Miura, the original supercar

sorry guys but i like it.
needs to lose those gay little side corner splitters on the front and "de bling" the wheels and itd be great

 

Chaos,
of course it looks good - but the original was a milestone in automotive history. To copy history was never good in the past (apart from the new Mini). The designers today have a very tough job. To get a new benchmark-design is today -IMO- not possible anymore!

Ciao!

Leave the Miura and go on designing new cars . . . Murci gets an SV version. So within a year or 3 we might see a new model?

 

Agreed. The Miura is an automotive one-and-only.

it is not in the brand spirit to bring old cars to life
i hope they will not come out with the new miura (or a new countach)

 

Something doesn't look right on this front grill.

The upper lip of the opening is round. This destroys completly the wonderful lines the Miura had. Another proof for the genius job Bertone did and that only few can replace/repair it in the same way.

The chap who worked on that car clearly could NOT!

It's a little fish mouthed, but in person, it's still impressive.

 

A face only a mother would love.

 

It's a fish, no it's a horse, no it's a bull

Yes.

I like the 6.0 behind it!

 

can you post some up then pls

 

No, unfortunately.

The current owner would have a hissy fit of monumental proportions. I personally have never understood what the big deal is about keeping a car (essentially an item licensed for public road use) secret. Clearly there is an issue that he wishes kept from scrutiny.

At least the saga of its dual back-and-forth identity is not as bad as the cloud that follows 5110 in my opinion, a Miura that comes complete with fake non-original dash plaque that proclaims a false last-of-series status.

The yellow jalpa (jla12419) at the factory museum is the same, it says last jalpa, but nonsense, it's JLA12420 which is the last one, there is also a confirmation letter of Ubaldo Sgarzi with the car saying that JLA12420 is the last ever built Jalpa.

 

Raymond, it is good that in the last 10 years some of these 'storied' cars have been exposed, and in the case of 5110 it is NOT the last Miura by some 4 cars! Lucky for all of us Ingrid Pussich's original list survives...

how pathetic, its a bl**dy car and a historic one at that
oh well cheers anyways Joe (obviously not your fault) just would have been nice to see it

 

Go to the www.lamborghiniregistry.com. There are some there. You have no idea how many people contact websites and whine: "Take the pictures of my car off!"

For the most part they are simply ignored.
