When it comes to luxury sports cars, the Ferrari seems to always be on a completely different planet to anything else that has existed. These cars are just seen as being so stylish, with new models being sold out before they are even finished coming off the production line.
However, they do have a competitor, and it is another Italian. The crazy thing is that it was due to Enzo Ferrari that the competitor even existed in the first place.
According to the story, Enzo Ferrari was in a discussion with a young man back in Italy. During that conversation, he was rather scathing about the man with him telling him how ‘you may be able to drive a tractor, but you will never be able to handle a Ferrari properly.’
Now, you might be wondering why that phrase would have such an impact on the future of Italian sports cars, but it all changes when you discover that the man he said it to was none other than Ferruccio Lamborghini. So incensed at the insolence of the man, Lamborghini then decided that he would do anything he could to produce the best car in the world, and so the famous car was born.
Since that day, the two have been constantly battling one another for supremacy, and it was all because of one comment.
