The first production Lamborghini is the 350GT (right). Like the Miura, it featured a V12 engine, but the styling is probably better appreciated today than at its inception in 1964. 120 350GTs were produced, with a retail price of $13,900 USD. The engine was a 3.5 liter, and was later produced in 4.0 liter form as the 400GT. A 2+2 version (the 400GT 2+2) was made from 1966 to 1968. Although not spectacular, the 350GT did serve to introduce the world to the V12 engine designed by Giotto Bizzarini.

Because the big Lambo was not designed for roofless from the beginning, Lamborghini did quite a lot of modification to the chassis and body structure. To compensate the loss of roof, there are some chassis reinforcements, most notably is a steel (or optional carbon fiber) engine cage bolted over the V12. It strengthens the connection between firewall and the rear engine / suspension-mounting frame. Behind the occupants are a pair of pop-up rollover bar, adapted from Audi A4 Cabriolet. For better integration of rollover mechanism, the engine cover has been converted to rear-hinged, just like the classic Muria.

Powerful, tough, responsive: Lamborghini tractors perfectly embody the idea of dynamic farming, the pursuit of excellence, the readiness to take on the challenge of even greater productivity. Dedicated to those who look ahead, the Lamborghini range complements its prestigious motorcar tradition with tractors that maximise the performance of their gutsy, specifically designed engines.

The Lamborghini 350GTV prototype was introduced at the 1963 Turin Auto Show. Lamborghini commissioned Carrozzeria Touring to design a more practical model. This was put into production as the 350GT. Sales of the 350GT totaled 130.

Beloved by enthusiasts everywhere, Lamborghini cars are built for speed and to look the part. Extreme style and extreme performance are the chief characteristics of Ferrari's national rival. Unless your zip code is 90210, you're not likely to see a scissor-doored Lamborghini ahead of you in the Starbucks drive-thru or parked next to you at the mall; these are exclusive automobiles designed to cater to a small, very specialized audience.

The chassis made its first public appearance at the Turin show in 1965, where pundits queued up to opine that Lamborghini would never put it into production. They were wrong. Barely four months later, in the Spring of 1966, Sant’Agata unveiled a production-ready version which now had an eye-catching body designed by Bertone’s new styling chief, Marcello Gandini. It had ... acquired a name, Miura, after the famous Spanish breeder of fighting bulls, Don Antonio Miura. And it stole the show.
