Lamborghini Islero was produced by Lamborghini between 1968-1970 and featuring the Lamborghini V12 engine.
The Islero (pronounced "eez-LEHR-oh") was named after a bull that killed famed matador Manuel Rodriguez "Manolete" on August 28, 1947.
It was the replacement for the 400GT 2+2. The car debuted at the 1968 Geneva Auto Show.
Since Touring, the company that designed Lamborghini's chasis was bankrupt, Carrozzeria Marazzi was a logical choice as it was funded by Mario Marazzi, an old employee of Touring.
