Name originATS stands for Automobili Turismo e Sport, Italian for "Touring and Sport Automobiles." The initials describe the two kinds of cars the company set out to build, a road-going grand tourer and a racing car.The company carries the surname of its founder, Ferruccio Lamborghini, an Italian industrialist who made tractors before he built sports cars. The bull in the badge is a second layer of naming, because most Lamborghini model names also come from the world of Spanish bullfighting.
