By the early 1970s, Lamborghini had already shocked the automotive world with the Miura, a car so revolutionary that it redefined the very concept of the supercar. Yet, despite this breakthrough, Lamborghini remained, at its core, a small Italian manufacturer. Production numbers were modest, infrastructure was limited, and the company was still closely tied to the personality of its founder, Ferruccio Lamborghini. The next decades would prove critical in shaping Lamborghini’s identity—not just as an Italian dream, but as a global icon.
