Marco Polo
BRAND: Lamborghini
MODEL: Marco Polo
YEAR: 1982
BODY TYPE: Sedan
POWER SUPPLY: Combustion
CATEGORY: Concept car
DESIGNER: Giorgetto Giugiaro
Giugiaro chose to model the surface areas laying emphasis on aerodynamic needs rather than referring to those suggestions of shape so typical of Lamborghini. Although the Emilia manufacturer has a decidedly exciting and captivating image, the designer preferred to give a less aggressive and pronounced interpretation, but one more functional and consistent to increase performance in speed with the same fuel consumption and to make the passenger compartment quieter by taking away the aerodynamic noise. The evolution in respect to the Medusa, from which the Marco Polo clearly draws its inspiration, can be found both in the dimensional and aerodynamic aspects. Constituting the most evident design difference are the four doors, substituted on the Marco Polo by two gullwing doors that open onto both the front and back seats.
