just a thought

I was talking about history...

When he had problems with his Ferrari 250GT he went to complain to Maranello personally. But Enzo refused to meet him and he decided to build his on GT car, a that would be better than Ferrari, of course.

The first car, 350GTV debuted in 1963 Turin motor show and was the star of the show immediately. Than in 10 years time followed by a string of new cars, including the famous Miura and Countach, both are considered as among the greatest supercars of all time.
