Which Italian luxury car brand originally manufactured tractors?

The Italian luxury car brand that originally manufactured tractors is Lamborghini.

Before it became synonymous with V12 supercars, Lamborghini grew from Ferruccio Lamborghini’s agricultural-machinery business. He founded Lamborghini Trattori in 1948 in Cento, Italy, using surplus military hardware and other readily available components to build tractors for Italy’s postwar farming economy. The company’s early success helped finance Ferruccio’s later ambitions in automobiles.

Ferruccio founded Automobili Lamborghini in 1963, several years after establishing businesses in tractors, heating equipment, and air conditioning. The first production Lamborghini car, the 350 GT, arrived in 1964, followed by landmark models such as the Miura. That history is why the answer is Lamborghini—not Ferrari, Maserati, or Pagani, all of which are associated with Italian performance or luxury cars but did not begin as tractor manufacturers.

Lamborghini Trattori eventually became separate from the sports-car company and is now associated with the SAME Deutz-Fahr group, while Automobili Lamborghini operates under Audi and the Volkswagen Group.
