And now just a few Alps to arrange, and the cassette MP4 of Matt Monro’s on days like these to look up…

The Lamborghini Miura, designed by the immortal Marcello Gandini when the best man the 30 still had not reached, is generally considered to be one of the most beautiful cars ever. Especially the profile of the car with its sweeping forms is a dream.

The Miura was a trendsetter in the field of mid-engine-sports cars, and a huge change compared to luxury GT’s, and tractors of the brand at that time is made. You could say that the Miura is the raison d’être of Lamborghini confirmed. It was the ancestor of the legendary direct descendants as the Countach, Diablo, Murciélago, and the Aventador. To the Murciélago (driving test) was the basis of the engine, where the pistons move up and down in the sequence 1-7-4-10-2-8-6-12-3-9-5-11, even be traced back to the block of the Miura. In the Miura was the V12 still across the back placed. Therefore, the model is officially referred to as P400, which stood for Posterior plus a reference to the engine capacity of four liters. From the Countach was the engine in the longitudinal direction back placed, later referred to by the term LP, for Longitidunale Posterior.

Now it is 50 years since the first Miura was produced. This is the reason why Lamborghini with this homage to the OG-Lambo supercar based on the Aventador, called Aventador Miura Homage’. Under the skin is a normal Aventador with 700 horsepower, but the Ad Personam division of Lamborghini has the car a special appearance given. The upper bull is recognizable by its two-tone color scheme reminiscent of the…euhm…Miura. Also the gold ‘Dione rims’ care for the old-school vibe, although they are also in matzilver available.

The tribute is on display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. There will be 50 copies were built, but most of them are already sold. Pitch you so fast to the dealer if you will this beef in your barn to convert.
