1967 Lamborghini Marzal
The Lamborghini Marzal is a concept car unveiled by Lamborghini at the 1967 Geneva Motor Show. It was designed by Marcello Gandini of Bertone, and like any other Lamborghini models, it was named after a strain of fighting bull. The Marzal was never put into production, but some of its design cues were used in the future Espada. As this is a one-of model it should not surprise you the fact that it was auctioned for an impressive €1.512.000, or about $2,100,000 at the current exchange rates.
The Marzal is powered by a transversely mounted 175 HP in-line six-cylinder which was essentially half of the Miura engine, the V-12 was cut in half lengthwise, and was mated to a standard five-speed transmission. The concept was built on a modified Miura chassis, extended by 120 mm in order to accommodate the extra two passengers.
A very impressive feature of the concept is a pair of long gullwing doors that were used instead of the usual four-door layout. But Ferruccio Lamborghini wasn’t very pleased about this kind of doors: "offer no privacy: a lady’s legs would be there for all to see."This feature offered the possibility of using windows which, combined with a lightly smoked glass roof, helped create a very airy feeling inside the cabin. The interior features a a hexagonal honeycomb theme on the dashboard and center console housing most instruments and controls.

Champagne corks are popping at Lamborghini. The exotic marque has announced that the 10,000th Gallardo has rolled off the assembly line here, bound for an owner in China.
The 10,000th Gallardo is a "Midas" yellow model that will be showcased during Lamborghini Day in Shanghai on June 25 before being handed over to its new, unidentified owner.
Lamborghini said the Gallardo "has become the most successful Lamborghini model of all time." The original Gallardo coupe was launched in 2003, followed by the Spyder and Superleggera models, as well as special editions such as the Gallardo SE and Nera.
