4. Urraco

The Lamborghini Urraco was designed to be an affordable alternative to their supercars, leading to the name Urraco, which is slang for “little bull.” Meant to aid sales figures, the Urraco could seat four, had a detachable roof, and had a smaller powertrain. The three models, the P200, P250, and P300 all had V8 engines producing between 215 and 260 horsepower. Unfortunately labor strikes and mechanical problems hurt sales figures and the Urraco was discontinued in 1979, after only 791 were built. 21 of these were the Urraco P111 built for the American market. In order to comply with stricter American regulations, these cars had larger front bumpers and added emissions controls, the latter resulting in decreased horsepower for the American version.
