RE: [VintageLambo] Ferruccio's Islero?

Interesting that the ad reads "350 din HP (403 Detroit)" I wonder if the Islero (or any Lamborghini of that period), really was rated to a Deutsche Institut fur Normung standard (all engine accessories required to make the engine operate). In those days, SAE gross (no engine accessories) was the common source of hp numbers, which is why you had "400 hp" Corvettes. I"ve also never seen an engine rated in "Detroit" horsepower, though it makes sense and is kind of amusing. Perhaps a witty jab at the over-inflated horsepower claims of the day.
