Lamborghini 350 GT: the first series Lamborghini
Lamborghini 350 GT — the first series Lamborghini, introduced in 1964. It's a collectible grand tourer with a V12 engine, with only around a hundred and twenty examples produced, making it a rare find today.
350 GT in brief
The 350 GT was Lamborghini's first series production car and a response to the GT class leaders of its time. Its body was designed by the 'Touring' studio, and under the hood sat the brand's first V12 engine.
The car was produced from 1964 to 1966, with only around 120 units made, making it a highly valuable collectible model that you'll mostly see at auctions and in museums.
Which version to choose
The 350 GT was produced in one main version, so when choosing, the key factors are the specific car's history and condition. Each car is almost unique.
The subsequent model, the 400 GT, already had a larger engine and a different body design. Therefore, the 350 GT is bought primarily for its historical significance as the first series.
Engine and transmission
The 350 GT's engine is a 3.5-litre V12, specifically designed for this car. It delivers around 280 hp and was considered highly advanced for its time.
The transmission is a manual, 5-speed. The car features rear-wheel drive and the classic GT character — fast, comfortable, and elegant.
What to check when buying a 350 GT
Insist on a comprehensive vehicle history: documents, restoration reports, and proof that the engine, body, and other major components are original. Due to low production numbers and high value, the risk of encountering a cut-and-shut is real.
Inspect the body structure for corrosion and previous repairs, as well as the V12 engine and gearbox. Parts availability is extremely limited, making repairs costly and time-consuming.
Due to the high price, it's essential to enlist an independent specialist familiar with classic Lamborghinis when buying.
