The car was a 2+2 coupé. Rather than being another supercar, like the Lamborghini Miura, the Urraco was more affordable, an alternative to for example Ferrari Dino and Maserati Merak.

When production ended in 1979, 791 Urracos had been built. 21 of these were labelled Urraco P111 for the American market. In order to comply with American regulations, these cars had larger front bumpers and fewer horsepowers, among other things. The other Urraco versions were the Urraco P200, Urraco P250 and Urraco P300.
