Why it matters
The Marzal was Bertone's four-seat gullwing show car of 1967, with a huge glass area and a transverse inline-six derived from half of the Miura's V12. Ferruccio Lamborghini rejected it as too extravagant, but it led to the Espada production car.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.
Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.
02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionChassis 10001 (engine 5001), the only Marzal built; sold at Villa d'Este 2011 | 12 | Surviving examples | Independently researched |
| Total model productionOne-off show car, chassis 10001 ('One-off Lamborghini four seat, gullwing concept') | 11 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Marcello Gandini proposed the P200 Marzal at Bertone on an extended Miura chassis. Bertone built the finished one-off in its own workshop after the first concept's chassis collapsed under the weight of the glass. It was unveiled at the Geneva show in March 1967 as a joint project of Bertone and Lamborghini.
