The Silhouette featured an aluminum L240 V8 engine making 265 horsepower and 195 lb/ft of torque.
The transmission on this car was a 5 speed manual with synchromesh. There was no automatic transmission option.
This car could reach a top speed of 161.2 miles per hour, an impressive figure for a car with a V8 engine.
The retail price of the Silhouette in 1976 was $27,000, which would be into six figures when adjusted to modern prices with inflation.
Only 55 of these cars were made at the Lamborghini factory, making them rare even for a Lamborghini.
If you are looking to purchase one of these cars, good luck. The chances you'll ever even see one are slim. You can watch ebay listings like a hawk, you'll never know when one might pop up on there.
