1966 Lamborghini 400 GT Interim Coupe

Ferruccio Lamborghini showed the one-off, Touring styled Lamborghini 350 GTV at the Turin Motor Show in November of 1963 and followed this with the first production 3.5-liter 350GT Superleggera that appeared at the Geneva show in March of 1964. Two years later, the car evolved into the 4 litre 400 GT 2+2 which was slightly heavier with vestigial rear seating and subtle styling alterations.

This example is in fact one of 23 interim models built by Lamborghini, being essentially a 350GT with the 400 engine and is therefore the most powerful of these early Lamborghinis. It has not had an easy life. It was discovered, derelict and rusting in Europe and was brought to the United States for a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration which lasted over 3 years.
