 |  |  | Coupe Designer: Marcello Gandini |
The Lamborghini P140 was a single-built prototype designed by Marcello Gandini, an employee of Bertone and a designer of the Lamborghini Uracco, Bravo, and many other Lamborghini models. Lamborghini was looking for a design that would replace the aging Urraco (meaning little bull) and Jalpa models. The goal was to produce a car that had competitive pricing and could be produced in higher quantities. The result was a design that resembled the Diablo, a design that Gandini had helped create. The engine used in this smaller version of the Diablo was a ten-cylinder power-plant in 'vee' configuration and produced 400 horsepower. The engine had been created in a mere ten months. A six-speed gearbox, independent suspension, carbon fiber body, and aluminum monocoque chassis composed the contents for this 2800 pound super car. Top speed was achieved at 186 mph and zero to sixty took only five seconds.
The P140 was later rebodied by Ital Design, dubbed 'Cala', and debuted to the public in 1995.
