Introduced at the 1968 Geneva Salon, the Lamborghini Espada was a true four-seater supercar.
Styled by Marcello Gandini of Bertone, it was visually indebted to the carozzeria's previous 'Marzal' and 'Pirana' show cars.
A low-slung menacing 'wedge' (actually no longer than a contemporary Ford Mustang), its Giampaolo Dallara honed pressed-steel platform chassis featured all-round coil-and-wishbone suspension, Koni dampers, disc brakes and anti-roll bars.
Although, the 'quad-cam' Bizzarini 3,929cc V12 was front-mounted and mated to a five-speed manual gearbox, the Espada enjoyed near ideal front-to-rear weight distribution (52:48).
The world's fastest four-seater at some 155mph, it was praised for its handling and ride quality.
Debuting at the 1972 Turin Motor Show, the Series III came with power steering and air-conditioning as standard.
Boasting 365bhp and 290lbft of torque, it also carried a revised interior, re-jigged rear suspension and uprated brakes.
