Lamborghini 5-95 2014

[swynder]

Look at what Italian design and coach-building house did to a Lamborghini Gallardo for one very special client. The one-off production car is named the Lamborghini 5-95 by Zagato and it will be displayed for the first time at this weekend's 2014 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este at Lake Como in Italy.
The 5-95 is an official collaboration between Lamborghini and Zagato and it was commissioned by Albert Spiess, who is described as "one of the most significant Lamborghini collectors" in the world, on the occasion of the Italian design firm's 95th birthday (1919 – 2014).

Using Lamborghini's Gallardo LP570-4 as a creative base, Zagato re-did the entire exterior of the Italian supercar.

That is awful! It has Aston Martin One-77 at the front and an Alfa Romeo and McLaren MP4-12C at the rear.

It was actually based on the Spiker Zagato... Odd i don´t see any lines from those cars in here... I see Spiker and a tiny bit of Exige/Évora.

Exactly ... the Spyker is very visible.

Lamborghini 5-95 Zagato Coupe '14

​

This project is based on an official collaboration between Automobili Lamborghini and Zagato, with the purpose of creating a real contemporary collectible car.

Based on the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 , considered as the best-selling Lamborghini in history, the 5-95 Zagato is essentially a new aesthetic look of the Gallardo LP570-4, designed by Zagato to evoke an instant classic look that shows the purest expression of Zagato’s unique coach-building skills.

One of the most prominent design characteristics of the 5-95 Zagato is the completely reworked front section, specifically the round front fender that eliminated the two air intakes the Gallardo had. The intakes are still there, but in a different configuration than what we’re used to. Likewise, the integrated headlights draw similarities from the Gallardo, except that the 5-95 does look like it has a more elaborate lighting set-up.

A floating spoiler on the front section is also a new addition, something Zagato described as taking inspiration from another Zagato-built Lamborghini seen back in 1996: the Raptor.

Notice also those side intakes, which normally are bigger than what they are now. Zagato reduced those intakes by adding an air scoop on the roof to help in the cooling chores to the intake manifold.

Spoiler: Press Release:

This project is based on an official collaboration between Automobili Lamborghini and Zagato, with the purpose of creating a real contemporary collectible car.

In 1965 Marquis Gerino Gerini was the promoter of the first Zagato-bodied Lamborghini, the 3500 GTZ, a "fuoriserie" based on the 350 GT mechanics. Nearly 50 years later Albert Spiess, one of the most significant Lamborghini worldwide collectors, gave Zagato the chance to dress the most successful model of all time in the Bull's company history, in order to create a modern collectible car: the Lamborghini 5-95.

Albert Spiess boasts an unprecedented collection including several one-offs and Lamborghini first cars, as well as some Zagato collectibles - instant classics - like Alfa Romeo S.Z. (1990) and R.Z. (1993), Aston Martin V8 Zagato (1985) and V12 Zagato (2012). He commissioned to the Milanese Atelier a modern collectible car on the occasion of the celebration of 95 years of Zagato (1919 - 2014).

The Milanese Atelier transformed the model that revolutionized Lamborghini's history into a contemporary collectible. The Lamborghini 5-95 Zagato is based on the Gallardo LP570-4, the best seller in the first 50 years of Sant'Agata's company (1963-2013).

Zagato maintained all the technical constraints of the original project but has re-interpreted them according to its philosophy oriented towards functionalism and rationalism - typical values of the Milanese school.

The Zagato body expresses the typical key values of an "instant classic": fascinating, rare and a pure expression of the brands it stands for. The 5-95 was created with the only limitation of active and passive safety witch are the value of the donor car.

Andrea Zagato: "We have chosen the Gallardo because it is the most sensational project in Lamborghini's history. An extraordinary car, perfect in engineering terms, that has brought the image of 'the Bull' from a 'cottage industry' to a worldwide major industrial reality. The Gallardo production figures exceeded the whole Lamborghini production since its foundation."

Albert Spiess: "I always appreciated the ability of Zagato to create timeless lines with a forceful visual impact. I believe that a sensual design inspired by nature, together with the best technology, strike a perfect balance that is possible to achieve only in Italy. The 5-95 will be a fundamental piece of my collection."

Best looking Lamborghini since the Miura. That said, I'm still not moved by it.

...Worst looking Lamborghini since the...beginning of time itself. That said, I'm definitely NOT moved by it.

I think that the Egoista concept is much worse looking than this, it reminds me of a Hot Wheels and that's not a good thing.

The Sogna is also another terrible looking Lambo.

Worst Lamborghini I have ever seen (that Sogna comes a very close second).
