The Lamborghini Marco Polo, also called the Italdesign Marco Polo, was a styling exercise by Italdesign Giugiaro, introduced at the 1982 Bologna Motor Show. It was inspired by the Lancia Medusa concept and had first been drawn for a DeLorean DMC-24 sedan, but DMC ran out of money and Italdesign recycled the design as a concept for Lamborghini. It is not a running prototype but a painted plastic model for aerodynamic research, with a drag coefficient of 0.24 against the Medusa's 0.26. A four-seater with two gull-wing doors like those of the Marzal, it was drawn for quietness and efficiency rather than aggression, and the badge on the nose was only a homage to the brand.
