The Lamborghini Urraco P200, introduced in 1975, was a smaller, more affordable version of the iconic Urraco. Designed by Bertone, it was powered by a 1994cc DOHC V8 engine, making it the least powerful of the Urraco family. Its engine size was specifically chosen to cater to the Italian market, where cars over 2000cc faced heavy taxes. This strategic decision helped make the P200 more attractive to buyers in Italy, where smaller engines offered financial benefits.
Despite its appeal in terms of taxation, the Urraco P200 was not as popular as its larger-engine siblings. Only 71, or possibly 77, units were built between 1975 and 1979, making it the rarest of the Urraco models. While the car maintained Lamborghini’s signature design language, with its angular Bertone styling and mid-engine layout, the P200’s lack of power compared to the other variants contributed to its limited sales.
Today, the Urraco P200 is a collector’s item, notable for its rarity and its unique position in Lamborghini’s history. Despite being overshadowed by more powerful versions, it remains a significant model, reflecting the brand's attempt to offer a more accessible entry point into the world of Lamborghini.
