The Lamborghini 400 GT 2+2 occupies a precise and rarely discussed position in the Sant'Agata story: it arrived at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show as the practical evolution of Lamborghini's first proper road car, extended at the roofline to accommodate vestigial rear seats while keeping the same V12 architecture and Carrozzeria Touring coachwork. KK Scale renders it in a 1:18 die-cast metal replica finished in factory red — a period-correct specification for a car that was sold exclusively to private customers and never raced.
A V12 Grand Tourer Before the Miura Changed Everything
At its core, the 400 GT 2+2 is powered by Lamborghini's 3929 cc twin-overhead-camshaft V12, fed by six Weber 40 DCOE twin-choke carburettors and producing 320 bhp at 6,500 rpm. That translated to a top speed of approximately 250 km/h and a 0–100 km/h time of around 6.8 seconds — figures that put it squarely in the company of the Ferrari 275 GTB. The wider roofline compared with the two-seat 400 GT gave rear passengers just enough room to exist, making the car more attractive to buyers with families without compromising the driving character.
224 Units, Hand-Built by Touring of Milan
Carrozzeria Touring of Milan constructed the body using their Superleggera method: a lightweight framework of small-diameter steel tubes over which aluminium and steel panels were formed by hand. It was a coachbuilding technique already in its final years when the 400 GT 2+2 entered production in 1966, and the car's total run of approximately 224 units reflects both the artisan pace of that process and the limited market for a grand tourer at that price point. The 400 GT 2+2 remained in the Lamborghini catalogue until 1968, briefly alongside the Miura P400 that had redefined what the brand could be.
KK Scale's 1:18 Scale Model in Die-Cast Metal
KK Scale is a German brand with a focused catalogue of 1:18 die-cast road car replicas, typically characterised by all-metal bodies and precise exterior detailing. This model reproduces the 400 GT 2+2 in red, a factory-available colour consistent with period Lamborghini delivery specifications. Die-cast metal construction gives the replica the weight and surface fidelity expected at this scale, and the long, low profile of the Touring-designed body translates well into the format.
Where This Model Sits in a Collection
The 400 GT 2+2 in 1:18 belongs naturally alongside other mid-1960s Italian grand tourers: the Lamborghini Miura P400, the Ferrari 275 GTB, or the Maserati Ghibli 4.7 of 1967. For a Lamborghini-focused shelf, it fills the pre-Countach chapter that most collections leave empty — the V12 GT that established the formula before the mid-engined era. Its rarity as a real car, with only around 224 examples built, gives the model added significance as a replica of something genuinely uncommon.
