Not bad, but the original was one of the best looking cars ever, in my opinion..

Seems like after the Miura, Lambo couldn't make a good looking car. The Countach was kind of ugly.

hehe the COuntach was seriously ugly
I didn't really like lambos till the Murcielago and the Gallardo came along
Although I do like the old ones..the Miura and that 4 seater one that I cna't remebner the name of right now.
Oh I forgot the Jalpa was a great looking car too

Doug, the name of the 4-seat Lamborghini was the Espada. I too think the Miura is one of the, if not the most beautiful car ever designed. I too heard that they were coming back with one, that would be the equivalent of the Enzo. I hope they do the car justice.

More original Miura goodness:


come to think of it, the GT40 resembles a Miura, I guess because they were from the same late '60s era...

I'm iffy on the new design. I like some of it like the side and the stance.

But I'm not too keen on the hood vents. I know, I know, the original Muira had them and they look great on the original but the positioning of the vents on the new design just aren't doing anything for me.

yeah... that's an artist rendering that was in the January road and track. It says there that the new Miura will be built alongside the R8 from audi using an "evolution" of the guallardo chassis. It says it'll get a murcielago V-12 bored out to 6.5L, making 700hp and 554lb-ft, rear biased Quattro.... They also say it'll get a simple "retro" interior, doing away with many electronic gizmos.

Also, about the 4 seater, Feb's Motor Trend says Lambo's given the green light to the new Espada... front engine 2+2 coupe:



hopefully they'll make it a bit prettier than that one. And the 4x4? hehehe... yeah....

I do like the Uracco. Very sleek classic design . . . has a Mangusta feel to it or vice versa.
