normally, and all was normal. But when lauched, the clutch will slip
during acceleration," recalls Ferruccio."I
used to go to Maranello to improve the coupling and mempebaruinya, and
each time the vehicle repaired for many hours, I was not allowed to see
the improvement process," he explained.
"The
problem of coupling is never finished, so I decided to talk to Enzo
Ferrari. I have to wait so long." Ferrari, your cars are crap, "I
complained. He was very angry. 'Lamborghini, you might be able to drive a
tractor, but you will not be driving a Ferrari with the right '. From where I finally decided to make a perfect car, "said Ferruccio.
Enzo Ferrari, is having an attitude that 'unique'. Famous sentence he ever ask you quite a controversial "consumers are not always right". Even
Ferrari dedicates a chapter in his autobiography, 'My terrifying Fun'
for consumers, who mentioned some of them seem more concerned with their
Ferrari colors rather than the quality of workmanship.
If only Ferrari Lamborghini knows that better, it might be more careful so as not to set aside in future competition with ease. And
for Lamborghini, even as the tractor seemed intended to insult him,
Ferruccio never feel embarrassed by it's humble beginnings.
Lamborghini interaction with the machinery not only hone mechanic since he was a very young age. It also sparked a passion for creating unique innovations. It
will be a quality that would be selling cars that bore his name and
makes it different than any other manufacturer in the industry.
Ferruccio Lamborghini was born in 1916 in a small town called Renazzo in Cento, located in Emilia Romagna. Both
his parents are farmers who push their children out of the family
business, especially when he worked at the family-owned farm equipment.
But this is where the love of mechanical Ferruccio grow and raise. As a young child, the future of these industrialists have a deep love of fast cars and on motorcycles.

has been studying in the engineering school at Fratelli Tadia Institute
near Bologna, and he was known as someone who is good at fixing
anything.Once
placed Rhodes, Greece as a mechanic in the Regia Aeronautica and even
complete the task as a British prisoner of war, Ferruccio married his
first wife who died tragically in childbirth in 1974.

his father, Antonio, by using several different vehicle components

producing hand-made tractors in 1949, has grown to become one of the
Italian farm equipment manufacturers the most successful.

he starred Taurus, Ferruccio swordfish only synonymous with the symbol
of raging bull, he also showed some personality traits that have been
associated with individuals born under the constellation of the bull
logo. He is very strong, stay grounded and never forget the roots of the grass until his death.
Ferruccio is a very humble person. He
was even willing to make the tea for the journalists who came to
interview him in Tuscan Vineyard where he spent his last years in making
wine and building a golf course.
At the same time, he was never afraid to take risks and tractor-tractor reflect thirst for progress. Lamborghini
tractors are one of the most innovative in the world of agriculture
comes in 1966 as Italy's first tractor equipped with a system of
synchronized transmissions.Company's
initial customers particularly like the model DT 2R which is one of the

Many methods are used worldwide car manufacturers to reduce production costs. The goal, in addition to magnify gains, it could also push up prices to consumers.
Based
on the research and conducted leftlanenews.com summary, there were 10
tricks to save on production costs and estimate its magnitude.
1. Sharing platformAlmost the same as the machines used for some models or brands of its subsidiaries. Like the Nissan-Renault, Honda, Toyota, Lexus and Accura. It could also still in a brand like the Honda for the Civic, Accord and CR-V.Savings: Thousands of U.S. dollars.
2. Using one type of machineFor example Honda L15A engine that uses a capacity of 1.5-liter, iVTEC on Jazz, City and Freed. Producers only differentiate by modifying the engine computer (ECU) and the exhaust. The goal is to raise a little power and trick consumers with frills power increases.Savings:, there is no definite and fairly large numbers, reaching thousands of dollars permobil.3. Remove the trunk lining inside (trunk lid liners)This method is already done by VW, replacing the inside of the trunk with a coating material that is more simple. Yet his appearance must remain elegant and also able to provide good sound kekedapan.Savings: Approximately 10-15 U.S. dollars.4. AlignPrevious cooperation with rivals to be a taboo in the automotive world, especially for technology and spare parts. But these efforts to be a trend lately to share technology and unit because the manufacturer overproduction. It starts from the battery to the engine.Savings: Billions of dollars per year, because it does not require the means of production and research.5. Negate the fog lightsAdvances in technology make the use of fog lamps lighting was retired and replaced with LED. For function and style, superior LED and minimal production costs.Savings: 15-20 dollars
6. The selection of interior materialsEspecially for middle and lower segments. Manufacturers should be smart to put the components of the plastic in some hidden place for a luxurious cabin is maintained. Even today the premium car also was trying to find a cheaper alternative material but still look chic and quality.Savings: 50 - 500 U.S. dollars, depending on the segment and manufacturer of flavors.
7. Sorting variantsManufacturers must cleverly choose the variant that will be sold. Concoction offered must be compatible with the concept. This move turned out to be fun for all. More efficient production costs, the dealer becomes easy to offer to consumers about the features of the main desires. Savings: $ 1,000 after deducting the cost of services that are not counted in the cost of production.
8. Efficiency of laborIt seems the formula is applicable to all companies. As much as possible the workers are able mengeksploasir their expertise that allows holding a number of sectors.Savings: Depending on the number of employees employed.
9. Do not use the spare tireMany
advantages that can be drawn from these measures, such as cars become
more lightweight, expanded baggage and do not need to buy rims and
tires. Usually
the manufacturer to replace it with the type run flat tire or a tire
patch slipped the emergency accessories as a liquid.Savings: 40 - 50 dollars depending on the type of tire and rim.
10. Hood of a simple bufferActually is quite a setback to the technology because it uses a very simple hinged brace. Yet today the average holding luggage using hydraulic models. Even in the luxury car operation has been using an electric system.Savings: 50 - 75 dollars depending on the level of complexity.
