to create yet another exclusive vehicle that will be officially unveiled at this year's Concorso d' Eleganza Villa d'Este. The 5-95 ZagatoLamborghini 5-95 by ZagatoItaly, 2014 > present has been specially created for the famous collector Albert Spiess.

"I always appreciated the ability of Zagato to create timeless lines with a forceful visual impact," said Spiess "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," said the collector.

Celebrating its 95th anniversary this year, Zagato once again surprised by turning such a characteristic vehicle into a completely different car. Reactions have been mixed, some people like it a lot, but there are those who hate it.

The Lamborghini 5-95 by Zagato was developed based on a Gallardo LP 570-4Lamborghini Gallardo LP 5...Italy, 2010 > present5 photos
and includes the same V10 engine of the production model of the Italian brand.

Despite softer lines, which could bring it closer to the new Huracán, the Zagato 5-95 does not look like the Gallardo nor with the latest model of Lamborghini. The front with wider fenders and a grille with rounded edges, totally runs away from the style of the Italian brand. As always, Zagato added its trademark design cue, the bubble roof. The rear gets a larger air inlet covered by a shiny black mesh and four tailpipes integrated into the bumper.

Andrea Zagato justified the choice of the Gallardo "for being the most amazing project in the history of Lamborghini, perfect in engineering terms, that has brought the image of ‘the Bull’ from a ‘cottage industry’ to a worldwide major industrial reality."

This is not the first time Lamborghini and Zagato have work together in partnership. The first happened 50 years ago with the Lamborghini 3500 GTZ. Since then the collaboration extended to two DiabloLamborghini DiabloItaly, 1990 > 20019 versions
