Lamborghini is a great brand that makes cars and sport bikes.The company's first models were released in the mid-1960s, and were noted for their refinement, power and comfort. Lamborghini gained wide acclaim in 1966 for the
Miura sports coupé, which established
mid-engine design as the standard layout for high-performance cars of the era. After a decade of rapid growth, hard times befell the company in the mid-1970s, as sales plunged in the wake of the
1973 world financial downturn and
oil crisis. After going through bankruptcy and three changes in ownership, Lamborghini came under the corporate umbrella of the
Chrysler Corporation in 1987.
