Ferruccio Lamborghini was recently inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame (AHF).

In a statement, Automobili Lamborghini said that the brand’s creator was honored last July 21 at The Icon on the Detroit waterfront.

Automobili Lamborghini Americas Chief Executive Officer Andrea Baldi accepted the honor on behalf of Lamborghini.

A marble plaque etched with Lamborghini’s signature has been installed in the Hall of Honor at the Automotive Hall of Fame wherein visitors celebrate the men and women whose automotive innovations have changed the world and revolutionized our way of life. The Automotive Hall of Fame is located at 21400 Oakwood Blvd in Dearborn, Michigan.

“Ferruccio Lamborghini was not only instrumental in establishing Automobili Lamborghini in 1963, but his unrelenting desire to always improve and innovate resulted in the creation of two of the brand’s most iconic models: the Miura and the Countach. Ferruccio’s approach was always daring, fueled by the belief that the unexpected could be achieved by always striving to be better. His entrepreneurial and pioneering spirit is core to the brand DNA today,” the company shared.

To note, AHF has honored 757 awardees from around the world who have made an impact in the automotive and mobility industries.

Among those that were inducted in the AHF are Toyota Founder Kiichiro Toyoda and Hyundai Motor Group Honorary Chair Mong-Koo Chung.
