Lamborghini has hosted its very own Concours d’Elegance.
Held in Neuchâtel, Switzerland this past weekend, the Lamborghini Concours d’Elegance gathered some of the rarest exotics ever created by the Italian automaker. One of the highlights of the show for many was seeing the Marzal in person, a concept car that first debuted at the 1967 Geneva Motor Show. There were plenty of classic Miuras, Countachs, and Espadas joined by more obscure Lamborghini models like the Jarama, Jalpa, 350, 400GT, and the massive LM002. The company’s current models were also present of course, including the Veneno Roadster and a number of Aventadors.

The Italian automaker said the event was dedicated to Le Corbusier, a Swiss-French architect who is considered one of the pioneers of modern architecture. The Lamborghini Concours d’Elegance was organized through the company’s Polo Storico and like other Concours events, there was an awards ceremony that included the selection for Best of Show, a green Miura SV owned by Japanese collector Ezio Tomita.
The event also crowned a “Best of the best,” which went to the one-off Marzal that has been recovered and perfectly restored. And the prize? A full-scale reproduction of the famous Modulor, the man of ideal proportions created by Le Corbusier as a reference for his building and furniture designs.
