We make take supercars for granted these days, yet in the 1960s, there was no such thing before the Lamborghini Miura came along with a mid-engine configuration. Considering that Ferrari waited until 1967 with the Dino 206 GT, there’s no denying that the House of the Raging Bull has started the trend a year earlier.
As opposed to the lesser-known Matra Djet from 1962 and De Tomaso Vallelunga as well as the Prancing Horse mentioned in the previous paragraph, Automobili Lamborghini had a pretty different approach to building a mid-engine supercar. Instead of a longitudinal layout, the carbureted V12 is transverse and the engine shares one casting with the transmission, just like the Morris Mini.
Given this information, can you imagine the Miura with a longitudinal V12? How about the Viper V10, some neo-retro styling cues, and Pirelli P Zero Color Edition summer-only tires? Freelance automotive designer Kasim Tlibekov from the Russian Federation is responsible for these outlandish renderings, and even though the purists won’t like his concept, there’s no denying it’s an interesting proposition.
The widebody looks are complemented by deep-dish spoked wheels, there’s some carbon fiber here and there, and the design motif at the front of the hood has a slight resemblance to the Alfa Romeo shield if you squint your eyes a little. Leaving no stone unturned, Kasim has also designed a two-piece luggage set.
You may have heard some hearsay about the return of the Miura but don’t get your hopes up. What we know for sure thanks to chief exec Stefano Domenicali is that Lamborghini is looking forward to the fourth model line after the Huracan, Aventador, and Urus. An electric grand tourer with a 2+2 seating configuration is one possible outcome, but we’ll have to wait until 2025 or thereabouts for it to be revealed.
As for the near-term future, Lamborghini is putting the finishes touches on the Italian automaker’s most powerful iteration of the Aventador. Expected to be based on the SVJ, the SVR or whatever it’ll be called is a track-only affair with 830 PS (817 horsepower) on tap and free-breathing straight pipes for the exhaust system.
