There's no reason to fret - nobody touched one of the just 764 Miuras the Sant'Agata Bolognese automaker built between 1966 and 1973. Nevertheless, this rendering gives the vehicle credited for popularizing the supercar genre a bit of a drag racing twist.
It all starts with the drag strip-friendly wheel and tire package, which involves drag slicks at the back, whose meaty sidewalls help with getting off the line, along with skinnies for the front axle, so the rolling resistance is minimized.
Of course, with all that traction, a wheelie bar was installed and, given the kind of triple-digit velocity numbers this machine is expected to reach, the parachute was a must.
The body of the Miura was brought considerably closer to the road, with this being just one of the aero changes the vehicle received. Other details involve the not-quite-small air dam up front, as well as the wickerbill attached to the posterior.
Truth be told, the actual Miura's design did produce noticeable front end lift, which led to the development of various downforce tweaks over the years, such as the easily visible hardware fitted to the Miura Jota SVR one-off.
Returning to the imagination exercise we have here, Kalim Oozeear, the digital artist behind the pixels, also introduced accent colors for the dark Miura, namely the yellow tint of the headlights and the neon green finish seen on the brake calipers.
As crazy as it might sound, such a proposal could make it to the real world, obviously with the use of a replica.
For instance, Japanese tuner Liberty Walk introduced a widebody Miura based on a... Ford GT 40 replica back in 2018. And, to stay closer to the drag strip, we'll remind you of the Lamborghini Countach-bodied funny car we featured back in 2015, which is as real as they get.
