The Lamborghini 400 GT built upon the platform introduced by the 350 GT, allowing Lamborghini engineers to make technical improvements while doubling sales for the brand. And, while engineers may love to get their best designs to the market from the outset, to keep a brand alive, sales of safe, reliable vehicles outweigh optimized performance.
So, with some sales under theirthe 400 GT replaced the 350 GT's 3.5L V12 engine with a 3.9L unit, increasing available power from 280bhp to 320bhp with a healthy increase in available engine torque across the power band. 40hp might seem like a small power increase to justify the development of a larger engine, but the thrust available to the driver at all engine speeds can be felt pretty easily with a 34 lb-ft increase in maximum torque.

We're probably not the best source to comment on the condition of such a rare early Lamborghini, so suffice to say, the condition appears to be great, and the numbers match. Get in touch with the seller and get down to brass tacks if you're interested in this example. Then get in touch with us if you buy it!
Regular readers probably know by now that we love a 2+2 GT, and the 400 GT is no exception. Our less-adventurous taste draws us to the subsequent Islero's design, but if we had the means to cross-shop the 400 GT and the Islero, we'd park the 400 GT in our garage.
