Lamborghini Espada: Which Version Should You Choose?
The Lamborghini Espada catalogue data contains one generation and one version: the 3.9 AT. That means there is no alternative engine, gearbox, body style, or generation to compare. For a buyer choosing strictly from this catalogue, the decision is straightforward: the 3.9 AT is the only available specification, combining a 3929 cc Gasoline engine with 350 hp, a 3-speed Automatic gearbox, and RWD.
The Lamborghini Espada catalogue data contains one generation and one version: the 3.9 AT. That means there is no alternative engine, gearbox, body style, or generation to compare. For a buyer choosing strictly from this catalogue, the decision is straightforward: the 3.9 AT is the only available specification, combining a 3929 cc Gasoline engine with 350 hp, a 3-speed Automatic gearbox, and RWD. Its calculated output is approximately 89.1 hp per litre. Several figures that would normally help evaluate performance, economy, practicality, and weight are not measured, so the choice should be based on the specifications that are actually recorded rather than unsupported comparisons.
Lamborghini Espada generations compared
The Lamborghini Espada has 1 generation in the supplied data. The 1 generation ran from 1968 to 1981 and used a Coupe body. It contains 1 version, the 3.9 AT.
Because the catalogue lists only one generation, there is no earlier or later Espada generation against which to measure changes in engine output, transmission, drive type, body style, dimensions, or economy. No restyling is listed separately within the generation. Claims about what changed over time therefore cannot be established from the supplied figures.
For buyers, this lack of alternatives removes the usual generation-level questions. There is no choice between different production eras or body types in this dataset: every listed Espada points back to the same Coupe generation and the same 3.9 AT specification.
Lamborghini Espada engine and specs
The 3.9 AT has a 3929 cc Gasoline engine producing 350 hp and 257 kW. It has 12 cylinders in a V-shaped layout, uses a Carburetor, and has no boost. The version is paired with a 3-speed Automatic gearbox and RWD.
| Version | Power | Torque | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.9 AT | 350 hp / 257 kW | not measured | 3929 cc | Gasoline | 12 | V-shaped | No | 3-speed Automatic | RWD |
Calculated from the supplied displacement and power, the 3.9 AT produces approximately 89.1 hp per litre. Since there are no other versions in the data, this figure cannot support a claim that one Espada engine is more power-dense than another. It is useful only as a concise way to describe the sole listed powertrain.
The recorded fuel grade is 92. Engine speed at maximum power is not measured, torque is not measured, engine speed at maximum torque is not measured, valves per cylinder are not measured, compression ratio is not measured, and bore and stroke are not measured. Engine location is also not measured.
Lamborghini Espada performance and mpg
For the 3.9 AT, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is not measured and top speed is not measured. City fuel consumption is not measured, highway fuel consumption is not measured, and combined fuel consumption is not measured. CO₂ emissions are not measured, and the emissions class is not measured.
| Version | 0–100 km/h | Top speed | City consumption | Highway consumption | Combined consumption | CO₂ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.9 AT | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
The 350 hp output alone does not establish acceleration, maximum speed, or mpg. Those outcomes cannot be calculated reliably from engine power without additional measured data. Likewise, the absence of consumption figures does not mean that fuel use is zero or irrelevant; it means the catalogue has not measured it.
This missing information also prevents a performance-value comparison. There is no second Espada version with a measured acceleration time, top speed, or fuel-consumption figure, so the data does not support naming a faster or more economical choice.
Lamborghini Espada dimensions and weight
The 3.9 AT has 125 mm of ground clearance. Kerb weight is not measured, gross weight is not measured, fuel-tank capacity is not measured, and wheel sizes are not measured.
| Version | Kerb weight | Gross weight | Ground clearance | Fuel tank | Wheel sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.9 AT | not measured | not measured | 125 mm | not measured | not measured |
Because kerb weight is not measured, weight per horsepower cannot be calculated. Gross weight is also unavailable, so the difference between kerb and gross weight cannot be established. The missing tank-capacity and fuel-consumption figures mean driving range cannot be calculated either.
The suspension data identifies an Independent, spring front setup and a Dependent, spring rear setup. The 3.9 AT has Disc front brakes and Disc rear brakes.
Lamborghini Espada reliability and problems
Reliability results, failure rates, repair records, and model-specific problems are not measured in the supplied data. The catalogue therefore cannot rank the 3.9 AT for reliability or identify recurring faults.
The available specifications show a Carburetor fuel system, no boost, a 3-speed Automatic gearbox, and RWD, but these details alone do not prove that the version is more or less reliable than another vehicle. A reliability judgment would require evidence that is not present here.
Which Lamborghini Espada version should you buy?
Choose the 3.9 AT if you want the only Lamborghini Espada configuration represented in this catalogue: a Coupe with a 3929 cc Gasoline engine, 350 hp, 257 kW, 12 V-shaped cylinders, no boost, a Carburetor, a 3-speed Automatic gearbox, and RWD. Its calculated specific output is approximately 89.1 hp per litre, and its measured ground clearance is 125 mm.
There is no “extra money buys more power” comparison to make because no price information and no second version are supplied. The power difference between listed versions is effectively unavailable rather than measurable: the data contains only the 3.9 AT. There is also no generation upgrade to select, since the model has one listed generation with one Coupe body and one version.
The strongest reason to choose the 3.9 AT is therefore completeness within the catalogue, not superiority over an alternative. Before making a purchase decision, independently obtain the figures that are not measured here: torque, 0–100 km/h acceleration, top speed, fuel consumption, kerb weight, gross weight, tank capacity, wheel sizes, emissions, reliability, and known problems. Based solely on the supplied data, the 3.9 AT is both the default choice and the only choice.
