One of the most influential Lamborghini show cars was the Studio 114 Bravo. Designed by Bertone and premiered at 1974's Turin Salon, it was built on the underpinnings of a P300 Urraco (this itself having been revealed at the very same show). The Bravo was a fully functioning machine that featured many innovative design cues, several details being adopted later in the decade for Lamborghini's Silhouette and Countach.
   
The lines were extremely fluid, Bertone concealing mundane restrictions such as window pillars while a complete absence of traditional bumpers hinted towards the future for manufacturers. Interestingly, the Bravo gave a world debut to Pirelli's revolutionary P7 tyres and the very attractive ‘telephone dial’ wheels that would be used on the Silhouette.
