in 1958, lamborghini traveled to maranello to buy a ferrari 250 gt: a two-seat coupé with a body designed by coachbuilder pininfarina. he went on to own several more over the years, including a scaglietti-designed 250 gt swb berlinetta and a 250 gt 2+2 four-seater. lamborghini thought ferrari's cars were good, but too noisy and rough to be proper road cars. he categorized them as repurposed track cars with poorly built interiors.
