You'll notice that in the video, tractor guy mentions that Lamborghini's automobile line wasn't particularly profitable off the bat. It wasn't really until 1974 that they hit their stride, with the introduction of the Countach. That car captured the imagination of a lot of young men, and was revolutionary in terms of its styling. Of course they still make some awesome tractors as well. One was featured on an episode of Top Gear.
The corporate rivalry between Ferrari and Lamborghini continues to this day. When Ferrari pitched a fit over Deadmaus' vinyl-wrapped "Purrari" 458 Italia, and eventually took his car away, Lamborghini was quick to help him out with a replacement, the so-called 'Nyanborghini Purracan."
