History

The Lamborghini Aventador is produced by the Italian manufacturer Lamborghini. It was launched on February 28th, 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show. Five months after its initial unveiling in Sant'Agata Bolognese, the vehicle was designed to replace the then-decade-old Murciélago as the new flagship model. After the Aventador was revealed, Lamborghini announced that it had already sold over 12 of the production vehicles, with deliveries starting in the second half of 2011. By June 2013, Lamborghini had already built 2,000 Aventadors, which took two years to achieve this milestone.
Ferruccio Lamborghini was the creator of the Lamborghini. He was born on April 28th, 1916 and died in 1993. He had three wives named Clelia Monti, Annita Borgatti, Maria Theresa Cane, and two children named Tonino Lamborghini and Patrizia Lamborghini. The first Lamborghini was created in 1963, just in time for the Turin Auto Show.
The company's first models were released in the mid-1960s and were known for their refinement, power and comfort. Lamborghini gained wide acclaim in 1966, which established rear mid-engine, rear wheel drive as the standard layout for high-performance cars of that time. Lamborghini grew rapidly during the first ten years, but sales plunged in the start of 1973 because of financial downturn and the oil crisis. Ferruccio Lamborghini sold ownership of the company to Georges-Henri Rossetti and René Leimer and retired in 1974. The company went bankrupt in 1978, and was placed in the receivership of brothers Jean-Claude and Patrick Mimran in 1980. The Mimrans purchased the company out of receivership by 1984 and invested in the company's expansion.
