The official announcement of the Lamborghini Miura Concept has come out (other photos in the previous post). At the moment, it’s not expected that it will go into production, but I think that a groundswell of public appreciation might convince Lambo otherwise.
Purists will be horrified to discover that the engine is in a lengthwise position (in the original it was in a crosswise position!) and that it has a 4 wheel drive.

The new Miura has grown quite a bit with respect to the original: it’s 4,59 meters long, 1,99 meters wide and 1,20 meters high (against 4,35 m / 1,80 m / 1,07 m). The engine is the Murcielago’s V12 (6.2 liters capacity, 580 hp).

Seems to me that they could have been a bit more courageous than taking the Miura’s body, blowing it up and cleaning it up a bit and then putting it on the Murcielago’s platform … Oops, I was forgetting the carbon fiber front spoiler and the in-mirror led direction indicators … [From Auto Motor und Sport].
