Lamborghini - lamborghini 400GT
The Lamborghini 400GT was the evolution of the 350 model, introduced in 1966, starting off much as the earlier machine but with the engine capacity now increaed to 4 litres (3929cc). Then the 400GT2+2 was a reworking of this car, with Carrozzeria Touring altering the bodywork to allow 2 people to sit in the back, yet at the same time keeping the wheelbase the same. Production of the Lamborghini 400GT and 400GT2+2 continued to 1968.
Tyre size for the Lamborghini 400GT and 400GT 2+2 was originally 205R15, but the 215/70R15 size (as used later on many Lamborghinis) is a better handling tyre that fits nicely in the wheel arches, and what most prople would fit when they were available. Blockley produces an excellent period correct tread, high speed rated 215/70VR15 - see full details below:
