Yep, this is a replica of the real Lamborghini Miura Jota SV Jota. On the basis of a real Miura!

The story of the Lamborghini Miura Jota SVJ is hopelessly sad. In short was there ever one Miura converted to racing specifications by test driver Bob Wallace from New Zealand. Lamborghini had hired him for the test of the Miura, but after those tests wanted Bob nothing more than a race-spec Miura build.

He was not under the official Lamborghini flag, so he did it himself. The result was the Miura SV Jota, 800 kilogram in weight and 440 hp from a 3.9-litre V12. For comparison: the fastest Miura that Lamborghini was built was the P400SV, with 380 hp.

The story ends as said less beautiful. A mechanic wants to impress his girlfriend, a few years later. He crashes the SVJ goes up in flames and that was the end of the bruutste Miura ever built. Ferrucio Lamborghini forbade Wallace for such a beast of a Miura to build, and that was the end of it.

But now there is an SV Jota replica appeared, on the basis of the Miura chassis number 3781. There were a number of Miura’s (it is unclear how many) equipped with a J-spec package, and this is one of those a little further converted to be closer to the original. The result is an extremely accurate copy that Lamborghini Miura Jota SVR is baptized. For the lovers: he is on sale in Japan, where the Miura forty years of residence. The car has a very easy life, there is only 3264 miles driven. Price on request.
