Ferruccio Lamborghini and Enzo Ferrari. Two personalities. Two monumental egos that collided like trains on the same track. One was a renowned manufacturer of agricultural tractors, the other ran a racing team and manufactured the best sports cars of the time. The history of Lamborghini is inextricably linked to what was a personal affront between the two titans of the industry. It is a story that has not been told until now on the big screen. It premieres on November 18 “Lamborghini: The Man Behind The Legend”.
It is a film produced by Lionsgate Films and has actors of the stature of Frank Grillo – of Italian descent – as Ferruccio Lamborghini, the award-winning Mira Sorvino as his wife or Gabriel Byrne as Enzo Ferrari. The film is a biopic, a dramatization of the life of Ferruccio Lamborghini, and focuses especially on his rivalry with Enzo Ferrari. as you know, Lamborghini begins to manufacture cars due to a rudeness from Enzo Ferrari to Ferruccioto which he blurted out “go back to your tractors, farmer” in a derogatory manner.
A film about Enzo Ferrari is also in production at the moment.
It all happened after complaining about the clutch of his Ferrari to the “commendatore” himself, who considered the owner of Lamborghini inferior. The film focuses on Ferruccio’s life, especially how he started building supercars., and the difficulties he had to overcome to achieve it. Above these lines you can find the trailer for this film, which will be released both in theaters and on digital platforms on demand on November 18. I think it looks very good, and promises to be a delight for the most petrolhead.
