Lamborghini 400 GT

The Lamborghini 400 GT, was essentially the older 350 GT featuring an enlarged, 3,929 cc V12 engine, with a power output of 320 bhp (239 kW). Twenty-three of these cars were built, with three featuring aluminium bodywork.

Vehicle Overview

The Lamborghini 400 GT, a remarkable evolution of the earlier 350 GT, emerged as a testament to Lamborghini’s commitment to continuous improvement and performance excellence. Introduced in 1966, the 400 GT retained the essence of its predecessor while incorporating significant enhancements, most notably in the form of a larger, 3,929 cc V12 engine. At the heart of the Lamborghini 400 GT was the potent 3.9-liter V12 powerplant, a marvel of engineering that produced a formidable 320 bhp (239 kW). This increase in power, coupled with a lower engine speed of 500 rpm, delivered a driving experience that was both exhilarating and refined. The Lamborghini 400 GT not only upheld the brand’s reputation for performance but also demonstrated a keen focus on pushing boundaries in pursuit of automotive perfection. A limited production run saw the creation of only 23 Lamborghini 400 GTs, further elevating the model’s exclusivity and desirability among enthusiasts. Notably, three of these rare specimens featured aluminium bodywork crafted by the renowned coachbuilder Touring Superleggera. This collaboration resulted in a unique aesthetic and performance profile, emphasizing the bespoke nature of these exceptional vehicles. The aluminium-bodied 400 GTs showcased the fusion of Lamborghini’s engineering prowess and Touring Superleggera’s artisanal craftsmanship. The lightweight yet sturdy aluminium construction not only enhanced the car’s performance but also contributed to its distinct visual appeal. These exclusive variants stood as a testament to the bespoke possibilities that Lamborghini offered to its discerning clientele. In conclusion, the Lamborghini 400 GT, with its enlarged V12 engine and limited production, stands as a pinnacle of automotive refinement and sophistication. The collaboration with Touring Superleggera, particularly in the creation of aluminium-bodied variants, added a layer of exclusivity, making each 400 GT a rare and coveted masterpiece in the storied lineage of Lamborghini’s iconic grand tourers. Several coachbuilt special versions were built including the 400 GT Monza and the 400 GT Flying Star II.
