2006 LAMBORGHINI MIURA CONCEPT

Retro pastiches are usually a bit rubbish, but Lambo nailed the Miura concept, which was built to celebrate the original car's 40th birthday.

It's a Murciélago underneath with modified husk penned by Lamborghini design chief, Walter de'Silva . But it won't be built: when it was launched at the Palay Centre for Media in New York, Lamborghini president and CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, said: "The Miura was a celebration of our history, but Lamborghini is about the future. Retro design is not what we are here for. So we won't do the Miura."
