Fret not, we are not here to talk about a Lamborghini Miura that actually caught fire. We’re not sure how many of the 764 units that were produced by the Raging Bull have survived, but this is no death - it’s a rebirth.
It all happens thanks to 22-year-old artist Khyzyl Saleem, who has imagined a Miura drifting while on fire. The resulting rendering is something we find delicious, so we thought we shared this with you.
As retro motoring aficionados know, it doesn’t take all that much for a Miura to catch fire, with fuel potentially leaking from the carburettors onto the hot exhaust manifold.
However, as we are to enter the artists’ virtual game, this is far from a standard Lamborghini. Instead, we are talking about a restomod V12 senior supercar. Perhaps the intercooler rendered at the rear of the Lambo is the best example for just how wild things have gone in this pixel story.
As for the drifting part, Lamborghinis have always been about the show and the sheer feeling, with handling falling behind these two assets. As a result, even is somebody had the guts to take a Miura by the scruff of its neck and drift it, the Lambo wouldn’t be all that happy about being asked to perform such sideways stunts.
In fact, the rendering is part of larger series that sees such automotive treasures being introduced in a trashy-cool manner. The series is filed under “drift missiles” and we have to admit it was aptly named. How else could you call a Lamborghini that’s sliding and could explode at any time?

This is part of a series called Drifting Missiles
We keep forgetting this is the virtual world, where everything is possible, so you can keep dreaming about that extreme slip angle achieved by this Raging Bull.In fact, the rendering is part of larger series that sees such automotive treasures being introduced in a trashy-cool manner.
