Lamborghini has turned out to be everything Ferruccio didn't want it to be - and thank heavens. What started out as the Ultimate Grudge Match against Enzo Ferrari created some of the most outrageous cars ever made.

This episode covers the history of Lamborghini - from Ferruccio's infamous clash with Enzo Ferrari over a slipping clutch, through the Miura, Coutach, LM002, Diablo, Murciélago, Aventador - and the lesser-known models like the Urraco and the front-engined Islero, Jarama, Espada, et al.
Oh, and the Lamborghini Urus.
And of course, we discuss the now-late, great designer, Marcello Gandini - who designed so many of Lamborghini's most beautiful cars.
Learn everything about the history of the world's most outrageous car company - here. With laughs, smiles, and too much caffeine.

The ending was hilarious just to hear, obviously not to act upon any grudges... Stay chill my friends. And yes please make a 3hr + Piech episode or 3+ separately or whatever it takes. Me want all the details, no short cuts please. They can be rolled out in stages to draw it out if necessary to keep us all in suspense. High bar of expectations, no pressure, as when u do ur craft, the results speak for themselves. Thank you and enjoy you efforts Gentlemen.

Iain Tyrrell of Tyrrel's classic workshop actually has had Ferruccio's Ferrari in his shop and test fitted several Lamborghini tractor clutches. Together with Olivier Nameche they put all the pieces together and proved that story to be 100% plausible/possible.

I'm truly surprised that this show doesn't have hundreds of thousands of subscribers. You guys have fantastic chemistry, an incredibly wide range of automotive history, experience, and knowledge, and are able to riff endlessly and seemingly effortlessly. Your tangential offshoots are very entertaining, as are the edits. The cherry on top is your ethos as to what makes a good driving experience (hint: it ain't the gizmos!). As has been said many times before, thanks for the weekly entertainment drop of this show, as well as the other haggerty videos with which you guys are involved. Looking forward to the long form streaming season of the Piechasodes!

I can't be the only one to think that if you reached out to the Porsche museum or VW they'd throw some marketing $ and cars at you to make the Piechisode as long as you want. It's a celebration of of those brands through that man. Can't hurt to ask. If it's a Hagerty problem, not letting you, fair, you know your business better than I do. Just really want the 3+ hour documentary version. And / or lots of reference material linked in the description so I can go read more.

There may be some diesel-shaped thing that they’d rather forget about - a direct consequence of the culture the man cultivated. Even if VW would consider it, I don’t think Jason would be fully comfortable that the sponsorship doesn’t have editorial impact. The most I can see is the museums bringing some cars for the shoot.

On the topic of front-engine to mid-engine conversion, when building the 5 Turbo, Renault DID turn the engine and transmission around because the first gen Renault 5 had transmission first, then engine; similar to Citroen Traction Avant, DS, SM, Saab 900 etc. Lotus also did the same trick when they were transplanting Renault 16 drivetrain to their first gen Europa.

I can't believe that DTS actually got something wrong... (!??) Touring did NOT design the 350 GT - the brilliant Franco Scaglioni designed the gorgeous, original 350 GTV, and Touring Fucked It Up(!), resulting in the slightly awkward final product. btw, You guys NEED to do an entire show on my man Franco S. - the most under-appreciated of the truly great designers of his generation. Perhaps in conjunction with a commemorative episode for Marcello Gandini's passing?

So to sum up… Lamborghini started out wanting to make practical GT street Cruisers, customers bought the radical stuff….Lamborghini wants to make outlandish over the top performance cars, customers buy the SUV…. The market knows what the market wants more than the individual running the company wants the market to be…. For good or bad

54:10 Hey! At least the G wagon was and is built at the same place since it's beginning! (the only ones not built in Graz were the few license produced ones with a Peugeot engine for the french army) Sorry, but i am from the area where it's built, and it's a bit of a local "national treasure" here. (even though almost no one here can afford to buy one that's not at least 7-10 years old.) Edit: For Mr Camisas suggestion: there's a part of a german song lyric where a guy shat into a paper bag, placed in front of the "bad person" door (knowing they were at home) lit it on fire and rang the doorbell. The person then found the burning pile of sh... and how do you put that out? you stamp it out....

Yeah but like didn't Ferruccio pose with like two girls in each arm when the MIura was getting introduced? In Greece we'd consider him the sort of guy who'd frequent skyladika and be the sort of chap who'd park his tinted Mercedes outside of nightclubs. Not classy. If I recall, he had a Ferrari or a sports car for every day of the week or so the legend goes... again, not someone subtle who really wanted to make Aston Martins. He certainly sounds like whoever has ran Aston for the last decades, anyone with a big ego if the stories I've heard from journos are to be believed or the embarassement of the Stroll stuff in F1. If anything would make me sneer more at a modern Aston is remembering that because at least in the 00s they made the cars we always thought they made. Knowing Ferruccio bought a Countach and he almost couldn't afford it I think by the 80s? I dunno. I don't think he'd be that embarrassed by the Lambos of today with that in mind There's a video of his very car on Tyrrell's Classic Workshop channel and he also debunked the 250 having the same clutch as his tractor a bit. The guy was a show off, not that there's anything wrong with that. That's kind of why I like the Urus despite it being a warmed over Q7/RSQ8, beats the hell out of the grey boxes that come out with a bit of spice. Will agree though, they cater too much for the fast money demographic considering who actually buys the Urus... You either have to be Briatore or an influencer to have one. I still like em.

@johnbacon4997 4 ай бұрын

I do not get the hate for Urus. European cars that I have seen are all extremely well finished. Might be spec dependant or vary around different markets. To me Cayenne GT was not as good to drive as an Urus. If looking for a daily driver that does everything Urus seems like a perfect solution with Audi quality, Porsche dynamics and Lamborghini design. High residual values mean that it is cheaper to own than Cayenne, X5 M and other high performance SUVs.

@DJ_SayWhaaaat 4 ай бұрын

The Urus is a really weird product from the Twilight Zone. On one hand it is - like you said - a well built car that is good to drive (I hear, I don't have a chance to drive one), while being a lucrative product for its manufacturer. On the other hand, for car enthusiasts, the badge on the hood does not and should not be associated with a SUV or anything else so practical, or be a re-styled car from another manufacturer. Lamborghinis are supposed to be crazy and wild and light your heart on fire. Their speed and wild designs are so alluring that you're willing to overlook the impracticality. It doesn't even matter, a Lamborghini is (supposedly) supposed to be so desirable that it makes you lose all faculty of your common sense. This is obviously a purely emotional stance. Who knows where Lamborghini would even be as a business if it weren't for the Urus. But even I can't help but feel I'd like the Urus a lot better (as an idea) if it was styled something more like the LM002, or if the Estoque had happened instead.

@KarlkEst 4 ай бұрын

@@DJ_SayWhaaaat Estoque would have been more suitable for Lamborghini but would have been seen as a posh Panamera. LM002 inspired Urus might have been cooler but would have cost much much more. What could have been, can be seen as a Ferrari Purosangue - it has V12, pure Ferrari platform but costs twice as much and is really unreliable as tests and first cars have shown.
