When Lamborghini, a respected Italian manufacturer of tractors and farm equipment, set out to build a better Grand Tourer than Ferrari, he hired the best in the industry and debuted with the 350GT. While the 350GT was well received, Lamborghini produced 23 350GTs with an enlarged 4-liter version of their V-12 and called them 400GTs.
