Special edition Revuelto pays homage to Miura

It's the 60th anniversary of the original supercar - Lamborghini supplies 99 reasons to be happy


No sooner do we mention the North American jamboree that is Monterey Car Week, than another constituent is announced. Behold the Revuelto Miura 60° Homage, a 99-example special edition that Lamborghini will show in California next week. Don’t be surprised if the manufacturer has something more dramatic to reveal - boss Stephan Winkelmann has previously described the event as among the most important dates in the Lamborghini calendar - but for now we get a car that is mostly a product of its bespoke Ad Personam programme. 

Consequently, we’re talking predominantly here about light-touch cosmetic alterations. Well, entirely actually. But when the subject of your homage is the 60th birthday of arguably the world’s first mid-engined supercar - and easily ranks as one of the best looking ever made - who are we to argue with Lamborghini’s source of inspiration? The Miura looks spectacular in virtually any colour, though nine from back in the day have been made available for new buyers: Rosso Arancio, Arancio, Giallo, Verde Scandal, Verde Metallic, Blu Tahiti, Blu Notte, Nero Noctis and Bianco Monocerus. 

To further gild the lily, there is also the choice of two liveries, which owe their appearance to the contrasting colour you often find on lower body sections of the Miura. Thus you can have Oro Elios livery paired with Altanero Shiny Gold wheels, or the Grigio Nimbus livery combined with Altanero Matt Titanium Diamond wheels. Decisions, decisions. To polish things off, you get a dedicated Miura 60 logo, on the sill adjacent to the rear arch, and a gloss black Lambo badge to go with your matte black tailpipes. 

"With the Revuelto Miura 60° Homage, we wanted to create a special series capable of celebrating a milestone in our history through an exclusive interpretation of our V12 HPEV super sports car," noted Winkelmann. "For our collectors and customers, exclusivity means authenticity, rarity and lasting emotional value: the Revuelto Miura 60° Homage has been created precisely with this philosophy." No word on how much this all costs, of course - though, if you have to ask…

Another manufacturer happy to fire out AI slop and CGI images.

Yes, I'd well imagine that getting hold of a Muira in each colour would have been terribly difficult and a logistical nightmare, but these images just look awful. Presumably they use the same ad agency as Maserati for the AI advert they pushed out.

Sadly, Verde Miura didn't make the cut, my fave Miura colour.

Not normally a fan of blue cars but the Revuelto in the first pic looks incredible.

Renderings somehow manage to look like they’re from the Thomas the Tank Engine set?

Muira never really done it for me.
I was always more a Countach person maybe it’s my age.

Also recent piece on evo driving an original Ford gt and making a case for that being the original supercar, what with it being launched 2 years earlier …. If they had just got a few of road versions on to the road instead of worrying about those pesky I-talians and that darned race in France

I was thinking exactly the same thing.
That blue makes me somehow warm and fuzzy inside.

Love the car, such presence and drama!
Best supercar on the market below 1M at the moment for me.

New/old colours are hardly a special edition.

You can always buy one of these. And no leccy motors - just a v12

They could have least given the side windows an aero cover to mimic the profile of the Miura a little more closely.

Same. Miura is an overrated bit of design in my eyes, Countach was an aesthetic slap in the face in its pure, original form. Outrageous elegance...

Just makes you feel they've given up; super expensive cars and peanuts spent on the marketing. Not a good look.

TX.

Thanks, that looks right up my street, just the 449,995 reasons why I can't.

Looks are clearly very subjective, to me the Miura is one of the best looking cars ever.

The 911 trick - paint, badge, more mugs buying. So very lazy.

And the Revuelto, and even the Revuelto Muira, looks a lot more like a Countach than a Muira. And it is not just skin-deep - the Revuelto has a longitudinal engine like the Countach.

For me the Miura is the most beautiful car ever made, the Revuelto doesn't stand up in the visual comparison at all.

If you can afford £500k for a Revuelto Special Edition you can afford £1m for a Miura, and I know which I'd have.

If I could I'd love to own both.
Probably my ultimate pair there.
