Lamborghini designers used the 1966 P400 Miura and the original Miura as guidlines for creating the 2009 Miura. It was said that the P400 was the sexiest vehicle that Lamborghini ever created. Which means that we can expect great things from the newest Miura. Walter de Silva, cheif designer for Lamborghini, gave the new Miura a more modern look for the younger consumers.

The chin features aerodynamic winglets, resulting in a somewhat more contrived front-end appearance than the lovely original. But de Silva’s design also has many nice aspects, including exquisitely detailed head- and taillights, wraparound front glass, brushed metal louvers over the engine, and four of the largest tailpipes we’ve ever seen.

Although the show car isn’t a runner, it was designed on the Gallardo’s platform with production feasibility in mind. If the response to the concept is amply enthusiastic, look for the Miura as a 2008 or 2009 model with a 6.5-liter version of the Murcielago’s V-12 engine.

While the original Miura’s motor was transversely mounted, the new one would have a more conventional longitudinal configuration. Expect more than 650 hp and a price north of $350,000 if and when the Miura appears.
