1964 Lamborghini 350 GT Coupe

This 1964 Lamborghini 350GT Touring Production Prototype is one of the production prototypes with many unique features and is the earliest 350GT extant. The model designation comes from its 3.5-liter, 280 horsepower V12 engine, which is backed by a five-speed transmission. The coachwork was created by one of Italy's most respected firms, Carrozzeria Touring. 'Ferruccio Lamborghini made it very clear he wanted to have a real car very quickly,' said Carlo Felice Bianchi Anderloni, then the design chief at Touring. 'We thus decided to use the 350GTV as the starting point for our design.' The result was nothing short of stunning: 'It's a smooth challenger to Ferrari's title of king of the GT cars,' was Car & Driver's succinct summation.

Lamborghini produced only 13 cars in 1964 and a total of 120 350 GT coupes were produced, through 1967, including the 23 examples that were given the larger 3.9-liter engine.
