Is Lamborghini Planning A Miura Comeback?
Could the first supercar go for a second drive?
Lamborghini may be preparing to bring back one of the most iconic names in automotive history. The Lamborghini Miura.
According to a recent report, the Italian automaker is planning an ambitious product rollout in 2026, with as many as four new models expected to debut. Several of these are rumoured to be unveiled at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance this August, a venue often used by luxury brands to showcase high-profile or heritage-inspired vehicles.
If speculations are to be trusted, a modern reinterpretation could emerge as a halo model, while others indicate it may allow the brand's recent approach of commemorative editions. In 2022, Lamborghini paid tribute to the Miura with a special version of the Aventadoe LP 780-4 Ultimae. However, despite the model incorporating design cues from the original, it wasn't a ground-up revival.
The Miura holds a unique place in automotive history. For anyone who has just joined the circuit, Lamborghini Miura was first introduced in the 1960s and was widely credited with establishing the template for the modern supercar because of the groundbreaking mid-engine V-12 layout that continues to shape the luxury automaker's lineup today including models like the hybrid Lamborghini Revuelto. Not only that the shape of the car designed by the legendary design firm Bertone made the car immediately iconic and still the coolest. For its time, few road cars could break the 250 km/h barrier, and the Miura helped define what supercar speed meant for decades to come.
Much of that performance of the 1960s model came from its transverse mid-mounted 4.0-liter V12, producing up to around 385 hp in the SV version. However, despite its very low, lightweight chassis that prioritised aerodynamics before wind tunnels became standard in road car development, the original Lamborgini Miura produced between 1966 and 1973 was discontinued.
In 2022, the company did release a Miura-inspired version of the Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae through its Ad Personam program, though that effort stopped short of a full revival whereas, a 2006 Miura concept also failed to reach production.So, for now, the idea of the Miura taking a second drive remains speculative—but it’s a possibility that has captured the attention of enthusiasts worldwide.
