Lamborghini Miura Jota Spider
|
Only one original Miura Spider was ever built, later converted to the ILZRO Zn-75 by Bertone,
but several closed Miura's were customized into Spider replica's.
Today, bodyshops all over the world still destroy the original lines of a Miura and present
you with a spider-version, but probably the best known spider replica is this Jota-Spider.
It was built by Lambo-Motors AG, Basel, Switzerland, on a 1971 Miura chassis, nr. 4808, this car
was in fact the original Geneva Motor Show car, when it was displayed in March 1971 it was finished
in the well known orange. This specific conversion took over two years to finish, but on the 1980 Geneva Auto Show, the Jota Spider was on display on the Lamborghini stand, where it was actually for sale. The roof was naturally removed, but unlike on the real Spider, a removable hard top was built for it. The bodywork was also modified, to Jota specifications and together with the reworked suspension, which lowered the body about 40 mm, and the use of very wide rims and low profile tires at the rear, this Jota Spider looked very aggressive. At first the car didn't have a rear spoiler installed, but later a big rear wing was mounted, completely integrated into the rear of the Miura. Today, practically no Miura is converted into a Spider replica anymore, it only reduces the real value of the car, and if you really want to drive an open-top Lamborghini, you can always buy a Jalpa, or a rarer Silhouette. |
