  | Re: Lamborghini Miura Lamborghini won't build Miura or other retro cars Lamborghini will not build any retro-themed vehicles in the foreseeable future, according to CEO Stephan Winkelmann. "Retro design is not what we are here for. So we won’t do the Miura, even as a limited edition," Mr. Winkelmann told the U.K.'s Car magazine. And old designs aren't the only thing the Italian automaker will be leaving in the past. The company also won't resurrect retired nameplates, according to Winkelmann. He said spiritual successors to the the Espada or LM002 could be built, but they would go by new names. Lamborghini unveiled the Miura concept in January at the Detroit auto show. After its showing, Winkelmann said the Miura could be built in limited numbers as a special edition model. It seems those plans will never materialize. Source: LLN

| Lambo Miura Spyder    While Lamborghini teases us with snippets of the all-new model it’ll be taking to the Paris motor show, pictures of a restored icon have been revealed. It’s the Lamborghini Bertone Miura Spyder, a beautiful one-off show car that was crafted forty years ago by Bertone before being revealed to Ferruccio Lamborghini at the 1968 Brussels auto salon. It was based on a standard Miura Berlinetta, but as an open-top was deemed impossible for production due to chassis issues. After a tour of the year’s motor shows, it crawled off into obscurity. It has since changed hands several times, until it was bought by a New York property developer in December 2006. They had it fully (and expensively) restored to its original Brussels format of light metallic blue with off-white leather interior. The car had been finished in green when Lamborghini got its hands on it, but the new owner has happily returned it to Bertone’s intended specification. That rumoured four-door concept has a lot to live up to... Lambo Miura Spyder | evo News | News | evo M

 | Re: Lambo Miura Spyder Auto-erotic! (I'm beginning to sound like Jules  )This thing is such an icon of the late '60s -- it oozes sex and "free love" Of course, I wasn't actually alive at that time .....but objects like the Miura capture the spirit of that time.
