The unusual and unique Lamborghini Raptor (Chassis Number: P06) concept supercar designed by Zagato is being offered for sale during Pebble Beach week by The Blackhawk Collection.

Zagato launched the dramatic new sportscar on the occasion of the 1996 Geneva Motor Show. A World Premier, the attention-grabbing Raptor was a provocative styling proposal which was powered by Lamborghini's classic V12 engine.

The car features a novel modular cockpit lay-out with a front-hinged, one-piece greenhouse section which includes the doors, windscreen and the company's famous double-bubble roofline. From a traditional two-seater coupe, the Raptor can be transformed into a two-seater Barchetta. Following on in Zagato's long tradition of memorable show cars, the Raptor is no mere dream car, but a thoroughly practical and feasible production proposition.

The Zagato Styling Centre (SZ Design) developed the Raptor in order to ensure it could be built as a limited series. From the innovative tubular and box-section chassis to the exciting interior styling, the Raptor is a concentration of advanced design and engineering. Fully certifiable for the road, this ultra-high performance, mid-engined sports coupe uses a powerful 5.7 liter V-12 driving all four wheels. Lamborghini carried out tests on the Raptor, after which it appeared at Pebble Beach Concours celebrating the Zagato marque.

The Raptor is being offered as one of 85 cars being offered for exposition sale by The Blackhawk Collection at the Peter Hay Golf Course during the Pebble Beach Concours week from tomorrow.
