Aventador 'Miura Homage' special edition

Lamborghini celebrates 50 years of its most famous model with, er, some gold paint and a badge

Everyone knows the Miura. Even if you don't care a great deal about cars, you will be aware of the Miura. One of the prettiest cars ever made and arguably the template for the modern supercar, it's a massively significant car in Lamborghini's history.

It's also now 50 years old, an occasion being celebrated by Sant'Agata with the Aventador 'Miura Homage Special Edition'. Mechanically identical to the LP700-4, it's distinguished by paint with suitably dramatic Italian names that evoke the Miura. This car is Rosso Arancia Miura, with Verde Scandal and Blu Tahiti also available amongst the six colours. All the Homage cars will have the contrasting lower sill, plus Dione rims (20-inch front, 21-inch rear) in either matt silver or gold. There's also a 'Miura 50th' logo on that lower sill, because what's a limited edition without a logo?

Inside there's a choice of either Nero Ade or Terra Emilia leather with "tone-on-tone" stitching and a standard carbon fibre package. That logo is stitched into the seats as well, with 'Lamborghini' embroidered on the dashboard.

As you might have guessed, Lamborghini will make just 50 Miura Homage Aventadors. We're told "the majority" have already been sold, so best be quick if you do want one. It will be on display at Goodwood this weekend for a closer look too. Price? Most likely of the "if you have to ask..." variety.
