'''Lamborghini Urraco''' was a [[sports car]] manifactured by Italian automaker [[Lamborghini]] in the 1970s. It was introduced at the [[Turin Auto Show]] in 1970 but wasn't available to buyers until 1973.

The car was a 2+2 coupé with body designed by [[Marcello Gandini]], at the time working for Carrozzeria [[Bertone]]. Rather than being another [[supercar]], like the [[Lamborghini Miura]], the Urraco was more affordable, an alternative to the pricier [[Ferrari Dino]] and [[Maserati Merak]].

When production ended in 1979, 791 Urracos had been built. Twenty-one of these were labelled '''Urraco P111''' for the American market. In order to comply with American regulations, these cars had larger front bumpers and less horsepower. The other Urraco versions were the '''Urraco P200''', '''Urraco P250''' and '''Urraco P300''' with 2 litre, 2.5 litre, and 3 litre V-8 respectively.

Both the [[Lamborghini Silhouette]], with its detachable roof panel, and its successor [[Lamborghini Jalpa]], with a 3.5 litre V-8 engine, were based upon the Urraco.

==Notable appearances==
A black Urraco was featured in a December 2005 episode of the BBC television show Top Gear. The supercar was purchased by James May (used, obviously) for no more than ten thousand British pounds, and was in mechanically awful condition. Eventually succumbing to complete electrical failure, the car was then believed to have been sold on to a dealer in London for five thousand British pounds.
