Before the 350GT, Lamborghini made tractors. Not hulking, slow cars. Literal tractors. It's how Ferruccio Lamborghini made his money in post-war Italy, but it wasn't his passion. Fortune in hand, the Italian turned to his real goal: building the best sports cars possible, which meant taking on industry giant Ferrari. In 1963, he founded Automobili Ferruccio Lamborghini. A year later, he gave the world the 350GT, the first production car branded with the charging bull, built in Sant'Agata Bolognese, just 16 miles from Maranello.
In the half century since, Lamborghini has produced some remarkable cars. The Miura, one of the best two-seat, mid-engine cars ever. The Countach, which made curved lines seem like the lamest idea ever. The Murcielago, the first model built under the ownership of Audi. And now you can see them all in one glorious GIF, created by PartCatalog.com.
Lamborghini, like other automakers in the supercar genre, tends to crank out lots of variations on each model (there are enough takes on the Gallardo to justify a top 10 list). So the GIF is restricted to the main models. It's also missing the LM002, the ill-advised Lambo SUV.
