1:18 Lamborghini Espada (MiniChamps)

[Khanrocks]

The Lamborghini Espada is a grand tourer which was built by Italian car manufacturer Lamborghini between 1968 and 1978.
Based on the Marzal show car, displayed at the 1967 Geneva Auto Show, and the Bertone Pirana, a radically rebodied Jaguar E-type, it was to fill the spot of a true four seat car in Lamborghini's lineup, which already included the 400GT and Miura. 1217 cars were made, making it the most successful Lamborghini model at the time.
The car was designed by Marcello Gandini of Bertone. The name "Espada" means "sword" in Spanish, referring to the sword that bullfighters use to kill the bulls.
The Espada was originally fitted with a 4.0 L 325 bhp (242 kW) V12 engine, fully independent suspension and four wheel disc brakes. Most transmissions were manual, and the Espada also introduced one of the first automatic transmissions able to absorb the torque of a large sporting V12. It had unusual gearing, with 3 ratios: drive, 1 and reverse.

Great model of an unusual car. BTW, are you sure this is a Minichamps or is it an Autoart?

Wow, its always nice to see something new. Very unique, very classic. The profile of this car resembles a DeLorean.
And you know the lighting in the pics are complementing the car a lot, it has a retro feel, I dunno if it was planned or not but the pics are looking like they were shot somewhere in the 60's/70's only.
