If you'd told me last week that Liberty Walk was going to modify a Lamborghini Miura, I would have reached for my pitchfork and torch. The Miura isn't just a car - it's arguably THE car that started the modern supercar era, a rolling piece of artwork that defined what it means to be beautiful on four wheels. And Liberty Walk... well, they're known for taking perfectly good cars and turning them into something that looks like it escaped from a Need For Speed game.But here we are, and I have to eat my words. Because what Liberty Walk has done with the Miura is nothing short of extraordinary.Let's start with what they call the LB-Silhouette Works GT Lamborghini Miura. At its core, it's still clearly a Miura - those swooping lines and iconic headlights remain intact. But Liberty Walk has taken Marcello Gandini's masterpiece and given it a modern racing makeover that somehow, improbably, works.The most striking change is the stance. Liberty Walk has dropped the Miura so low it practically kisses the tarmac, but unlike their usual slammed creations, this one looks purposeful. The front end features a substantial splitter that might actually solve one of the original Miura's biggest problems - its tendency to get light at high speeds. Remember, this was a car from an era when aerodynamics were more guesswork than science, and the original Miura was notorious for getting sketchy at higher speeds. The new front aero package looks like it might actually plant the nose properly. Moving along the side, the extended fender flares flow into aggressive side skirts that look like they were inspired by modern GT3 race cars. The wheels are a modern interpretation of the classic design, filling out those massive arches perfectly. And that paint scheme - a classic black and white racing livery that manages to be both retro and contemporary at the same time.But it's the rear where things get really interesting. LBWK has slapped on a GT-style wing that would look ridiculous on most classic cars, but here it somehow works. Can probably land a helo on it if you wanted, it's that big. And, it's complemented by a aggressive diffuser setup that brings the Miura firmly into the 21st century. The original quad tailpipe setup remains, though likely modified to produce a sound that'll wake the dead. While Liberty Walk hasn't mentioned any mechanical modifications (yet), the original Miura's 4.0-liter V12 produced 385 horsepower, which by today's standards is relatively modest. Given the extensive aerodynamic modifications, one would hope there might be some mechanical upgrades to match.The complete package will be unveiled in the flesh at the Tokyo Auto Salon in January 2025, and while pricing hasn't been announced, if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it. And yes, this will be available as a kit for other Miura owners brave enough to modify their multi-million dollar investments.Will this modification set cause purists to faint? Absolutely. Will it anger collectors? Most definitely. Does it disrespect the original design? That's debatable. Is it sexy? Hell yes. Good work, Liberty walk. Gimme one.
