Lamborghini Espada Prototype (1967) Editorial Image

This prototype is the intermediate step from the Marzal and the Espada. Using gull-wing doors like on the Marzal, this car looked very futuristic and because the doors werw so big, entry to the rear seats was very easy. Bertone complied with Ferruccios demands and the Espada was created, a very good looking slow slung car that really holds four people in all comforts and at very high speeds thanks to the fabulous four-Liter V12 mounted up front driving the rear wheels. The Espada became one of Automobili Lamborghini SpA most successful car, selling over 1200 units.
