Lamborghini Portofino

The Lamborghini Portofino is a concept car developed for Lamborghini by Kevin Verduyn, one of Chrysler's chief designers, and introduced at the 1987 Frankfurt Auto Show as a fully functional four-door, four-seat sport sedan. Verduyn had designed it in 1986 for Chrysler as the Navajo, which never went beyond a clay model, and when Chrysler acquired Lamborghini in 1987 the design was revived with minor changes. Coggiola of Turin built it on a lengthened Jalpa chassis, with the Jalpa 3.5 litre V8 and five-speed gearbox in a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, and it had scissor doors on all four sides. It was a one-of-a-kind car whose design later influenced Chrysler's cab-forward cars.
