Lamborghini is getting ready for a major expansion of its product range as the Italian supercar maker draws even closer to German parent Audi. As early as next year, the Italians plan to introduce an all-new Miura, Lamborghini’s answer to the Ferrari Enzo. It will be derived mechanically from the midengine Audi Le Mans.
The 1967 Lamborghini Espada S1 gained lots of attention. There were many changes that would have to be made first to make the car more practical and pleasant to live with.
The first of these changes was moving the engine to the front which enabled the use of Lamborghini’s V12 and transmission from previous front engined cars. The first attempt at redesign by Gandini is in my opinion one of the ugliest of his career mostly due to the side window treatment. The basic shape of the Espada was visible and eventually gave way to its present and proper form.
