1972 Lamborghini Espada Coupe

Bertone's Marcello Gandini was tasked by Ferruccio Lamborghini with designing and building a Gran Turismo 2+2 based on both the Marzal and the Pirana Lamborghini show cars. The finished car, named Espada, was introduced in 1968 and continued in production for ten years with three series produced. Each new series featured engine power improvements and the interior was altered dramatically, but only a few minor exterior design details were changed. The Espada was sold alongside the 400 GT, the Islero and the Miura, but it was the most successful Lamborghini model at the time with over 1,200 built.
