This isn’t your average Lamborghini sighting. 😱 What you’re looking at is a Lamborghini Silhouette P300, a mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive rarity produced in limited numbers between 1976 and 1979. 🔙 It made its debut at the 1976 Geneva Auto Show as a design experiment by the legendary Italian coachbuilder Bertone, based on the earlier Urraco model. 🇮🇹 The Silhouette was easily distinguishable thanks to its sharper, more angular styling, and it holds a special place in Lamborghini’s history as the first model from the marque to feature a targa top roof. 🥇 Power came from a 3.0-litre all-aluminium V8 engine, mounted transversely behind the driver. 💪 Despite its compact size and lightweight setup, the Silhouette delivered impressive performance: 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds, 0 to 161 km/h in 16.1 seconds, and a top speed of 260 km/h. 💨 For a car from the mid-70s, those figures are nothing short of remarkable. 😳 Only 54 Silhouettes were ever produced, 42 in left-hand drive and just 12 in right-hand drive. 👀 Today, just 31 examples are known to exist. 🤔 That makes spotting one of these even rarer than catching a glimpse of modern low-volume Lamborghinis like the Centenario, Reventón, or Sián. 🧐 Yet, unlike many of those garage queens, at least a few Silhouettes are still being driven, and spotted. 📸 To read more about the Lamborghini Silhouette P300 and to check out all spots from our archives visit, www.autogespot.com/lamborghini-silhouette-p300-the-forgotten-bull-that-still-roams 📰 Upload your spots now to www.autogespot.com 👈 Swipe left to see more! 🔚 Photos by @DeJong32_Photography
