Lamborghini Miura Nuovo Design Study: Something Old, Something New
The name Miura conjures up images of Lamborghini's original V12 bad boy, considered one of the most beautiful cars in history. Even Lamborghini couldn't ignore it forever, bringing it back in modernized concept form in 2006. Marco van Overbeeke, a designer from the Holland, is determined to bring it back.
Enter the Lamborghini Miura Nuovo, meant to be a "contemporary interpretation of [a] traditional archetype"; that means a mid-rear V12 with seating for two. Could something like this work as a new Lamborghini halo car?If consumers had anything to say about it, the answer's probably yes. People DID dish out exorbitant amounts of dough for the Reventon, re-skinned Murcielago.
Only one problem: Lamborghini CEO Stefan Winkelmann says, "Lamborghini is about the future...So we won't do the Miura." Too bad.
Not to go against the head honcho or anything, but what about using heritage-inspired cues on a Ferrari California competitor? That may just be the ticket to a little brand variety. Seems to be working fine for Ferrari.
