GOODWOOD Festival of Speed (7, 8 et 9 Juillet 2006):

The MIURA Spider, last Miura displayed by Lamborghini (Geneva 1981) starred at the Concours Cartier Style & Luxe.

 

At the Geneva Motor Show of 1981, the rebirth of Lamborghini under the new direction of Patrick Mimran is spectacular: the Sant'Agata manufacturer displays several new models on its stand: the last version of the Countach, the all-wheel drive LM02, the new Jalpa ... and a spectacular Miura Spider, obviously the swan's song of the Miura breed...

Directly inspired by the five SVJ built on commission by the factory in the 70s, after the destruction of the Jota, this open Miura SVJ, commissioned by the Swiss Importer, generated wild rumors and hopes : will this Spider version publicly presented in Geneva, ever enter into production ?...This "one-off" Miura Spider is now the property of Autodrome and is for sale...read more about its history here.

As a matter of fact, this spectacular prototype remained the only Miura Spider ever presented by Lamborghini. It has been invited to be displayed at the Cartier Syle et Luxe Concours in Goodwood, in the special "Miura Class" including - shown together for the first time in History - all existing versions of the legendary model created by Ferruccio Lamborghini: Miura, S, SV, SVJ, SVJ Spider. In complement, the Lamborghini factory presented its "Miura Concept" non-functional show-car seen at the Detroit 2005 Show, along with the perfect modern replica of the Jota.
