1977 Lamborghini Silhouette

The 1977 Lamborghini Silhouette is a rare and significant model, with only 56 examples ever built, making it one of the most exclusive Lamborghinis of its era. As the brand's first targa-top model, it introduced open-air driving while maintaining Lamborghini’s signature sharp, angular design. The Silhouette is powered by a 3.0-liter V8 engine, producing 265 horsepower, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. This combination delivers an engaging and responsive driving experience that showcases the model’s performance-oriented character.

Car number 38 holds particular significance within this limited production run. Originally finished in Blu with a Natural leather interior, this Silhouette was used as an early press car, giving it a prominent place in Lamborghini’s press coverage. It was featured in the November 1978 issue of Sport Auto magazine in France, where its dynamic performance and design were highlighted.

Today, this Silhouette has been refinished in a vibrant Giallo, complementing its aggressive lines and making it even more of a visual standout. As a bridge between the Urraco and its successor, the Jalpa, the Silhouette remains a collectible and historically important model that captures Lamborghini’s bold experimentation during the late 1970s. With its limited production, press car provenance, and unique finishes, this example is an exceptional piece of Lamborghini’s heritage.
