The Lamborghini Miura remains one of the most legendary supercars ever built, and fans have long dreamed of its return. While Lamborghini has no plans to officially revive the Miura nameplate, independent designer Andrea Sassano has stepped in with a breathtaking modern interpretation: the Miura SVR concept.
This digital render, created entirely in Photoshop, reimagines the classic Miura as a contemporary supercar with aggressive, racing-inspired styling. Sassano’s vision preserves the timeless essence of the original while updating it for today’s performance standards – and the result is absolutely stunning.
The Legacy of the Original Lamborghini Miura
Introduced in the late 1960s, the Lamborghini Miura revolutionized the supercar world with its mid-engine layout, gorgeous fastback design, and transcendent styling. It wasn’t just a car; it was a design icon where aesthetics took center stage over pure engineering.
Nearly 50 years after production ended, the Miura’s influence is still felt across the automotive industry. We’ve previously covered the Miura’s enduring impact in our deep dive into classic Lamborghini models and its role in shaping modern supercars.
Andrea Sassano’s Modern Miura SVR Concept
Designer Andrea Sassano, known for his striking automotive renders, chose to tackle one of the most challenging revival projects: a modern Miura SVR. The “SVR” designation positions this concept as Lamborghini’s ultimate, most extreme version – think track-focused aggression meets road-legal drama.
Key design highlights include:
- Iconic circular headlights modernized with sleek LED rings
- Signature black louvers on the engine cover
- Exaggerated wide-body stance with pronounced fenders
- Low-slung profile and rearward-set cabin for perfect proportions
- Tapered fastback rear with carbon fiber accents
- Aggressive front splitter and racing-inspired diffuser
The concept maintains the Miura’s fluid, always-in-motion lines while adding contemporary sharpness and aerodynamic efficiency.
Why Lamborghini Won’t Revive the Miura (Yet)
Despite successfully bringing back the Countach nameplate (which we covered in detail here), Lamborghini has repeatedly stated there are no plans for a Miura revival. The name carries immense historical weight, and the brand appears hesitant to risk tarnishing its perfect legacy.
Sassano himself acknowledges the complexity of updating such an iconic design, noting that the original Miura’s magic came from pure stylistic triumph rather than technical perfection.
Final Thoughts: A Miura Worthy of the Name?
Andrea Sassano’s Miura SVR concept proves that the legendary design language still works beautifully in 2026. While it remains a digital dream, renders like this keep the passion alive among Lamborghini enthusiasts.
What do you think – should Lamborghini reconsider and build something like this? Or is the Miura better left untouched as a classic? Let us know in the comments!
