Italy’s small workshops and coachbuilders shaped the early 1960s sports-car scene, and 1963 was a year when Lamborghini began to make its presence felt with prototype work and road-going experiments. Those early projects set the tone for the marque’s engineering focus and styling language without yet matching the later production runs.
