Ferruccio Lamborghini died in Perugia, Italy, in February 1993. On what could have been his 100th birthday in 2016, Lamborghini debuted the Centenario supercar, the modern-day automaker’s gift to its passionate founder. However, more fascinating is the collection of five tractors made by artist Adler Capelli, each paying tribute to the 100th birthday of Ferruccio Lamborghini.
One of those made the internet rounds and is now on sale at Classic Driver, and you’ll need deep pockets (and a patient wife or girlfriend) to add it to your quirky auto collection. With prices rumored to start around 480,000 Swiss Franc — or upwards of $540,000 — the Lamborghini Centenario Trattori is a mishmash of parts from iconic 1960s cars, which makes it unlike any Lamborghini tractor.
The details are scarce, but the Centenario Trattori has a 2.2-liter three-cylinder diesel engine, a manual transmission, a raw patina metal body, six side-exit exhaust pipes, vintage wheels, and a cyberpunk vibe.
It looks ready to till the land, but its rarity and hefty price tag make it more at home in a climate-controlled, velvet-gloved garage. We couldn’t think of a more alluring birthday gift that exemplifies Ferruccio Lamborghini’s brilliant work ethic.
