The purchase of the company by Chrysler Corporation was another surprise. At this time, work was underway on the successor of the Countach - the Lamborghini Diablo. Significant technical and financial resources were involved in the modernization of the company and the cars produced, and the end result was another success for the company - the Diablo model very quickly brought the company back to the world level.
In 1994, the Chrysler Corporation due to financial difficulties was forced to sell Lamborghini to the Indonesian investment group M'tec (Megatech) under the leadership of Tommy Suharto. For the same reason (financial problems) the company changed its owner again in 1998, this time Audi AG became the new owner [5]. The new owner again had a major influence on the design of the supercars produced, today's Lamborghini Murciélago.

During the seventies, successful sales of the Lamborghini Countach kept the company afloat. Automotive production soon became self-sufficient and profitable, but Lamborghini nevertheless sold his stake in the company to Swiss investors Georges-Henri Rossetti and René Leimer. Feruccio Lamborghini died in 1993 at the age of 76.
As a result of the 1970s oil crisis, sports car sales plummeted. The company, among others, faced financial problems, supplies of spare parts were disrupted, orders for cars were sold out 2 years in advance and buyers were very unhappy with this waiting period. As a result, the company declared itself bankrupt in 1978. An Italian court was forced to sell the company. It was bought by the Mimram brothers from Switzerland.

In 1971, Lamborghini surprised the world again with the prototype of the revolutionary new Lamborghini Countach. Although the car itself began production only three years later (in 1974), until that time it remained the focus of attention at any auto show. The prototype had the then newfangled vertically opening doors, rear air intakes and a powerful 4-liter engine.
However, in 1972, the company faced a serious crisis - the contract for the supply of a large batch of tractors to South America was interrupted. Lack of funds forced Ferruccio to sell part of his share in tractor production, which was bought by Fiat. Ultimately, the entire tractor production came under the ownership of the Same Deutz-Fahr Group, which produces Lamborghini tractors to this day.

The prototype Lamborghini 350 GTV was unveiled to the public at the Turin Auto Show in October 1963. In March 1964, the first production Lamborghini 350 GT was shown. Sales of the production version were very successful. Born under the sign of Ta**us, Ferruccio Lamborghini decorated the car with the bull logo.
The success of the 350 GT was followed by the equally successful Lamborghini 400 GT, which brought enough funds to develop the company's first true gem, the legendary Lamborghini Miura. This prototype of the car was demonstrated by Ferruccio himself in November 1965 at the Turin Auto Show, and already in March 1966 a working version was presented at the Geneva Motor Show. Miura was a great success - in 1967 alone, 111 cars were sold - and the company gained popularity around the world.

Enzo sent Lamborghini back with a desire to continue to engage in tractors, because Lamborghini does not understand anything in cars, and even more so in sports ones. Lamborghini returned to the factory, disassembled the drivetrain in his Ferrari 250 GT, and found that many of the parts were manufactured by the same manufacturer as the Lamborghini tractors. In his warehouses, he found a suitable replacement, and after assembly, the problem was resolved.

Ferruccio decided that his car would have a V12 engine, this engine was also chosen for economic reasons. Ferruccio recruited the talented engineer Giotto Bizzarrini, the owner of Bizzarrini S.p.A, who had previously developed the V12 for Ferrari.

In the early 1960s, Ferruccio Lamborghini owned several companies and could afford to buy expensive cars. At various times he owned a Mercedes 300SL, several Maserati 3500 GTs, and a Jaguar E-type. He also owned a different Ferrari 250 GT. But in every car, he found some flaws.
There are several versions about the reasons why Lamborghini founded his own company. All these versions boil down to the conflict between Enzo Ferrari (the owner of the Ferrari company) and Ferruccio Lamborghini. The most popular version, told by Ferruccio Lamborghini's son, is that Lamborghini came to the factory to complain to Enzo Ferrari about the quality of the traction in his Ferrari 250 GT car.

Executive stylist John Najjar, who was a fan of World War II fighter North American P-51 Mustang. He suggested a name.
The first prototype T-5 under the motto Mustang (1962) was a two-seater mid-engined roadster with an extremely unusual, futuristic design. This car used the German engine Ford Taunus V4 in 40 hp. The exterior resembled a second-generation Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray (1963-1967) and European sports cars such as the Jaguar E-Type.

To restore order, in 2005 SAE developed the SAE J2723 standard, which introduced the term "SAE Certified Power". According to this standard, after the numerical value of power, it is necessary to indicate by which standard it was determined - either SAE J1995 or SAE J1349, ie, the power is the same amount of horsepower, but measured "in parrots"… For example, the engine Chrysler 426 HEMI in 1971 had a declared power of 425 hp, and in 1972 the power of the same engine was noted in 350 hp. but according to the new SAE! In modern documentation, the designation of standards may not be written and indicate only - "general" or "net". Comparing the engine power of the American classic before 1972, measured in bhp, with similar figures for European and domestic engines of those years in hp, as well as with modern ones - is like directly comparing the numerical speed values ​​recorded in miles per hour and in kilometers per hour or compare the numerical values ​​of the length of the boa constrictor, measured "in parrots" and "in monkeys".

In 1972, the Community of Road Engineers introduced the new SAE J1349 standard, which brought the units of measurement and their numerical values and test methods much closer to the European ones, although minor differences remained. This standard measures the "net power" (SAE net power (SAE hp)). For example, the Chrysler L engine with a displacement of 383 cubic inches (6.28 liters) with a carburetor B V8 has a "total power of SAE" 330 bhp (246 kW), which is identical to the "net power of SAE" 240 bhp (179 kW).

It should be noted that the power values ​​stated by manufacturers in different countries may differ for the same engine. In particular, this applies to data provided by American manufacturers. The fact is that until 1972, the engine power of American cars was determined in accordance with the standards of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), according to which the unit of measurement was the so-called "total horsepower" (English brake horsepower). bhp)), defined according to the standards SAE J245 and SAE J1995, which differed from the European ones (tested the engine without attachments, without the manufacturer's exhaust system, etc.). There were a number of other regulations for determining power both in America and in countries in different regions, and therefore in the passports of cars could be found significant differences.

Ford Mustang is a Pony car of the Ford Motor Company.
The initial version (1964/1965 - 1973) was created on the basis of units of the family sedan Ford Falcon. The first production Mustang was released on March 9, 1964 as a 1965 model (also among the collectors for the Mustang released before the fall of 1964, the unofficial designation "1964 1/2 model" is used). On April 17, the car was presented to the public in New York, and on April 19 - shown by all three American television networks. The promotion of the car was accompanied by an active advertising campaign. It was one of the most successful premieres in the history of the automotive industry. More than a million Mustangs were sold in the first 18 months.
