Lamborghini does not build many cars like the Lamborghini 400 GT: a 2-door coupé with 3929 cc Lamborghini V12, built from 1966 to 1968 in the decade that gave the world the pony car and the mid-engined supercar. Its designer of record is Carrozzeria Touring. Production ran to 247 cars.
Where it came from
The Lamborghini 400 GT is the name given to two grand tourers produced by Italian manufacturer Lamborghini between 1966 and 1968.
Under the skin
Under the skin sits 3929 cc Lamborghini V12. Kerb weight is 1472 kg. The gearbox is a 5-speed manual. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. The wheelbase is 2550 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
Where it sits in Lamborghini's history is not in doubt: the Lamborghini 350 GT came before it; the Lamborghini Islero / Lamborghini Espada (for 400 GT 2+2) followed it; it was built at Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Alfa Romeo Spider, the Toyota Corolla, the Dodge Charger. Nearby in the Lamborghini catalogue sit the Lamborghini Calà and the Lamborghini Marco Polo.
The money
MotorJury scores cars on the United States complaint and recall record, and the Lamborghini 400 GT has none: too old, too rare, or never sold there. Its value today is a collector's question, decided by provenance and condition rather than by a class average.
