The
Lamborghini Espada was a genuine full four-seat supercar introduced
in 1968.
The styling of the Espada was carried out by the Italian styling
firm Bertone, and featured a distinctive side window line which
swept upward at the rear. Under the long, wide hood lay a 4.0
litre V12 which on the first cars put out 325 hp. In 1970 the
power was increased to 350 hp, and in 1972 365 hp.
Initially the Lamborghini Espada was offered solely with a 5-speed
manual gearbox, later a 3-speed automatic transmission was made
available.
While the styling of the Lamborghini Espada is not to everyones
taste, the fact it had four usable seats, a glorious V12 engine
and a Lamborghini badge made it one of Lamborghini's most popular
models. In total 1217 Espada's were manufactured before the
model was dropped in 1978.
