MIURA EDGES TOWARDS PRODUCTION
Hints that the concept will be built
Lamborghini Miura concept at Goodwood
Officially it hasn't said so, although heavy hints have suggested it will. And now, according to one story by a reliable source, comes more information suggesting the company will turn the Miura concept car into a limited edition range-topper as its answer to the Ferrari Enzo.
It'll be based on parent company Audi's Le Mans coupé, so it'll be mid-engined but lower, shorter and wider. Propelling it will be an uprated version of Lamborghini's 6.2-litre V12 bored out to 6.5-litres. Power will rise to 700bhp and torque to 553lb-ft, driving through all four wheels.
It might appear early in 2007 and the price is likely to be £200,000-plus. Only some 300-400 units will be made.
Can't wait...
