LAMBORGHINI P140 (Italy)

Price: $105,000 (estimated).
Birthdate: Late ‘92.
How to say it: ‚PEE-won-fore-tee”

Workers in Sant Agata have nicknamed the Lamborghini P140 (the replacement for the Jalpa) the Miura II, an affectionate label that may wind up as the cars final name. Powered by a 330-bp 4.0-liter all-aluminum V-lO (not related to the Dodge Viper engine), the littlest Lambo is yet another gem from the Fertile mind of‚you guessed it again, Again- Marcello Gandini.

What’s more, its lines are said to be ‚”untouched and un-Americanized”,which was not the case with this car’s big brother, the Diablo.

In price, the aluminum-bodied targatopped P140 will compete with the $101,050 Ferrari 348, but in straight-line performance, asserts Lamborghini, it will trounce the Ferrari firmly. Chrysler executives hope that by late ‘92, Lamborghini will begin churning out an ambitious 1500 to 2000 P1405 annually- tall order given the plant’s current ability to dissemble fewer than three Diablos daily
