The Lamborghini 350 GT 3 Posti, introduced in 1964, was a rare variation of Lamborghini’s first production car, the 350 GT. Prior to this, Lamborghini had primarily been known for manufacturing tractors, making the 350 GT a landmark vehicle in the brand’s history.
The bodywork was crafted by Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera, following their signature lightweight construction techniques. While the majority of the 120 Lamborghini 350 GTs produced were traditional two-seaters, Lamborghini built six special models with a unique three-seat configuration. This 3 Posti (three-seater) layout featured a centrally positioned third seat behind the two front seats, offering an unconventional yet practical solution for accommodating an additional passenger.
The 350 GT was powered by a 3.5-liter V12 engine, developed by Giacomo Alfieri and designed by Giotto Bizzarrini, producing 280 horsepower and delivering a top speed of around 155 mph (250 km/h). It featured a 5-speed manual transmission, independent suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes, making it a formidable grand tourer for its time.
Though only six examples of the 3 Posti version were produced, these cars remain an intriguing part of Lamborghini’s early history, highlighting the brand’s willingness to innovate and experiment with unconventional designs. The 350 GT 3 Posti remains a rare and fascinating chapter in Lamborghini’s evolution from an agricultural machinery manufacturer to a world-renowned luxury sports car brand.
