Lamborghini Espada

Compare Espada factory series and follow the Marzal’s influence on Lamborghini’s four-seater.

What to check before buying

Confirm the chassis, wheelbase and series against the factory record. Inspect body repairs and ask for invoices covering the V12, cooling system, and interior.

The Bertone Marzal was a concept predecessor to the Espada. Its auction belongs with the individual show car’s history.
