight months.
Throughout the 1960s, the facility saw many changes as production evolved.
The factory’s area at that time was 12,000 m2 with two assembly lines, president’s office, sales, customer service and engineering departments.
In 1968, three new buildings were added to consolidate production capabilities and open up testing departments.
The 70s were a difficult time for the brand, but the 80s and 90s saw many technological advances that allowed Lamborghini to expand production.
This time there was an expansion of the company’s research and development into electronic and integrated systems, an extremely necessary factor, along with the application of carbon materials on supercar models.
All this work led to the brand being merged into the Audi group in 1998.
Lamborghini received strong development in the 80s and 90s thanks to technological advances.
In 2000, the factory produced 296 cars and had 440 employees.
The headquarters’ renovation was completed and a museum was also built.
To date, this supercar manufacturer has built Lamborghini Park, a new prototype development center.
With the launch of the Lamborghini Urus, the company has seen one of its biggest expansions in decades, with the construction of a factory specifically for the car along with a new 13-surface test track.
The Lamborghini factory today is regularly upgraded to achieve the company’s environmental protection goals.
The company has always focused on its environmental impact and has used many measures such as adding trigeneration plants (plants that produce electricity, heat and cold energy simultaneously, helping to increase efficiency).
