Lamborghini Islero 1968 posters


Lamborghini Islero

The Lamborghini Islero, pronounced "eez-LEHR-oh", was produced in the years between 1968 and 1970 and featured the Lamborghini V12 engine. Upon its debut at the Geneva Auto Show in 1968, it was marketed as the successor to the 400GT. It was named after the bull Manolete, after it infamously killed noted matador Manuel Rodriguez on August 28, 1947. Due to the bankruptcy of Carrozzeria Touring, the company that designed Lamborghini's chasis, Carrozzeria Marazzi was given the task of producing this line of luxury sportscar. Funded by Mario Marazzi, an old employee of Touring, the Islero was essentially a rebody of the 400GT but with a wider track to accommodate larger tires. Despite its eccentric panel fit, it was praised for its great visibility, roomy interior, and much improved soundproofing. Its engine offered a power of 325 HP, 4L V12, coupled with a 5-speed transmission and fully independent suspension, disc brakes. It could reach a maximum speed of 155 mph. Only 125 units of the Lamborghini Islero were created. In 1969, an improved model was presented at the Paris Auto Show, titled the Islero S. Although the engine was slightly tuned to produce 350 HP, its torque remained the same. The most notable alterations included styling changes such as brightwork on the front fenders, enlarged hood scoop, slight fender flares, tinted windows, round side marker lights instead of the usual tear drops, larger brake discs, redesigned rear suspension and restructured dashboard and interiors. This type boasted an impressive top speed of 161 mph. Unfortunately, only 100 examples of the Islero S were manufactured, bringing the entire Islero line to a total of 225 units. Of which, Ferruccio Lamborghini himself, had the pleasure of driving his own Islero as a daily car.
