Lamborghini Urraco

The Lamborghini Urraco was a 2+2 sports car introduced at the Turin show in 1970 and sold for the 1972 to 1979 model years. Marcello Gandini of Bertone designed the coupe body, and the car was meant as a more affordable alternative to the Ferrari Dino, Maserati Merak and Porsche 911 rather than another flagship like the Miura. It used a transverse V8, a single-cam 2 litre in the P200 and twin-cam 2.5 and 3 litre units in the P250 and P300. In all 791 were built. The Silhouette and later Jalpa were developed from it, and its name comes from a line of Miura-bred fighting bulls.
