The Lamborghini Urraco is a sports car manufactured by Italian automaker Lamborghini in the 1970s. It was introduced at the Turin auto show in 1970 but wasn't available to buyers until 1973. It was named after a breed of bulls. When production ended in 1979, 791 Urracos had been built.

The car is a 2+2 coupé with body designed by Marcello Gandini, at the time working for Carrozzeria Bertone. Rather than being another supercar, like the Lamborghini Miura, the Urraco was more affordable, an alternative to the contemporary Ferrari Dino and Maserati Merak.

Both the Lamborghini Silhouette, with its detachable roof panel, and its successor Lamborghini Jalpa, with a 3.5 litre V-8 engine, were based upon the Urraco.

Yes, nice Lambo and I was too late to suggest it, nevermind enough cars in the pipeline.
Good finding.
👍

Cheers Starlight but it's a car I genuinely like, not just because it's a Lamborghini but mainly I like it because it's a 2 + 2 mid engine car, like the current Lotus Evora (don't think the description is very clear about that)

Yes, it's 2 + 2 ... we can see that clearly in the last picture.
It's really a nice Lamborghini.

It's more it being 2 + 2 and being mid engined, I can only think of the Ferrari 308GT4 (& later Mondial which was based on it); as well as the Lotus Evora, as other examples
