In 1968 Lamborghini presented an evolution of their very first sports car, which debuted in 1963 as 350 GT and evolves into the 400 GT 2+2 in 1966. For the first time in the still young history of the Italian brand, they named a new model with the name of a famous fighting bull and therefore indirectly used the star sign of company founder Ferruccio Lamborghini. The 2+2 seater with a new bodywork but a known chassis now heard on the name ‘Islero’ (in the brochures often written as ‘Jslero’). Islero was a bull who fatally injured the famous bullfighter Manolete in 1947.

Mario Marazzi from company Carrozzeria Marazzi was responsible for the significantly more angular appearance compared to the 400 GT. He disguised the revised chassis with a slightly wider track and wider wheels cleverly under a time-typical design. At the front, folding headlights ensure a flat silhouette during the day and enough light at night. The long bonnet is followed by a compactly cut and angular shaped passenger compartment and a trunk attached as a small notchback. At the rear below the narrow bumper corners sit the rectangular taillights, between which the licenseplate can be inserted.<\/p>\n\n\n
