- Lamborghini design chief confirms the Miura will not be reinterpreted or revived for modern production.
- The brand previously created the Countach LPI 800-4 using the 602kW Sian FKP 37 platform, to mixed reactions.
- Lamborghini’s future focus includes the limited-run Revuelto-based Fenomeno and variants of the new Temerario.
Lamborghini may have resurrected the Countach in 2021 to mixed applause, but don’t expect the same treatment for the Miura.
The brand’s design boss has confirmed the hallowed 1960s supercar will remain a one-off chapter in history – no reboot, no reinterpretation.
No retro revival here
Speaking to Auto Express, Lamborghini design chief Mitja Borkert said the temptation to modernise the Miura is strong, but it’s not on the cards.
“The demand will be there, but we will not do it,” he explained. “Lamborghini is a brand where the mirrors are small, but the windshield is big. We are not looking backwards, we are looking into the future. And I think it has to be like this.”
The logic is clear: while the Countach LPI 800-4 (based on the 602kW Sian FKP 37) sold out instantly, it also ruffled feathers among purists. Lamborghini isn’t keen on repeating that controversy with what is arguably its most sacred model.
The one that got away
It’s easy to see why fans might hope otherwise.
The Miura’s long bonnet and compact stance remain rare traits as cars balloon in size, and collectors would surely queue for a car that blends its analogue thrill with today’s comforts.
Lamborghini even teased the idea once, rolling out a single retro-flavoured Miura concept in 2006 for the model’s 40th anniversary, but there was never any intent to produce it.
Eyes firmly on tomorrow
Instead, Sant’Agata’s future is packed. The “few-off” family continues to grow, most recently with the Revuelto-based Fenomeno limited to just 29 cars, while the newly launched Temerario and its forthcoming spin-offs demand attention.
So, while the Miura’s legend stays parked in the past, Lamborghini insists its vision is fixed firmly through that “big windshield.” The future, not nostalgia, is where the raging bull plans to charge.
