Lamborghini Marzal Concept

Designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone and unveiled at the 1967 Geneva Motor Show, the Marzal concept was a radical departure for Lamborghini. The four-seat coupe featured enormous gullwing doors, extensive glass surfaces including a glass engine cover, and distinctive silver paint with red leather interior. Powered by an inline-six engine (essentially half of the Miura's V12), the Marzal showcased Bertone's vision for a practical yet exotic Lamborghini. While never produced, the Marzal's design language heavily influenced the Espada production car and established design themes used throughout the 1970s.

The sole Marzal prototype is not for sale and remains in the Bertone collection. As one of the most significant automotive concept cars of the 1960s, it would be priceless if ever offered. Any claims of a Marzal for sale should be verified against known provenance - only one was ever built.

Single prototype built in 1967 by Bertone in collaboration with Lamborghini. The car famously served as the pace car for the 1967 Monaco Grand Prix driven by Prince Rainier and Princess Grace. After its show car duties, the Marzal was retained by Bertone and later restored. It remains in Bertone's collection.
