Lamborghini Miura Concept Reimagines World’s Most Beautiful Car

By Brett Foote - October 8, 2018

Reinventing a car as stunning as the Lamborghini Miura is no small task. But this artist pulls it off beautifully.

As automotive enthusiasts, we rarely agree on anything. This is because we all have out own subjective tastes, of course. But most can at least agree on one thing. And that’s the fact that the Lamborghini Miura is the most beautiful car ever made. By anyone. Even today, 50+ years after the Miura shocked the world when it debuted at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show. This is the car that quite literally put Lamborghini on the map and simultaneously revolutionized the performance automobile. All in one felt swoop.

Most people forget that the Lamborghini Miura was the first mid-engine road-going supercar, however. Mainly because that gorgeous body, designed by coachbuilder Nuccio Bertone, is so unforgettable. Thus, it’s no surprise that even Lamborghini teased us with a new concept Miura for the car’s 40th anniversary. But now an artist by the name of Marco Van Overbeeke has taken a crack at those iconic lines once again.

The renderings you see before you are of what Van Overbeeke calls the Nuova Concept II. And it’s a faithful and passionate tribute to a machine whose design perennially lands atop many “most beautiful cars” lists. It maintains that classic low slung silhouette while also adding modern styling elements such as a thin LED taillights, diffusers, and large air intakes. And it’s no surprise that Van Overbeeke also has a plan for this stunning concept as well.

“Lamborghini should create one each decade. A Miura-like car, with that typical silhouette: a 2-seater GT coupe. Whether you call it a Miura or not, or choose for a more classic retro look or hyper-modern interpretation, trying to push that envelope of automotive innovation and technology and bring it together into an epic design would be a great homage of such an icon.”
