Lamborghini Urraco: P200, P250 and P300 versions
The Lamborghini Urraco is a 2+2 coupe from the 1970s with a mid-rear V8 engine, designed for a smaller clientele than the Miura. We're looking at the P200, P250 and P300 versions, their engines, and what to check when evaluating such a rare collectible car.
Urraco in brief
The Urraco was introduced in 1970 and began production in 1972. It was a smaller, more affordable Lamborghini aimed at competing with the Ferrari Dino and Porsche 911. The body was designed by Marcello Gandini of Bertone.
The car features two main front seats and two small rear ones, with a V8 engine mounted behind the driver but transversely. Today, the Urraco is considered a rare and intriguing collectible model, with around 800 units produced in total.
Versions and differences
The first version was the P250 (2.5-litre V8), followed by the P300 (3.0-litre V8) and the P200 (2.0-litre V8) for tax reasons in Italy. The main differences between the versions lie in the engine capacity and power.
Externally, all versions look similar, but later models have some equipment and body detail changes. The choice largely comes down to engine size, condition, and provenance documents.
Engines and gearbox
The Urraco has V8 petrol engines: the P200 with a 2.0-litre, the P250 with a 2.5-litre, and the P300 with a 3.0-litre unit. Power ranges from around 180 to over 250 bhp, depending on the version; check specific car documents for exact figures.
The gearbox is a 5-speed manual. Drive is to the rear wheels; the engine is mounted transversely, behind the seats.
What to check when evaluating an Urraco
The most important thing is authenticity and documentation: body, engine, and chassis numbers, history, and restoration work. Due to its rarity, the price heavily depends on originality, so the inspection should be carried out by a Lamborghini classic specialist.
Inspect the body for rust, the engine (distribution mechanism condition), electrical equipment, and suspension. Some parts are hard to find or made to order.
