Why it matters
The GTV was a one-off prototype shown at the 1963 Turin show. Its styling is credited to Franco Scaglione, and it was the design basis for Lamborghini's first production car, the 350 GT.

History
The 350 GTV was the first Gran Turismo with the Lamborghini bull emblem, designed and built at the tractor factory in Cento before the Sant'Agata works were finished. Giotto Bizzarrini's V12 first ran on 15 May 1963 and gave 350 DIN hp (374 SAE) at 8,000 rpm on the dynamometer; it was later detuned to 270 bhp at 6,500 rpm for the 350 GT production car.
The square steel-tube chassis was welded by Neri & Bonacini of Modena, the gearbox was a ZF unit, and the body was designed by Franco Scaglione.
