Lamborghini does not build many cars like the Lamborghini Athon with 3.0 L V8 engine, built from 1980 in the age of turbocharging and the first electronic engine management. Its designer of record is Marc Deschamps at Bertone.
The engineering
Under the skin sits 3.0 L V8 engine. The gearbox is a 5-speed manual. The layout matters: the engine sits behind the driver and ahead of the rear axle, which puts the mass in the middle of the car and is why mid-engined cars change direction the way they do. The wheelbase is 96.6 in (2,455 mm). These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Audi Quattro, the Dodge Ram, the Lancia Delta. Its Lamborghini stablemates include the Lamborghini Calà and the Lamborghini Marco Polo.
The money
There is no federal ownership record for the Lamborghini Athon — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
