Trivia
Antonio Banderas and Alec Baldwin were originally cast to play Ferruccio Lamborghini and Enzo Ferrari respectively.

Goofs
In the movie it's suggested that Ferruccio Lamborghini rejected Franco Scaglione's first design proposal in favor of a more conventional design that was to become the 350 GT, the first production Lamborghini. In reality the very first Lamborghini prototype, the 350 GTV, looked exactly like the "rejected" design sketch in the movie. It was presented at the 1963 Turin Motorshow, so way before the 1964 Geneva show where the first Lamborghini was introduced according to the movie.

Quotes
Ferruccio Lamborghini: You buy a Ferrari when you want to be someone. You buy a Lamborghini when you are someone.

Great story knobbled.

The story of Lamborghini is the the stuff of legend. Marque.

A sound script albeit more fantasy than truth.

Good acting from Grillo et al.

But this is no different from your average auto epic, like every film before it, it is let down by details.

The producers were either lazy or ignorant.

Why is Mr Lamborghini driving a US spec Countach at the start ?

Mr Ferrari in a lowly Mondial ?

Why on earth are there so many shots of an old Ferrari motor when real Lambo motors are not rare.

And why were real car sounds not used ?

Instead we have some generic motor revving dubbing in.

This could have been a great motor bio pic instead we get something extremely average.

Casual viewers may be fooled but those who know cars will groan with disappointment.
