1966 Lamborghini 400 GT 2+2 Coupe

Ferruccio Lamborghini was a hugely successful Italian tractor and air-conditioning manufacturer who decided to produce his own GT car in the early 1960s. He gave Ferrari serious competition with the introduction of the 350GT coupe in March of 1964, earning rave reviews for its V-12 performance and excellent handling courtesy of chief enigneer Giotto Bizzarrini. Two years later the car evolved into the 400GT 2+2 with the addition of vestigial rear seating and subtle styling alterations on the same 100.3-inch wheelbase. The V-12 was upsized from 3.5- to 4.0-liters and horsepower was increased from 280 to 320. The 400GT featured a Lamborghini-built 5-speed gearbox designed by Gian Paolo Dallara.

Though not yet a sales threat to Ferrari, notice had hereby been given that the upstarts from Sant'Agata meant business. Fewer than 400 were built through 1968. This car was originally owned by basketball legend Bill Russell.
