Lamborghini 4000 GT Flying Star II - 1966 by Perico001 Coachwork...
Lamborghini 4000 GT Flying Star II - 1966 by Perico001 Coachwork by Carrozzeria Touring This one-off prototype was displayed on the stand of Carrozzeria Touring at the 1966 Turin Motor Show, and was sold at the show to Jacques Quoirez, the brother of novelist Françoise Sagan. It has all-aluminium bodywork and is built on a shortened 350GT chassis but has a 400GT engine. Always registered in France, it has been in its current ownership for over 32 years.

Ambitious Engine Swap Contender: A Complete Lamborghini Miura P400 V12
This is a complete Lamborghini Miura P400 engine that finds itself in need of a new home. It would have originally shipped from the factory in the back of a Lamborghini Miura P400 with the chassis number 3156, at some point the two became separated and now the engine is for sale as an individual unit.
The P400 was the first iteration of the Lamborghini Miura, the name stands for the Italian words “Posteriore 4 Litri”, or “Posterior 4 Litre” in English – an indication that the engine was mounted in the back and had a capacity of 4 litres (3929cc).
It’s not known whether the engineering team behind the development of the Miura took inspiration from the British Mini, however they did use the same basic transverse engine orientation combined with the Mini’s famous gearbox in the bottom of the engine and sharing its oil.
Unlike the somewhat agricultural pushrod inline-4 used in the Mini, Lamborghini used a cutting edge 60º V12 with chain-driven double overhead cams per bank, four 3-barrel downdraft Weber carburettors, a compression ratio of 9.5:1 and capable of 345 hp at 7,000 rpm and 262 ft lbs of torque at 5,000 rpm.
Just 275 built examples of the Lamborghini Miura P400 were built between 1966 and 1969 before the introduction of the P400S model. This means that original, complete P400 engines are rare and highly sought after by those who need them as either spares or replacement engines.
The engine you see here is complete however it does require a full rebuild and the team at RM Sotheby’s do note that it has some engine block damage. The engine is being offered without reserve, with a price guide of €50,000 to €70,000 which works out to approximately $55,000 to $77,000 USD at the time of writing.

Lamborghini Countach LP 400 Periscopio - 1975 by Perico001...
Lamborghini Countach LP 400 Periscopio - 1975 by Perico001 Gandini took on the awesome task of replacing the Miura. Using the cuneiform profile from his Carabo, he came up with the mind-blowing Countach that almost exceeded the Miura ! The production version suffered from huge air intakes, but these did not detract from another Gandini masterpiece.

The Lamborghini 
Countach (help·info) is a rear mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car produced by the Italian automobile manufacturer Lamborghini from 1974 to 1990. It is one of the then-exotic designs conceptualized by Italian Design house Bertone, which pioneered and popularized the sharply angled "Italian Wedge" design language.
This design language was originally embodied and introduced to the public in 1970 as the Lancia Stratos Zero concept car. The first showing of the Countach prototype was at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show, as the Lamborghini LP500 concept car.[6] The Countach also popularized the "cab forward" design concept, which pushes the passenger compartment forward to accommodate a larger rear-mounted engine.Countach (help·info) is a rear mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car produced by the Italian automobile manufacturer Lamborghini from 1974 to 1990.
