Independent Reviews
“Author Landsem gives a comprehensive study of the design, development and realisation of Lamborghini’s junior supercar of the Seventies in a story that sees design flair and automotive high art set against political upheaval and economic unrest. Useful and entertaining.” – Classic Cars
“The key figures at the factory feature throughout the book, including New Zealander Bob Wallace, Balboni and Paolo Stanzini, all of whom are able to put the car into perspective in the company’s troubled times … another real strength is the use made of many photos from Bertone, who were responsible for the look of the car.” – Classic Driver
