After Lamborghini built their first road car the 350 GT , they launched their first mid-engined supercar called the Miura that featured a new V12 engine. That V12 was then placed in the 350 GT which was then considered grounds for a name change, and so the 400 GT was born.
The original 400 GT was considered an interim model with only a handful of cars made. The version that made it into full production was the 400 GT 2+2, which was available as a four seater. It featured a different roofline due to the larger body shape, and used different sheet metal as a result. 224 units were made all up, and it was priced much cheaper than it’s Ferrari counterparts of the day despite it’s technical superiority.
