Ultra-car legend Lamborghini on the circuit with race series

Though renowned as an ultra-sports car, Lamborghini was not born for racing.

"When our founder Ferrucio Lamborghini started the company 50 years ago, he was devoted to producing the fastest car for the street, not the race track," said Stephan Winkelmann, president and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.

But today the Italian carmaker puts in heavy effort to host racing events to strengthen its brand and help develop the sports car culture in China.
