Lamborghini Espada - Series III (1972 to 1978)

The Series III was the last evolution of the Lamborghini Espada, and was manufactured between 1972 and 1978. The same 4.0L V12 was carried over from the previous series, with a slight power increase available from 1977 until the end of production. As was the case with the Series II, the Series III featured a great deal of interior updates. All controls and switches featured new aluminum trim, and were placed within reach of the driver for a more commanding driving position. The most visible change to the exterior design was the introduction of new wheel hubs, replacing the previous series' knock-off wheels. Other exterior tweaks included a square front grill mesh, and new taillights. In 1975, due to US regulations, large impact bumpers were added. A total of 456 examples of the Espada Series III were built.
