Soon after Chrysler took ownership of Lamborghini, they presented the Portofino concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1987. It was designed by Tom Gale at Chrysler Pacifica in Carlsbad, California, and built in Italy by Coggiola. The Chrysler Lamborghini Portofino used an extended Lamborghini Jalpa platform along with that car’s mid-rear-mounted V8 engine. A four-door sports saloon wasn’t in Chrysler’s product plan for Lamborghini, but Tom Gale adapted the styling for the successful Chrysler Intrepid/Concord series of the 1990s (minus the scissor doors).

Lamborghini Bravo Concept, 1974. Designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone, it was a prototype for a two-seat entry-level Lamborghini powered by their 3.0-litre V8 engine. The Bravo never entered production due to Lamborghini's financial difficulties and the 1973 oil crisis.
