Lamborghini 350 GTV was the first prototype unveiled by Lamborghini in 1963. It previewed the first production model: the 350 GT.
It was unveiled at the 1963 Turin Auto Show and if we consider that Lamborghini was a tractor manufacturer since that moment we can imagine that the 350 GTV stirred much attention.
The interior was leather while the finish was a bright metallic blue color. The engine was not installed in the car because it would not fit. The vertical carburetors were too large and did not fit under the hood. Only recently has the vehicle been restored and the chassis was altered to allow room for the engine.
It was powered by a V12 engine that delivers 360 hp at 8000 rpm and a peak torque of 240 lbs-ft at 6000 rpm. The top speed was an impressiv 174 mph.
