    I'm looking for pictures or info of one of the Evolizione's.

    It is the protoype with cass.nr. 50253.

    Maybe there are pictures of it before it became a evoluzione and maybe someone has pictures of it afther is became a evoluzione.

    Not sure that anyone here except maybe Marcel has kept track of the remaining GTO Evos by serial number. I believe only 4 of 5 remain. And I thought they were all built as 288 GTO Evoluziones, not as any other previous chassis.

    These are the only listed serial numbers, all beginning with a 7:

    70167 The only GTO Evo fitted with Tipo F114CR engine, F40 development car
    70205 Standard GTO engine, F40 development car
    79887
    79888
    79889

    There are a few threads here on FChat on this car if you do a "search".

    This one was at Pebble Beach this past August (Michael Gregg Photo):

    Just to be pedantic, the proper name for these cars is "GTO Evoluzione".

    There is no "288" in the name!

    Do you know how it should sound or ever heard a 288 GTO engine on a test bench?

    Probably. Pictures of this car were in the January 1987 issue of Auto Motor und Sport and the story clearly states it was the only car in existence at the time.

    Guessing these are the same two cars spotted in a dealers showroom in Tokyo over on pistonheads. I assume this is Bingo Sports?

    I don’t mind admitting thinking ‘oh no that poor Miura, what have they done?’

    I’ll get my coat.

    The so-called Lamborghini Miura “SVR” #3781. Joe Sackey can chime in.
