Giotto Bizzarrini - Lamborghini Engine

Lamborghini Engine

Ferruccio Lamborghini commissioned Società Autostar to design an engine for his new GT cars. The engine was first shown in the Lamborghini 350GTV prototype in 1963 and was first manufactured for use in the 350GT in 1964. Variations of the basic design have been used in every V-12 Lamborghini until 2010. Originally displacing 3,464 cc (211 cu in) in the 350GT, it had been increased in displacement to 6,496 cc (396 cu in) in the final version of the Murciélago.
