The Lamborghini 5-95 Zagato is a limited production car based on a Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4.

It was introduced by Zagato at the 2014 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este for the coachbuilder's 95th and Lamborghini's 50th anniversaries. [3] The exact number of cars produced is unknown, [4] but some suggest that the name of the car hints towards 5 units to celebrate 95th anniversary of Zagato. [5] It was commissioned by car collector Albert Spiess. [6] [7] The price tag of the car was over $1 million USD. [8] The car's design recalls the 1996 Zagato Raptor with its double bubble roof and roof scoop. In 2018, a Spyder version was released on Zagato's website. [9]

Power-to-weight ratio is a calculation commonly applied to engines and mobile power sources to enable the comparison of one unit or design to another. Power-to-weight ratio is a measurement of actual performance of any engine or power source. It is also used as a measurement of performance of a vehicle as a whole, with the engine's power output being divided by the weight of the vehicle, to give a metric that is independent of the vehicle's size. Power-to-weight is often quoted by manufacturers at the peak value, but the actual value may vary in use and variations will affect performance.
