The Lamborghini Silhouette was a two-door, two-seat, mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive sports car built in small numbers between 1976 and 1979. It began as a Bertone styling exercise on the Urraco and was shown at the 1976 Geneva show with more angular lines, and it was the first Lamborghini to use a targa top roof. A 3.0 litre all-aluminium V8 sat transversely behind the driver. Official figures gave a top speed of 260 km/h and 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds. Only 54 were made, 42 left-hand drive and 12 right-hand drive, and 31 are known to survive. It evolved into the more successful Jalpa.
