The older I get the more I appreciate the car designs of this era….. there was something very special about that time period.

Always thought this was a beautifully styled car, looks gorgeous from every angle

One of the most beautiful Lamborghinis.

Je ne connaitrais pas cette Lamborghini si des émissions de télévision comme Top Gear ou Wheeler Dealers n'en avait pas parlé.

The Urraco looks dainty, a real ballerina. In comparison, the 308 GT4 looks muscular, a bit chunky. Sad that the Urraco didn’t make it, it deserved better. Maybe Bob Wallace didn’t have time to develop it and fine-tune it sufficiently ? Whatever, great looking car.

Without a doubt a gorgeous car. Love the engine sound! I agree the styling is so well done even the interior looks great. Thanks for the review Jack, well done. 👍👍

The first time I saw a Porsche Cayman on the highway I said "Oh my God what is that? I have to have one!" And I eventually did get one. It's a good thing I've never heard a Urraco in person.

That's one angry V8 engine... I love it.😍
I also love that ribbed roof-liner.

Marcelo Gandini designed some of the most beautiful cars, I mean come on…Miura, Espada, Diablo, urraco, Kamshin, Montreal….all gorgeous works of art

Its best feature?  It doesn't look like a squashed VW Beetle.

Hello Jack

Firstly i will say i have been watching your channel since the first 308 fun and games, and have enjoyed all your youtube feeds. We have a very similar taste in cars.

I have never commented on your channel before but as a serial Urraco P250 and P300 owner i must say;

All production gearboxes are doglegs, and much better / enjoyable than my 308 / 348 Ferraris. It is the most enjoyable gearbox and rarely baulks into 2nd gear, so suggest your test car is not sorted.

I am the same height as you, and apart from the twisted driving position never had a problem, with decent driving shoes.

The steering is the best on any car ever, end of.

Yes they understeer when pushed, but as you say they are better as grand tourers, i took my P300 around Europe and it is best as a fast cruiser rather than a point to point sportscar.

The P300 is supposed to be much faster and i suppose it is, but the P250 is such a great revvy engine i actually enjoyed it more for local journeys. I dont know your test 250 but must be a rare RHD 250 and looks fantastic.

Am looking forward to your Pantera, my next car also !

I think one of the most elegant Lamborghinis. Just lovely.

What an addictive exhaust note!! ❤

FYI, all 21 US spec Urraco Tipo 111 cars are 2.5L.  I owned one for 33 years and it was a wonderful  car.

Have a few old copies of CAR magasine from this era which I've kept through many moves simply because of this car being featured. Articles range from the Urraco prototype(!) up to the Jalpa in the model line up. I'll probably never be fortunate enough to ride in one of these let alone drive one but the weight of opinion in them all seems to be that the Urraco was the nicest (and safest!) of the three cars mentioned (Lambo, Ferrari and Porsche) when you wanted to hustle on drivers roads.
The Porsche 911 of the time was notorious for that rear weight bias suddenly taking control leaving little room (or options) for manoeuvre.
The Ferrari had a reputation for being on your side right up to where it (suddenly) wasn't and and a real handful to recover once that backend (finally) did step out.
The consensus at CAR seemed to be that the Urraco had the overall best "manners" and could be relied upon not to frighten the driver.... :)

As I noticed in one of Iain Tyrrell's videos - a clue to the car's intended production volume was the attention paid to serviceability, notably the ease with which the engine / transmission subframe can be removed - quite a contrast to the difficulty of threading the engine & transmission in & out of a Miura or Countach.

Great vid!!  Lovely example of this very beautiful Urraco.
    This baby lambo just needs a proper tune on the engine and some adjustment on the throttle linkage/cables/spring.
That interior is sublime...

US versions were the 2.5L but down to 175 hp from smog controls. The Road & Track test in Sept 1975 lists it as 2463 cc. The cite Lambo US as saying the test car was one of the first 40 with US emissions tacked on instead of a proper reworking. A retest was promised when it was available. My hunch would be never, given Lambo's problems at the time. The original test can be found at a clean link to merakgroup by searching for the Road & Track Sept 1975.

2.0 L was Italy only for tax reasons, and very close to the stated US 2.5L output.

The 308 GT4 roof line is reminiscent of the lancia stratos line.

I don't care whether it's fast or how it drives - it's the perfect Bertone design and sounds glorious.
