Rare Lamborghini Pregunta Set to Fetch Record Price at Auction
A uniquely styled Lamborghini Pregunta, the only one of its kind ever produced, is igniting a frenzy among collectors as it heads to auction. The one-off concept car,unveiled just a month after Audi’s acquisition of Lamborghini in 1998,is expected to command a meaningful price,perhaps setting a new benchmark for Lamborghini collectibles.
The Pregunta represents a pivotal moment in Lamborghini’s history,bridging the gap between its independent past and its integration into the Volkswagen Group. Inspired by the French Dassault Rafale fighter jet, the Pregunta’s design-characterized by a matte gray lacquer and a cockpit-like windshield-foreshadowed the aesthetic direction of future Lamborghini models like the Murciélago and Gallardo. Its upcoming sale offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of automotive history that directly influenced the brand’s modern design language.
The Pregunta boasts a 5.7-liter V12 engine,borrowed from the Diablo,tuned to deliver 530 horsepower. Power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission, offering a distinctly old-school driving experience despite its high-tech interior featuring Magnetti Marelli digital instruments, optical fiber lighting, and rear cameras.
Lamborghini presented the Pregunta as a conceptual vehicle, and it served as a crucial stepping stone in the company’s evolution. The auction is anticipated to draw bids from prominent collectors worldwide, eager to secure this singular example of Lamborghini’s design and engineering prowess.
