Easy SZ. I've always found the front ends of these early Lambos (350GT and 400GT) to be a little awkward, but that does not detract from their awesomeness. Maybe it even adds to it? Something about Italian designs that aren't quite beautiful but are still striking does something for me, see the Espada, Jarama, and lots of those '70s-'90s Maseratis we've been polling in here recently.

Before many of their bonkers cars, Lamborghini made cars like these. This car doesn't get "Sub-Zero," but it gets a very strong Cool from me.

If only they'd spent a little more time integrating those lights into the design. Not quite a SZ but it's mostly gorgeous, Italian with a V12, so cool it is.

What an absolutely gorgeous vehicle. These are probably the most underrated Lamborghinis. They are overseen my the over designed supercars they make today and the famous Miura which succeeds this. But these cars just have class. This was the car that was made to compete with Ferrari’s like the 275 and the 250 SWB on the street. Not many would think it’s a Lamborghini at first glance and that’s a good thing. SZ.

I'll give it a cool. Being old is not enough for me to simply give cars an SZ status. This particular Lamborghini wasn't especially legendary or anything compared to other cars of the time, but it's nice enough and looks very good. If it drove by though, people would think it's an old Ferrari.
