1969 LAMBORGHINI ISLERO S 400 GTS
Serial number 6450 Motor number 50147 Production number 25147 In the same hands for nearly twenty years Body and mechanical restoration between 2002 and 2006 French car registration document The Lamborghini Islero was born from the pencil of Ferruccio Lamborghini himself, to replace the elegant Lamborghini 400 GT. The bodywork designed by Mario Marazzi is extremely sober, with taut but sensual lines and a stocky silhouette that gives it a certain bestiality.

The powertrain thus allowed four occupants to travel at almost 265 km/h in comfort, mixed with leather, wood and velvet. Pleasant to drive, the Islero remains one of the few Sant'Agata bulls to offer accessible handling, at least for a V12-powered GT at the front at the time. The Islero was thus an excellent car halfway between a pure sports car and a GT, which is probably why Paul Rilly and Roger Levève chose one to participate in the 1975 Le Mans 24 Hours, an adventure that ended in qualifying after an accident. This Lamborghini Islero S was produced in May 1969 and delive
