A lime cream masterpiece with tough-guy haunches and a broad back that has power written all over it, the Lamborghini Miura concept was created by a team led by Audi Group chief of design, Walter de’ Silva, and is a remake of Lamborghini’s most legendary car of the sixties. In production from 1966 – 1972, the original Miura celebrated its 40th anniversary last year, but will likely get new life by the end of 2007. If made into a production car, the Miura will likely ride on the chassis of the Audi R8. Concept specs call for an all-wheel-drive setup, a base price of around $800,000, and a powertrain driven by a 6.5-liter, 700-horsepower V12 engine with a sequential 7-speed automatic transmission. As such, the Miura will do battle with the likes of the Ferrari Enzo.
