Lamborghini and Milan-based coachbuilder Zagato have lifted the veil off of a one-off sports car dubbed 5-95. Commissioned by Swiss collector Albert Spiess, the coupe rides on a Gallardo LP570-4 platform but it boasts a bespoke Zagato-penned body.
The 5-95 leaves behind Lamborghini’s angular design language in favor of a more classic rounded shape accented by a large oval radiator grille, curved wheel arches and a truncated rear end that gives the car a shorter overhang. Circular tail lamps add a retro touch, while Zagato’s traditional double-bubble roof wraps up the look.
Zagato and Lamborghini have chosen not to publish pictures of what lies beneath the sheet metal, but the instrument cluster bezel visible in one of the photos hints the cockpit is standard Gallardo fare.
The 5-95 is powered by an evolution of the LP570-4’s 5.2-liter V10 engine tuned to generate at least 562 horsepower and 398 lb-ft. of torque. Linked to an all-wheel drive system, the ten-cylinder mill sends the 5-95 from zero to 100 kmph in approximately 3.4 seconds and on to a top speed of over 321 kmph.
The Lamborghini Zagato 5-95 will be presented to the public for the first time at this weekend’s Villa d’Este Concours d’Elegance. Following the show, the car will join Spiess’ sizable Lamborghini collection in Switzerland.
How much the collector paid for his one-off coupe was not disclosed.
