    The 0-60 times of a P300 may appear slow but this is largely due to the slow gear change from 1st to 2nd. Once up and running the P300 is plenty quick enough!

    Below are some numbers fro Arnstein Landsem's Urraco book:
    P200; 182 HP, Weight: 1250 Kg; 0-60 mph: na; 0-100 mph: na; 1/4 mile: na.
    111; 180 HP, Weight: 1300 Kg; 0-60 mph: 10.1; 0-100 mph: 26.5; 1/4 mile:17.9.
    P250; 220 HP, Weight: 1150 Kg; 0-60 mph: 8.5-8.7; 0-100 mph: 22.7-23; 1/4 mile:16.6.
    P300; 260 HP, Weight: 1300 Kg; 0-60 mph: 6.2-7.6; 0-100 mph:13.8-17.5; 1/4 mile: 14.6-15.6.

    From the data above, I would think the P200 and 111 should perform about the same.

    That is the Urraco I love sooo much and wish I had when it was for sale in France (?).
    I think the price was around or less than US40k.

    I want this car. Mr Wallace should make some continuation "Bob" cars like this to sell, or at least the parts to convert to his specs, that would be cool too. I'll take mine in white thanks. Lamborghini Urraco rally V8? Exhaust - YouTube

    I asked Bob directly before we made the LP420 SVM, BOB he said he has ZERO interest in doing any more Urracos. :( Hence the LP420 SVM Urraco

    i spoke to bob many years ago about replicating an urraco bob race car for a track car. he said its nearly impossible since every single panel and body structure were different from the production car to get it near 2000lbs of the original. the later drivetrain spec of the 6-speed and 32 valve injected motor werent available either. im not sure what exactly happen to the experimental components.

    i would still like to see v-twelve give it a go at an replica. as interesting as the uk/japan car, i think you can get a tad closer to the original....

    When I last visited Bob he mentioned that he was mainly doing Ferrari's these days.
    The Lamborghini's are not worth much compared to the F-cars.
    So customers scream at the thought of spending 50-100 K USD rebuilding a engine on most Lambo models, that might be worth much less when done.

    However on a 1 M USD F-car no problem.. That's why he prefer the other brand these days.

    I hope it get more than the 19k it is now.

    Either way Lambo bros, get one of these and add it to your stable....they are cheap enough but fun as hell.

    Although there are no longer any US side markers the heritage of this car is clear from the forward position of the round winker repeater lights seen only on P111s with P250 bodies shipped to US.

    They are for sale on EBay by a man in France they came from Thepenier who was the french importer in the 70's.
    They are from the pre-serial Urraco, you can seethe different position for the front light, the rear bumper was also different.
    The early serial model end of 1972 and early 1973 have also the rear badge on the trunk.

    I didn't buy them on ebay but directly from that person. Indeed, they come from Thepenier and they were used for homologation purposes with the UTAC.
    They are beautiful.

    Those are cool. Great buy. What was the cost? When I eventually build another "barn", I'd like to put that and my Countach ones on the walls :)

    Fantastic !...yes indeed they are beautiful. If you ever decide to duplicate them I would love to have a set in my study.

    interesting... i cant read the numbers but is the rear track is much narrower than the fronts? I believe this is different from the production cars.

    may i ask whats the date of the drawings?

    regards
