Earlier today, Automobili Lamborghini announced the official celebration of its 63rd anniversary. Founded on May 7, 1963, by industrialist Ferruccio Lamborghini following his successful entry into the tractor and heating equipment sectors, the company achieved its first major technical milestone within five months of incorporation, when engineers completed a 3.5-liter V12 engine on the test bench. The 350 GTV prototype debuted publicly at the Turin Motor Show in October of that year, establishing the brand's founding commitment to performance and independent design.
This year also carries dual historical significance for the Raging Bull brand, as the Miura, which made its public debut at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show, celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2026. Engineered around a transverse mid-mounted V12, the Miura, designed by Marcello Gandini under Nuccio Bertone, was the first production car to bring the mid-engine supercar layout to production at scale, influencing the architecture of high-performance vehicles across the industry for the following six decades.
"1963 marks the beginning of a vision that continues to guide us. Today, 63 is much more than a number: it is a symbol that expresses our essence. Celebrating it means continuing to evolve while remaining faithful to our roots. To celebrate this year through Lamborghini Arena makes this anniversary even more meaningful, because it allows us to share this moment with our community." - Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.
Now firmly under VW-Audi ownership, the number 63 functions as a recurring identifier across Lamborghini's product portfolio. The Sián FKP 37, the Italian automaker's first hybrid model, was produced in exactly 63 units. The Aventador SVJ 63 and SVJ 63 Roadster carried the designation as a limited-production marker.
The SC63 hybrid prototype entered the FIA World Endurance Championship competition under that number. Collaborations with Ducati, including the Diavel 1260 Lamborghini and the Panigale V4 Lamborghini Speciale Clienti, extended the reference across complementary Italian premium brands. The Giallo Maggio finish, named for the founding month, continues to see strong uptake among clients configuring high-specification vehicles.
To celebrate this momentous milestone, the community will convene at Imola this Saturday and Sunday for Lamborghini Arena, a two-day gathering of owners, dealers, and enthusiasts.
