Story-Listen to your Customer
Ferruccio was originally a farmer who also manufactured tractors. His business was very successful and he was among the most wealthy in Italy. He owned Ferrari among other supercars. The Ferrari used to give him constant trouble. Being a mechanic, he tried to fix the problem and found out that his Ferrari had the same clutch as used in one of his tractors.
“All my Ferraris had clutch problems. When you drove normally, everything was fine. But when you were going hard, the clutch would slip under acceleration; it just wasn’t up to the job.” Was his constant complaint.
Ferruccio went to the service guys regularly to have a clutch rebuilt or renewed, and every time, the car was taken away for several hours and he was not allowed to watch it being repaired. The problem with the clutch was never cured,
So Ferruccio decided to talk to Enzo Ferrari; owner of Ferrari. He had to wait for him for very long time.
‘Ferrari, your cars are rubbish!’ Ferruccio complained. Enzo Ferrari got furious. “Lamborghini, you may be able to drive a tractor but you will never be able to handle a Ferrari Properly.’ Ferrari replied. This was the point when Ferruccio finally decided to make a perfect car. That was the day Lamborghini got born and rest is history.
