Walter de Silva's retro homage to the original Miura.
The Miura Concept was the first Lamborghini design penned by Walter de Silva, created to mark the 40th anniversary of the original 1966 Miura's Geneva debut. Unveiled in Los Angeles in January 2006 and shown days later at Detroit, it reinterpreted the classic mid-engine silhouette in modern form. A styling showcase rather than a driveable prototype, it was never intended for production, with Lamborghini emphasising it as a tribute to the marque's heritage.
