Lamborghini Marzal concept (1967)
Concept car · 1967 · Combustion
Gullwing glass doors and a hexagon-obsessed four-seater.
The Marzal was a Bertone concept designed by Marcello Gandini to explore a true four-seat Lamborghini, famous for its huge glazed gull-wing doors and pervasive hexagonal motif in the wheels, rear window and interior. Built on a stretched Miura-derived chassis, it used a transverse 2.0-litre inline-six (essentially half a Miura V12) making about 175 bhp. Prince Rainier III and Princess Grace drove it on the parade lap before the 1967 Monaco Grand Prix.
