She offered usually two seats; surcharge there was an extra jump seat in the rear. Unlike the contemporary Ferrari models as front - rear wheels were independently suspended and led to unequal length double wishbones.

Prototypes and special models
350 GTV
Precursor for the 350 GT was in 1963 at the Turin Salon presented 350 GTV ( Gran Turismo Veloce ). He was in contrast to the 350 GT pop-up headlights. He was presented at the Turin Motor Show in 1963 without an engine. The 350 GTV got his motor only when the Lamborghini dealer Romano Bernardoni bought it and fully restored. In 1990, the 350 GTV was the first time be driven - 27 years after his first appearance.
3500 GTZ
The Lamborghini 3500 GTZ Zagato 1965 presented at the London Motor Show. He technically based on the Lamborghini 350 GT, but the wheelbase compared to the base model was shortened by four inches. The design of the 350 GT was modified significantly for the 3500 GTZ Zagato by the then - head designer Ercole Spada. Spada's aluminum body reminiscent of the hidden headlights and the demolition of the rear of the Alfa Romeo TZ2 and the Ferrari 250 GTO. The initiative for this project was due to a Lamborghini Milan dealer; Ferruccio Lamborghini, however, held by Zagato version of his car nothing, refusing a series production has therefore off because he felt the car as ugly. Through its more aerodynamically efficient body and the much lower weight of the GTZ was noticeably faster than the basic model; Zagato spoke to 280km / h, a value which was never tested in a test.
A total of two GTZ developed. The exhibit is produced first ( chassis number 0310 ) still exists; it was last in the Ruhr. A second specimen ( chassis number 0322 ) was first used by Lamborghini's chief engineer Paolo Stanzani, before it was sold to Hong Kong and destroyed there in an accident.
350 GTS
The Lamborghini 350 GTS, a converted to Cabriolet 350 GT, was unveiled at the 1965 Paris Salon. Only two examples were built because Ferruccio Lamborghini was of the opinion that the perfect high -performance sports car should be as quiet and comfortable, which corresponded to ideal a convertible limited.
