Years of manufacture1976 - 1979


In principle, the car is built only 2 years, and then only 51 pieces. It will not pay even a factory for super sports cars. For Lamborghini it is once again badly. It is sometimes less a loss to buy noble sports car as such to build. It is still so bad for the company that not even money is available for the introduction/acceptance of their products in the U.S.. A disaster, because there are long traditionally the largest sales. Five long years, this remain.

First open Lamborghini (officially)


The silhouette is actually an open Urraco with a modified rear and interior. The rear seats have been eliminated and accommodate now the not very light fixed roof. The car is a little heavier by reinforcements, but with slightly more performance equal the Urraco. Note the large difference between front and rear tyre width, which can not clearly be declared with a weight distribution of 45 to 55%. The 4 steering wheel rotations from lock to lock surprise for a sports car. Surprising also the factory specifications for top speed. It is to be fast 260 km/h. His successor Jalpa is specified with less than 240 km/h with similar front design and engine.
