Data on the Lamborghini Miura Concept

posted: Thursday 05 January 2006 by Luca in: Coupe Lamborghini Concept Cars

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].
