Built by Carrozzeria Touring as possible way to seal
the deal with Lamborghini to build the 400’s replacement, it made its debut in
1966 at the Turin Motor Show. Designed to be the ultimate way for 2 people to
travel in luxury with luggage, this Grand Tourer was certainly different.
The body
designed by Carlo Anderloni was on a 10cm shortened 400GT chassis, and unlike
most “concept” cars was fully functional being fitted with all round intendant
suspension and disc brakes as well as a V12. Unfortunately it didn’t help
Touring retain the Lamborghini contract and a year later the factory closed its
doors. The car went through various hands until fully restored it appeared at
the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este in 2013. You must admit it’s one striking
looking car with one purpose in mind, cross countries as speed like all good GT
cars should.

Oh man, I LOVE old Lamborghinis. Most people think of the newer ones when they hear the word Lamborghini and they pretty much have no idea that anything other than those newer versions exist at all.
