Lamborghini - Lamborghini Espada
The Lamborghini Espada was the four seater GT car, built over a decade long 1968 through 1978. The Espada was the replacement for the earlier 400GT 2+2, using the same engine and suspension, but using a new chassis design. There were 3 series of the Espada, which was first series (1968 to 1970) , second series (1970 to 1972) and third series (1972 to 1978). Differences were minimal, apart from changes to dashboard and other minor details, and a power increase in 1970 from 325hp to 350hp by a rise in compression. By 1975 the third series cars got some larger front bumpers to meet US regulations. The Espada name carried on the Lamborghini Bull theme, being the name of the sword with which the bull gets dispatched.
