Warning: for now, this widebody Lamborghini Miura project is a mere rendering, but things may get serious later in the year. Allow me to elaborate.
The pixel portrait now hanged on our screens is how digital artist Abimelec Arellano reacted to an Instagram post by builder Richard Rawlings, with the latter stating the following: "2020. I'm gonna find and buy a damn Lamborghini Miura, even if it kills me. If you got a lead, send it my way at info[at]gasmonkeygarage.com,"
Now, you might be familiar to Richard's name, since he's put together the Texas-based crew over at Gas Monkey Garage, while their Discovery Channel Fast N' Loud custom car show has a massive audience.
Now, if you check out the builder's post (the second one below), you'll notice that he talks about all the Miuras he encountered to date being pricey - this is discussed in the comments section. Massive TV budget aside, the said financial league is only natural, given the cult status of the Italian design icon and the fact that only 764 examples rolled off the factory gates in Sant'Agata Bolognese.
The potential build would be the first of its kind - sure, Japanese tuner Liberty Walk did introduce a widebody Miura, but that is actually based on a Ford GT40 replica.
Returning to the rendering we have here, it looks like the said pixel master respects famous designer Marcello Gandini's work, which is why he only brought limited visual changes to the Miura, even in this digital form.
As the artist aptly points out on Instagram, one might mistakenly believe this Raging Bull is simply lowered on custom wheels. Upon closer inspection, though, you'll notice a few surprises and I'll only list two: the Ford GT40 wheels and the slightly wider rear fenders. Ok, let's also go for the third, which involves the custom exhaust system.
