Lamborghini Espada, four-seat car from the 60s - Sports cars
One of the Lamborghini "GT" for four passengers, the second manufactured by Sant'Agata.
Few people know, but the first car ever produced Lamborghini it was convenience Quattro GT from post, rather 2 + 2 be picky. It was the Lamborghini 350 GT, a car with elegant, clean, thin lines. I dare say he looks like a little Lamborghini.
In 1968 year 350 GT (The 400 GT in its latest evolution) has been replaced by a decidedly more extroverted and exotic vehicle: the Lamborghini Espada.
A four-seater sports car with a split rear window, a slightly muscular line and proportions that I would describe as odd, or at least risky.
He certainly cannot be called beautiful, but he has charm for sale... At the time, it boasted incredible luxuries such as standard air conditioning and an entire leather interior.
Lambo's heart, the comfort of Roll's Royce
Under the hood Lamborghini Espada we find one 12-liter V4,0 with 325 hp, then became 350 after restyling in 1971. This second Espada series has been redesigned mainly in the interior. A gearbox was also introduced in the third series in 1974. 3-speed automatic (in addition to 5 manual reports).
In the face 1408 kg on the scales, of course, he was not easy - at least for that time - but still he was able to achieve 250 km / h maximum speed.
There was also a "VIP" version, equipped with a minibar and a TV set between the front seats, which is incredible. In fact, when production ended in 1978, no Lamborghini replaced it. From now on House of Sant'Agata Bolognese focused on two-seater extreme sports: shortly after Countach.
However, the Espada was a great success for Lamborghini and sold more than 1300 copies.
