It was Lamborghini&#8217;s first open model which used a removable roof that could be stored behind the rear seats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To accommodate the new roof, significant changes were made to the Urraco structure to increase rigidity. Bertone was commissioned to restyle the body and make room for the ultra-wide Pirelli P7 tires. They added new wheel arches, a distinct front dam with ducts for the oil cooler and brakes. The rear had a unique window treatment that was really an oversize hoop to hide the roll-bar.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the passenger&#8217;s sat a mid-mounted, quad-cam V8 engine which was good for 265 bhp. Since Lamborghini was not importing cars at the time, only a few cars were sold in the grey market to America, and all versions had 265 bhp for the European market.<\/p>\n<p>While the intention was to revive the Urraco model, only around 50 Silhouettes were ever manufactured. Later, Lamborghini released the ultimate version known as the Jalpa.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1976-lamborghini-silhouette\/1976_lamborghini_silhouette1\/\" rel=\"attachment
