The Islero was revealed at the 1968 Geneva Auto Show and was named after a Miura bull that killed famed matador Manuel Rodriguez "Manolete" on August 28, 1947.
The Islero was powered by a 4 liter V12 engine that delivered 325 hp. The engine was mated to a 5 speed transmission, fully independent suspension, and disc brakes. Its top speed was rated at 155 mph. Lamborghini made only 125 Islero.
Islero S was limited to only 100 units, and compared to a standard Islero it could hit a top speed of 161 mph.
Islero was a very successful model for its era: Ferruccio Lamborghini himself drove an Islero, it also appeared in Roger Moore thriller The Man Who Haunted Himself. In 1975, Paul Rilly entered a modified Islero in the grueling 24 Hours of Le-Mans. It failed to qualify.
