Lamborghini

350 GT, 400 GT

1964-1968

The Lamborghini 350 GT debuted at the March 1964 Geneva Motor Show and production began two months later. It was the first production vehicle by Lamborghini and the success of this model ensured the company's survival, establishing it as a viable competitor with rival manufacturer Ferrari. The 350 GT was equipped with a 3,464 cc V12 engine and a two-door coupé body by Carrozzeria Touring. Lamborghini produced 120 units before replacing it with the 400 GT in 1966. Many 350 GTs were subsequently fitted with the larger 3,929 cc engine used in the 400 GT, in order to take advantage of the later engine's greater power and better replacement parts availability.

 

The first 400 GT, commonly referred to as simply the 400 GT or 400 GT Interim, was essentially the older 350 GT featuring the enlarged, 3,929 cc V12 engine. The second 400 GT, commonly known as the 400 GT 2+2, was first presented at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show. The steel-bodied 2+2 has a different roofline with larger side windows and a smaller rear windshield and subtle but thorough sheetmetal changes compared to the 350 GT and first 400 GT. The floorpan is slightly lower while the beltline is actually 66 mm taller. The larger body shape enabled the +2 seating to be installed in the rear, where the 350 GT only had room for luggage or the rarely selected option of +1 seating. A total of 23 units of the 400 GT Interim and 224 units of the 400 GT 2+2 were built from 1966 to 1968, when it was replaced with the Islero.
