Why it matters
The factory describes the 350 GT as the first Lamborghini car built in series production. Carrozzeria Touring also made two open Spyder versions, the 350 GTS, so the early road-car line starts here.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.
Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.

History
The 350 GT was a more balanced evolution of the 350 GTV prototype, which Franco Scaglione had conceived. Carrozzeria Touring built the bodies, 120 units according to the factory, and it also made the 350 GTS Spyder.
Engine testing began at Sant'Agata Bolognese in autumn 1963. A factory test record shows the L350 motor first mounted on the test bank on 28 September 1963 and started with the key on 30 September.
The origin of the V12 is disputed. L.J.K. Setright suggested Honda designed it, but Giotto Bizzarrini said he drew a 1.5-litre V12 and was then told to build a 3.5-litre engine. Pete Lyons found no compelling evidence for the Honda claim.
