The Lamborghini Espada was a GT (Grand Touring) car produced by the Italian car manufacturer Lamborghini between 1968 and 1978. It was a four-seat car with a V12 engine and a striking design, with an elongated nose and a large, one-piece rear window. The Espada was intended to be a more practical Lamborghini, suitable for long distance travel and daily use. It had a comfortable interior with leather seats and a large trunk. The first generation of the Espada, produced between 1968 and 1970, had a 4-liter V12 engine that produced around 325 horsepower. The later models had a larger 4.7-liter V12 engine or a 3.9-liter V12 engine. The car had a top speed of about 245 km/h and could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 7 seconds. The Lamborghini Espada's manual transmission was praised for its sporty and responsive character, which fit well with the car's character as a fast and sporty GT. Praised for its speed, comfort and unique design, the Lamborghini Espada became a symbol of Italian car design in the 60s and 70s. Today the car is a rare and popular collector's item. Only 1,224 were produced, with the manual version being the most popular. The cars on offer are part of a static collection that has been accumulated over the last 40 years. They are mainly in an unrestored, original but dusty condition. We have not tried to start any of the cars. We have been informed that the engines have been turned, on a regular basis, but the exact condition of the cars and the engines is unknown to us. You can inspect the cars on the viewing days for which you have to make a reservation through our ticketshop.
