1972–1979 Lamborghini Urraco P111 (USA) Specs & Performance

The 1972–1979 Lamborghini Urraco P111 USA was the North American version of Lamborghini’s compact mid-engine sports coupe. Developed from the Urraco P250, it received changes for the U.S. market while retaining the sleek fastback body, four-seat layout and rear-mid-engine configuration. Its distinctive proportions and compact V8-powered design gave Lamborghini a more accessible sports-car formula, while emissions and regulatory changes created a lower-output version specifically adapted for American buyers.

The 1972–1979 Urraco P111 USA uses a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter V8 producing 178 hp and 139 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed manual transmission sends power to the rear wheels, with 0–60 mph taking 10.2 seconds and top speed reaching 140 mph. Its combination of rear-mid-engine layout, rear-wheel drive and compact four-seat design gave the P111 USA a distinctive foundation within Lamborghini’s early V8 sports-car range.
