Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. is an Italian brand and manufacturer of luxury sports cars and SUVs based in Sant'Agata Bolognese and tractors Lamborghini Trattori in Pieve di Cento, Italy. The company is owned by the Volkswagen Group through its subsidiary Audi.
Ferruccio Lamborghini, an Italian manufacturing magnate, founded Automobili Ferruccio Lamborghini S.p.A. in 1963 to compete with established marques, including Ferrari. The company gained wide acclaim in 1966 for the Miura sports coupé, which established rear mid-engine, rear wheel drive as the standard layout for high-performance cars of the era. Lamborghini grew rapidly during its first decade, but sales plunged in the wake of the 1973 worldwide financial downturn and the oil crisis. The firm's ownership changed three times after 1973, including a bankruptcy in 1978. American Chrysler Corporation took control of Lamborghini in 1987 and sold it to Malaysian investment group Mycom Setdco and Indonesian group V'Power Corporation in 1994. In 1998, Mycom Setdco and V'Power sold Lamborghini to the Volkswagen Group where it was placed under the control of the group's Audi division.
New products and model lines were introduced to the brand's portfolio and brought to the market and saw an increased productivity for the brand. In the late 2000s, during the worldwide financial crisis and the subsequent economic crisis, Lamborghini's sales saw a drop of nearly 50 percent.
Lamborghini produces sports cars and V12 engines for offshore powerboat racing. Lamborghini currently produces the V12-powered Aventador and the V10-powered Huracán along with the Urus SUV powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine.

Bugatti Automobiles est un constructeur d’automobiles hyper-sportives de grand luxe français appartenant à 55 % au groupe Rimac Automobili depuis son rachat en 2021. Fondée en 1909 par le constructeur franco-italien Ettore Bugatti, l’entreprise est longtemps considérée comme pionnière dans le domaine de l’automobile et produit de luxueuses sportives de prestige marquées par l’adage cher à Ettore : « Rien n’est trop beau, rien n’est trop cher ».
Bugatti est dépositaire de plus de 1 000 inventions brevetées en mécanique et se distingue particulièrement en compétition automobile, notamment dans la première moitié du XXe siècle, avec ses « légendaires » bolides bleus de France à la calandre en fer à cheval. Son palmarès compte plus de 10 000 victoires nationales et internationales en course ainsi que 37 records. Reprise un temps par le « fils du Patron » Gianoberto Bugatti, dit Jean, décédé précocement, Bugatti est contraint de mettre un terme à ses activités peu après la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
De nouvelles productions d’automobiles portant le nom de Bugatti sont cependant entreprises après la disparition de la marque, d’abord en 1987 par l’Italien Romano Artioli sous le nom de « Bugatti Automobili SpA » ayant pour fait majeur la construction d'une toute nouvelle usine futuriste en Italie et le lancement d'une toute nouvelle égérie pour la marque, la EB110, puis en 1998 par le groupe allemand Volkswagen AG avec la création de la société Bugatti Automobiles SAS. En 2005, Bugatti produit un modèle d’exception, une supercar : la Bugatti Veyron 16.4 et ses versions Grand Sport, Super Sport et Grand Sport Vitesse. Bugatti arrête en 2015 la production du modèle Veyron, après 450 exemplaires construits, et, en 2016, lance la Bugatti Chiron, du nom du pilote monégasque Louis Chiron, propulsée par un W16 développant 1 500 ch7. Sa vitesse maximale est bridée à 420 km/h.
Le 2 septembre 2019, Bugatti annonce avoir atteint la vitesse de 304,773 mph soit 490,484 km/h avec la Chiron Super Sport 300+, un prototype proche de la série. C'est le pilote britannique Andy Wallace qui était aux commandes sur la piste d'essai d'Ehra-Lessien en Allemagne.
Bugatti Automobiles is a French luxury hyper-sports car manufacturer 55% owned by the Rimac Automobili group since its acquisition in 2021. Founded in 1909 by the Franco-Italian manufacturer Ettore Bugatti, the company has long been considered a pioneer in the automotive sector and produces luxurious prestige sports cars marked by the adage dear to Ettore: "Nothing is too beautiful, nothing is too expensive".
Bugatti is the custodian of more than 1,000 patented mechanical inventions and particularly distinguished itself in motor racing, particularly in the first half of the 20th century, with its "legendary" French blue racing cars with a horseshoe grille. His track record includes more than 10,000 national and international race victories as well as 37 records. Taken over for a time by the "Boss's son" Gianoberto Bugatti, known as Jean, who died early, Bugatti was forced to put an end to its activities shortly after the Second World War.
New productions of automobiles bearing the name of Bugatti were however undertaken after the disappearance of the brand, first in 1987 by the Italian Romano Artioli under the name of "Bugatti Automobili SpA" having as a major event the construction of a a brand new futuristic factory in Italy and the launch of a brand new muse for the brand, the EB110, then in 1998 by the German group Volkswagen AG with the creation of the company Bugatti Automobiles SAS. In 2005, Bugatti produced an exceptional model, a supercar: the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 and its Grand Sport, Super Sport and Grand Sport Vitesse versions. Bugatti stopped production of the Veyron model in 2015, after 450 units were built, and in 2016 launched the Bugatti Chiron, named after Monegasque driver Louis Chiron, powered by a W16 developing 1,500 hp7. Its top speed is limited to 420 km/h.
On September 2, 2019, Bugatti announced that it had reached the speed of 304.773 mph or 490.484 km/h with the Chiron Super Sport 300+, a prototype close to the series. British driver Andy Wallace was in charge on the Ehra-Lessien test track in Germany.

