About the Lamborghini Espada Blue Metallic AUTOart 1:18
TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Lamborghini Espada, in blue metallic, reproduces the four-seat V12 grand tourer Bertone designed under Marcello Gandini's direction. Doors and hood open. This is a used model; the box shows traces of storage. A genuinely unusual shape from a marque otherwise defined by two-seat wedges.
The Espada broke from every expectation of what a Lamborghini should be: long, low, and genuinely capable of carrying four adults, a family-friendly supercar built when the marque was still finding its identity.
Diecast Detail and Opening Features on the Espada
AUTOart's zinc-alloy body carries real weight, and the blue metallic paint shows genuine flake depth along the Espada's long, flat hood and low glasshouse. Doors and hood open, revealing the V12 up front, a departure from the mid-engine layout Lamborghini favored on its two-seat cars, and a genuinely spacious cabin trimmed for four. Panel gaps along the car's extended roofline and low beltline stay tight, a real test given how long and flat this shape runs compared to a compact wedge supercar. This copy is a used model, box showing traces of storage; the casting itself carries no such marks.
Why the Espada Deserves Attention
Gandini's design work on the Espada shows a different side of his talent than the angular Countach that followed, proving Bertone and Lamborghini could build something genuinely usable without sacrificing drama. For a Lamborghini collection built around more than just Countaches and Diablos, the Espada offers a genuinely distinct chapter.
Placing the Espada in a Lamborghini Lineup
Set beside a Miura or Countach, the Espada's long, four-seat proportions highlight just how varied Lamborghini's early lineup actually was, a valuable contrast piece for any 1960s-70s Italian GT shelf.
