AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Lamborghini Espada in blue metallic reproduces the Bertone-designed four-seat V12 grand tourer, one of Lamborghini's most unconventional bodies. This used example has opening doors and a box showing traces of storage, the model itself unaffected. A genuinely different Lamborghini shape for the shelf.
About the Lamborghini Espada Blue Metallic AUTOart 1:18
TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Lamborghini Espada recreates the four-seat Bertone grand tourer in blue metallic, doors opening on the metal shell. Used example, box showing traces of storage. The Espada gave Lamborghini a genuine practical V12 alongside its two-seat supercars.
Most people picture a Lamborghini as a two-seat wedge, so the Espada's long, low four-seat body genuinely surprises anyone unfamiliar with the marque's broader 1960s and 1970s lineup.
Casting the Espada's Unconventional Length
The zinc alloy body carries substantial weight given the Espada's genuinely long wheelbase, and AUTOart's tooling holds the low, flat roofline and distinctive rear glass treatment with the crispness that shape needs to read correctly rather than looking merely stretched. Blue metallic paint sits well on a body this long, carrying consistent depth across broad flat panels that would show any unevenness immediately. The doors, full-length and heavy on the real car, open here with hinge resistance that feels appropriately weighted, revealing a genuinely spacious four-seat cabin trimmed with period Italian detailing rather than the cramped two-seat layout most Lamborghinis of the era offered. Shutlines stay tight along the long flanks, and the stance sits low without losing the proportions that make the Espada distinct. Storage wear is confined to the box.
An Unusual Chapter in Lamborghini's History
Bertone's design gave Lamborghini a genuinely practical V12 grand tourer at a time when the marque was best known for the two-seat Miura, and the Espada sold in far greater numbers than the supercars that get more attention today. That practicality is exactly what makes it interesting alongside a Countach or Diablo: it proves Lamborghini could build a usable four-seat car without abandoning its performance identity. On a shelf tracing the marque's full range rather than just its headline supercars, the Espada fills a gap most collections never think to fill.
