Ferrucio Lamborghini Museum
"Go back to your tractors and let the building of sports-cars over to those who know how to build one"
- Enzo Ferrari
This was what Mr. Enzo Ferrari told to Mr. Ferrucio Lamborghini, something he would regret later. Three months later the first Lamborghini sports-car was presented at the Geneva Motor Show, it was a prototype of the 350 GTV.
In this article you will find some pictures of that Lamborghini 350 GTV Prototype.I went to the Ferrucio Lamborghini Museum where you will find some of the rarest Lamborghini’s, a bunch of tractors and even a helicopter.
You need to make an appointment if you want to visit the museum, you simply call them and say that you would like to visit the place, it’s also a smart thing to say that you really like to see all those rare Lamborghini’s because they don’t open the place so often.
We convinced the man at the phone and when we finally got there (a GPS is very useful in that region) the man introduced himself, his last name was Lamborghini and Ferrucio Lamborghini was his uncle. He was our guide for the day and told us some really interesting things about Ferrucio Lamborghini and the history of Lamborghini.
The Miura SV and Countach 5000 QV of Ferrucio Lamborghini himself are immediately at your left when you enter the building.
And the whole place is filled with one-offs and prototypes, it’s bizarre to see all those special cars at once.
The museum is all about Ferrucio himself and not so much about the extreme looking Lambo’s we know today, so don’t expect to see the Murciélago, Gallardo or Aventador. If you’re only interested in seeing those cars you'd better go to the “normal” Lamborghini Museum, where you can get a tour around the factory, I think somebody already wrote an article about that museum.
We all know that Ferrucio Lamborghini started with making tractors, so I included some pictures of those tractors, I hope you guys don't mind, I just want to show you all how this place looks like on the inside.
I'm sorry for the quality of the pictures, at that time I wasn't really into photography like I'm today and the lighting was quite bad (almost no natural light).

I love it how the word "Museo" is written.
