Not exactly "from scratch".
Ferruccio already owned a successful tractor company. Due to his success, he was able to afford a Ferrari. The 250GT that he purchased had chronic clutch failures, and he complained to Enzo. Enzo said something arrogant (duh!) to Ferruccio, something along the lines of, "Go back to driving your tractors - it's obvious you cannot drive my cars."

Ferruccio fixed his 250GT by installing one of his tractor clutches, and also vowed to beat Ferrari at his own game. The Lamborghini 350GTV prototype was introduced in 1963, and went into production as the 350GT.
