engined automobiles capable of human
transport. In 1806, the first cars powered by an internal combustion
engine running on fuel gas
appeared, which led to the introduction in 1885 of the ubiquitous
modern gasoline- or petrol-fueled internal combustion engine. Cars
powered by electric power
briefly appeared at the turn of the 20th century, but largely
disappeared from use until the turn of the 21st century. The early
history of the automobile can be divided into a number of eras, based on
the prevalent means of propulsion. Later periods were defined by trends
in exterior styling, and size and utility preferences.

Lamborghini grew rapidly during its first decade, but hard
times befell the company when sales plunged in the wake of the 1973
worldwide financial downturn and the 1973 oil crisis. The firm's
ownership changed three times after 1973, including a bankruptcy in
1978, before Chrysler Corporation
took control in 1987. Unable to operate Lamborghini profitably,
Chrysler sold Lamborghini to Malaysian investment group Mycom Setdco and
Indonesian group V'Power Corporation in 1994. Lack of success continued
through the 1990s, until Mycom Setdco and V'Power sold Lamborghini to
the AUDI AG subsidiary of Volkswagen Group
on 27 July 1998. Audi's ownership marked the beginning of a period of
stability and increased productivity for Lamborghini. Sales increased
nearly tenfold over the course of the 2000s, peaking with record sales
in 2007 and 2008. The world financial crisis
in the late 2000s negatively affected all luxury car makers worldwide,
and caused Lamborghini's sales to drop nearly 50 percent.

Manufacturing magnate Ferruccio Lamborghini founded Automobili Ferruccio Lamborghini S.p.A. in 1963 with the objective of producing a refined grand touring car to compete with offerings from established marques such as Ferrari.
The company's first models were released in the mid-1960s and were
noted for their refinement, power and comfort. Lamborghini 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.
