It's causing a bit of a stir this one. I look at high end (million £+) classic cars like high end art like the works of Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet etc. If you could afford a painting from the likes you wouldn't set about it with your felt tips thinking you're improving it. However if you've got the skill to paint a replica and then attack it with felt tips then fair play. In other words this car doesn't do it for me and imo would be criminal to do it to the real deal, however I do appreciate the work involved in making such a car. We all have a point of view and should be allowed to express it. After all it would be a boring place if we all liked the same thing and that's what make RR a great place to visit due to its motoring diversity.

I think it's best if we agree to disagree.

A work of art meant is to be hung on the wall and looked at, that is what it was designed for and a bloody fast cutting edge (in its time) sports car was designed for

If thats a Miura, this is an actual Jaguar. If I photocopied the mona lisa, id be within my right to draw funny glasses and a mustache on it.

O.K. Time for a recap, (if only for myself), a tuning company in Japan, which normally makes big arches for modern cars has made a kit car that looks like a Miura and then fitted some big arches to it....? Call it a success, 3 pages on RR, god knows how many elsewhere, because that's why it was built. For publicity. The Lamborghini I like. Please add pictures of Lamborghinis you like.

More people should find ways to build cars that might only otherwise exist as digital manipulations.
I'm a little disappointed that it isn't actually a Miura, but in hindsight a kit car base is really the only way that could ever have been built.
A real Miura is the only exotica I genuinely lust after. It's the fault of "The Italian Job".

There are some great digital (and non-digital in the world of Motorvation in Street Machine) inspirations out there that could really make for some world class modified cars if realised.

... The Lamborghini I like. Please add pictures of Lamborghinis you like. I agree on the Islero you showed. BORING CARS Because I am from a rural area, the Lamborghini I like would probably be a Tractori. Here's a lovely 955DT: And just because... well you'll see: The Centenario Tractori, with Aventador running gear. One of five, which probably makes it Monet-comparable. Thread relevance!

Meh.. A kit car with the same old arches/camber/stickers - it's not exactly breaking new ground. Have a proper Miura.

This. Not real. Should be. Beast I cant find a picture of a real one, but if it based on a real car, this is how Id have one if I had the money. I imagine the car above might look similer. As I don't have the money for a real one, Lego. Out of all the Lambos, this. All day long. A vintage tractor with camber. I'm done.

Yellow really suits these... This makes me think of the Alfa Montreal I'm sure it isn't and accident. Also now I want a wide arches Montreal.

I really love the original Miura. The shape, the style.
I also love negative camber - have done since I was 5 in the eighties.
I also love extremely low sills, chassis and roofs.
A big thumbs up to the LB Works on this Miura, especially as it has a V8 instead of a V12 - can't beat the sound of a lumpy V8 in my opinion.
If I could afford a GT40 replica and some extra work for a Miura body, I would!
I think the LB arches work with the Miura shape. It may be hard to work with, but easier than the Triumph GT6 rear arches - there aren't any wide arches that follow those lines, even with a lot of work, so its just a case of squeezing big wheels into the original arches.
Hats off to LB on this one.

Having seen more photos of this car I'll admit it's growing on me. The wheels are still a bit too small for my personal tastes and the fact that you need to remove the tail pipes to open the rear engine cover is daft. In other words you have to wait for the exhausts to cool down before you can do anything with the engine. Slight cock up in the forward planning department.