Speed: 170 km/h
Production time: 1967 - 1969
Production outlet: 113,869

Special:
- The 124 Sport Coupé was designed in-house Centro Stile FIAT by Mario Boano, based on the 124 Saloon car (Berlina in Italian) and technically similar to the Spider (designed by Tom Tjaarda from Pininfarina S.p.A., Cambiano - Italy), but with less engine variants and presented at the 1967 Geneva Motor Show.
- The four cylinder, aluminum crossflow head, engine, designed by ex-Ferrari engineer Aurelio Lampredi, has a toothed timing belt to drive the twin overhead camshafts DOHC), the first mass-produced engine to feature this instead of the usual chain-drive.
- The 124 Sport Coupé was also the first mass production car with glued front and rear windows.
- This so called “three-box notchback 2+2 “ has a four-speed manual gearbox, a twin-chokeWeber 34 DFH carburettor, a viscous fan clutch, a 12-Volts electric system, a 200 km/h (120 mph) speedometer, three supplementary gauges, a faux wood steering wheel, a woodgrain dashboard and console top, a 45 liter fuel tank and rear wheel drive.
- The chassis with steel monocoque body has independent wishbone front suspension with coil springs, front and rear anti-roll bars and an advanced torque tube rear axle, located by parallel trailing arms, with coil spring suspension, bucket seats trimmed in vinyl at the front, a locking glovebox, power-assisted disc brakes all around, worm & roller steering and the tail lights shared with the Lamborghini Espada and Iso Rivolta.
- The torque-tube rear axle of the A series was replaced by a four-link rear axle with a Panhard rod in mid-'68.
- This sporty car was rust very rust sensitive, so only few survivors remain today.
- Alloy wheels, specially designed by Cromodora for the 124 Sport Coupé, Carello rectangular fog lamps and a five-speed manual gearbox (by mid-’67) were optional.
"By embracing the Restomod philosophy, Kimera Automobili takes this concept to the extreme. By combining the style, flavor and charm of one of the most legendary racing "queens" of the 1980s, with the characteristics of a modern car in terms of technology, quality and performance, the EVO37 is born..."
