The Chrysler Portofino Was The Four-Door Lamborghini We Never Knew We Needed

For a few brief, wild years, Lamborghini was owned by none other than Chrysler. Strange days: Lamborghini got an F1 program, Chrysler got the Dodge Viper, and we sadly never got the Chrysler Portofino, a four-door Lambo with an engine in the back. Well, not exactly. The first thing to know about this car is that it was not a Lamborghini, not entirely. It was a Chrysler design study adapted into a full concept car with Lamborghini parts. Behind the front and back seats sits a sideways Lamborghini V8, then used in the Jalpa. Before that it was in the Silhouette and the wonderful Urraco before that. A five-speed manual stretched up to the front, trimmed in yellow, beside the yellow-and-polka-dot steering wheel. -Raphael Orlove Read more: https://jalopnik.com/the-chrysler-portofino-was-the-four-door-lamborghini-we-1842378398 Follow Jalopnik on: https://twitter.com/jalopnik https://www.facebook.com/jalopnik https://instagram.com/jalopnik/ Drive free or die! https://jalopnik.com
