CLASSIC CARS.
Presented at the 1968 Geneva Motor Show, the Lamborghini Islero GT was a classic 2+2 three-box coupé with taut, clean lines, based on the mechanicals of the 400 GT, without any major modifications.
Its extreme stylistic simplicity and the simultaneous presence on the Lamborghini stand of the much more personal Espada, contributed to the Lamborghini Islero going almost unnoticed, and it did not arouse much enthusiasm.
The new 'bull' coupé was nevertheless comfortable, quiet and brilliant (thanks to 320 hp from the 4-litre V12), so much so that Ferruccio Lamborghini chose it as his personal car.
The Lamborghini Islero GT was born in the early 1960s as the heir to the famous Lamborghini 350 GT. With its imposing design and sinuous lines, the details in its construction make this bolide one of the most sought-after models among car enthusiasts.
The design of the Lamborghini Islero was handled by the Bertone brothers, who created a car with personality. The lines are bold and sinuous, the front imposing and the interior refined and technological. Designed in the golden age of Italian design, the Islero GT exalts the essence of Italian creativity.
The Lamborghini Islero GT follows in the construction tradition of the 'House of the Bull' with powerful and innovative mechanics. The 4-litre, 300 hp V12 engine, mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, gives the car incredible thrust, reaching 100 km/h in just 6 seconds. Top speed is 260 km/h.
The interior of the Lamborghini Islero is impeccably designed, with a mix of fine materials. The cabin is spacious and comfortable, with adjustable cushions to create the most suitable driving position for all drivers. The dashboard is high-tech and complete with all the essential controls to manage the car easily and precisely.
The Lamborghini Islero GT was a motor racing star in the 1960s and 1970s. Thanks to its speed, it achieved important victories in numerous championships, being appreciated not only for its elegant design, but also for its performance on the track.
The rarity of the Lamborghini Islero GT makes it a true gem for classic car enthusiasts. Today, an Islero GT can cost as much as one million euros, but its value is set to grow over time. Anyone who decides to buy an Islero GT has the opportunity to make a safe investment, a piece of motoring history that will never go out of fashion.
