Lamborghini Miura Concept

[altspace]

Talk of a new Lamborghini Miura has been cirgling for some time, and here it is: the Lamborghini Miura Concept! De Silva has penned a very nice tribute to Marcello Gandini, who designed the original, almost mythical, Miura, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the "most Lamborghini" of all.

We are wating for more detail, to see whether it's the umpteenth "operation retrò" concept, or if there's some substance to it. Da Silva has concentrated on a maniacal clean-up operation to get good aerodynamics and deportance from the Miura form factor. More details are expected after the official debut at the Detroit auto show. If produced, the Miura might be the low-end model, in which case, Lamborghini would have to build a new factory, and ditch that crazy talk about "1.900 Lambos a year are plenty enough".

Looks good.

The orginal is sexier, though. :D

I don't like it. Doesn't even look like a Lambo. The traditional wheels are non-existent and it looks like a stingray. For $200,000+? No way.

Hey those rims look like Bigwoofer's... (bling)

[pro00]

i don't like it. none of the lambo's character in it. but, it is still the concept.

It looks exactly like a Lambo should, low and lean, sexy as hell. It's not drawing on the lines established by the Countach, but from the original Miura.

[Pretzellogic]

What do you guys mean it doesn't look like a Lambo?

Pretzellogic, it just looks like an american muscle car. Doesn't look italian at all. Doesn't look Lambo at all. Maybe because I fell in love with the murcielago style, gallardo and diablo. This one I do not like.

wow.. a ford gt and a 911 had a baby

I don't hate it, but then again I never liked the original much either. I don't like these retro rehashes of oldies( Mustang=yuck, Charger= a bad joke etc). It does have the original design throughout it for sure if you are into it.

looks like a kit car

The old one and the new one look very similar. I like it.
