Unveiled at Villa d’Este, the 5-95 – the name recalls the 50 years anniversary of the Bull and the 95 years of the Milanese Atelier – is based on the model that turned Lamborghini from a niche manufacturer to a large industrial concern: the Gallardo.
The Lamborghini 5-95 Zagato, all in carbon fibre, expresses the values that are typical of an ‘instant classic’, a fascinating and rare car that is considered a collector’s item right from the start. Built on the basis of the Gallardo LP570-4, it was created through the collaboration of Milan-based coachbuilder Zagato and Lamborghini. It was unveiled at the 2014 Villa d’Este Concours d’Elegance on a commission from entrepreneur Albert Spiess, a great collector and fan of the Bolognese brand. The car has a rounded silhouette, with the classic rounded roof, which has become a stylistic feature of the Milanese coachbuilder, with a line reminiscent of the Lamborghini Raptor, on the latter there was an oval air intake, also taken up on the 5-95.
