Remember the Lamborghini 5-95 that Zagato revealed this spring at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este? Of course you do, since it looked like a bottom-feeding fish and cost a fortune to built.
The car was ordered by lbert Spiess, one of the most significant Lambo collectors in the world. But it seems Zagato has orders for more. Photos of a second model, this time in yellow, have emerged on the web with mention of three more on the way.
This photo set was posted on Facebook a few days ago by Farhan Al Bastaki, who works for Zagato Middle East and says unit number 2 of 5 is "leaving the Zagato facility in Milano on her way to meet her lucky collector."
To be honest though, it's not that ugly and we can understand why a seasoned car collector could appreciate this thing. But when the new Huracan looks so cool and probably costs half as much, which bother with a re-bodied Gallardo?
The Italian coachbuilder put the 5-95 together using the bones of a Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 in order to celebrate the 95th anniversary of the Zagato brand. Andea Zagato, Ugo Zagato's grandson and the CEO of the company says this car is the Gallardo was chosen for this project because it's the most important Lambo in history and a great starting point from an engineering standpoint.
Skilled craftsman in Milano have completely stripped down the old V10 supercar and added their own design. Highlight include a double bubble roof and a large air intake stretching over the roof to the engine bay. Blacked out roof pillars and heavily tinted roof glass give the impression of a wraparound greenhouse dome.
Pricing for this unique brand of Italian design was never revealed, but considering it's based on an already expensive supercar, half a million euros doesn't seem all that unreasonable.
