Lamborghini 350GT shared a number of features with the 350GTV prototype, including a four-wheel independent suspension, quad-cam V12, and an aluminum body. A number of revisions and refinements were made due to the suggestions of the Neri & Bonacini racing development shop and test driver Bob Wallace. Fixed headlights replaced the prototype's pop-up variety, and side-mounted carburetors reduced the height of the engine, thereby negating the clearance problems of the GTV prototype. The engine in the 350 was the Bizzarrini-designed V12. It was a very capable power plant that could reach well into triple-digit speeds in top form. The manufacture of the bodies was entrusted to Touring of Milan, who used their patented Superleggera method of construction to fix aluminum-alloy panels directly to a tubular structure.
