The Lamborghini Espada was a grand touring coupe made between 1968 and 1978. Designed by Marcello Gandini, the Espada was Lamborghini's most successful model at the time. A total of 1,217 were manufactured throughout its production run. The Espada's lifespan was marked by three distinct series (Series I, Series II, Series III), each with their own respective interior design, but all largely maintaining the original Gandini exterior design.
