Alternators for Lamborghini Supercars

Prior to the Lamborghini brand name’s association with elite, ultra high-performance exotic supercars and motorsports, the company was one of the most important manufacturers of farm and agricultural equipment during Italy’s postwar economic surge.  Industrialist Ferruccio Lamborghini founded Lamborghini Trattori in 1948 after the success of his first tractor, the “Carioca”.  The booming tractor company enabled Ferruccio Lamborghini to venture into multiple avenues of entrepreneurship, as well as build himself a sizable car collection that included the pedestrian Fiat Topolino to top-of-the-line luxury sport GT cars like the Jaguar E-Type and Mercedes-Benz 300 SL.  With his background in mechanical engineering and taking inspiration from a pair of Maserati 3500 GTs and a problematic Ferrari 250GT that he owned, Ferruccio Lamborghini opened Automobili Lamborghini in 1963.  Lamborghini’s negative ownership experience with his Maseratis and Ferraris led him to create his vision of what the ultimate Italian car should be.  He believed that a proper GT car should not have to compromise between luxury and performance, that a real gran turismo car should have the power and performance of a sports car combined with the plush accoutrements and comfort amenities of a luxury car.  This personal code was reflected in the creation of the mythical 1966 Miura, the fastest production car of the day and the car that would set the standard for rear/mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports cars.  Ironically enough, the Miura’s motorsports-influenced design and engineering went against Lamborghini’s personal ideals.  This anti-motorsports sentiment originated from an earlier embarrassing incident at the 1948 Mille Miglia when his modified Fiat Topolino plowed into the side of a building.  The Miura’s success and critical acclaim cemented Lamborghini’s reputation as an ultimate supercar manufacturer and secured their future involvement in Formula 1 and sports car racing.  Lamborghini followed up the Miura with the Countach and Diablo of the 70s through the 1990s.  Today, the legacy continues under Volkswagen AG ownership with the Murcielago, Reventon, Gallardo, Aventador, and Huracan.
