Lamborghini 400 GT

Description

The production of the Lamborghini 400 GT started in 1966 with the 4-liter 12-cylinder engine, which was already widely used in the last 23 models of the 350 GT.
Compared to the previous model, the 400 GT was redesigned and made more spacious, resulting in the first true 2+2 model from Lamborghini.

Its production ended after 225 models, the last 70 of which were launched in 1969 with the all-new Islero S model which benefited from some modifications of the central body and luxurious interiors.

The interior of the previous 350 GT was reworked at the level of the roof, giving more space to accommodate two rear passengers on a small bench, despite the presence of the transmission tunnel, and the V12 had gained not only about 500 cm°, but above all 40 hp and an appreciable increase in torque at a lower rpm. In addition, Lamborghini improved and made its transmission more reliable by fitting a five-speed manual gearbox and an "in-house" differential designed by Dallara.
Externally, the most noticeable change is the dual headlamps, whose improved light output is better suited to an extremely fast car. An anti-glare visor tops the main instruments, making them more readable. The bodywork, originally designed by Franco Scaglione and improved by Touring for the production 350, is still produced in Milan using the Superleggera process and the level of finish and comfort is higher than that of the 350 GT.
