Ferruccio Lamborghini had built a significant amount of wealth as a tractor builder. Upon returning the vehicle to the Ferrari shop and complaining about the lack of build quality, Enzo Ferrari replied ‘You should stick with building tractors and let me concern about the cars.’ Along with the redesign, the engine was detuned because Ferruccio Lamborghini desired a smooth running, refined engine rather than a highly-tuned racing power-plant.


In 1964 Ferruccio Lamborghini debuted the production version, the 350 GT, the V had been dropped, to the public at the Geneva Auto Show. The car was powered by a Giotto Bizzarini designed 12-cylinder engine, sat atop a tubular steel chassis, and featured independent suspension and a ZF gearbox. In 1966 the four-liter engine was available in the front-engined Lamborghini as optional equipment. This version became known as the 400 GT. The design of the 2+2 varied slightly from the 400 GT. The 2+2 was constructed of steel while the 400 GT used aluminum.

In 1966 a Lamborghini 400 GT Monza prototype was created that carried the mechanical components of Lamborghini with styling reminiscent of Ferrari’s legendary 250 GTO series. Around 120 examples were created in total and all were mostly hand-built. Since these were mostly hand-built, specifications and designs may vary.

The 350/400 GT Series represent Lamborghini’s intention to construct the finest Grand Touring autombiles ever assembled. The car’s body was designed by Franco Scaglione and was manufactured by Sargiotto Bodyworks of Turin. The prototype featured a bright metallic blue finish and was exhibited at the 1963 edition of the Turin Auto Show.
