The Lamborghini Urraco: the little baby Lambo that was meant to beat the Porsche 911 and Ferrari 308, but which instead ran into a myriad of problems. This book describes what really happened, and why the car never got the chance it deserved.
The Urraco lived on in the form of the Silhouette and the Jalpa; the latter greatly responsible for keeping the Lamborghini brand alive in the 1980s. The full story of these V8 Lamborghinis is recorded in these pages, with exclusive interviews from the leading figures behind the cars. The book also includes detailed advice on what to look out for when buying one of these future supercar classics.
Hundreds of amazing photos, most never before published makes this the ultimate book on the V8 Lamborghinis.

A Lamborghini-enthusiast since he was seven years old, Arnstein has also gone through the ups and downs of being an Urraco-owner. Such is his passion for Italian sportscars, that they even feature in a large tattoo on his left arm.
