The Crew is not the most realistic simulation game our there and target more casual/arcade gamer of all ages. The visual on these arcade games are actually often much more attractive than real simulation games like iRacing where the sense of speed and fast action is dumbed down in order to focus more on the fine motor skills from the driver. The crew will bring lots of high impact visuals and insane stunts for all wannabe hoolingan drivers out there. Count us in!

The game will be playable on PlayStation 4, 5, Xbox Series X|S, One, and Windows PC platforms. It will also be accessible through a Ubisoft+ subscription on PC and Amazon Luna.

‘The Crew’ Series

Ubisoft launched the popular open-world racing video game series The Crew’, promising a “massively multiplayer” experience, on December 2, 2014. Ivory Tower and Ubisoft Reflections developed the series, which has garnered significant worldwide recognition over the years.

Ubisofts soon-to-be-released game, ‘The Crew Motorfest,’ featuring the Revuelto, will take players on various on- and off-road events, street races, and beach adventures in the beautifully recreated O’ahu island of Hawaii. Besides the Lamborghini model, the game also showcases an impressive range of cars, including the classic Volkswagen Microbus and modern sensations like the Toyota Supra, Hummer EV, and the Porsche Taycan Turbo S.

Ubisoft Forward Live Event

Racing games always captivate car enthusiasts, offering them the opportunity to explore a variety of vehicles and mimic the thrill of real-world driving. And at the recent ‘Ubisoft Forward Live’ event, attendees even had the chance to virtually race the Revuelto across the scenic landscapes of O’ahu, Hawaii.

Ubisoft also curated a special game playlist celebrating Lamborghini’s rich history. The curated playlist allows gamers to drive iconic cars like the 1971 Lamborghini Miura SV and the present-day Revuelto, the latest plug-in hybrid V12 supercar. Ubisoft offers access to game playlists, which function like those of PlayGround Games. These playlists offer short thematic campaigns featuring custom races, theme-centric events, and unique challenges.

Gaming fans can pre-order ‘The Crew: Motor Fest’ from the Ubisoft Store and the Epic Games Store before the September 14, 2023 launch.

The post The Crew Motorfest To Feature 2023 Lamborghini Revuelto appeared first on LamboCars.

Between August 31 and September 4 you could catch a glimpse of the brand new Lamborghini V10 Huracán Tecnica at Blenheim Palace, finished in the stunning Arancio Xanto, a shade that was introduced on the Huracán EVO a while ago, with the power from the STO, which is a track weapon, and the more refined looks that are an evolution of the current EVO, and talking about the Huracán STO, Lamborghini had a very nice Grigio Lynx finished STO on the stand for comparison.

The third Raging Bull on the Lamborghini stand at Salon Privé was the ultimate version of the outgoing flagship V12 model, the Lamborghini Aventador LP780-4 Ultimae finished in the amazing-looking Grigio Acheso, paying homage to the last of the naturally-aspirated V12 Lamborghini before we’ll get to see the replacement at the end of 2022, which as we all know will still retain the V12 engine, but a completely new development that has been built to be a hybrid from the start, a trend that will continue with more new model unveils in 2023 and onwards.

But rumor has it the Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica that has only just been unveiled can’t even be ordered anymore, we’ve read the window during which clients could order the Tecnica only opened for a short while, although there has been no mention of it being a limited edition model, it seems they are really putting a cap on how many of these smoother looking STO derivatives will be built in the end, at the same time the source did mention you can still order the STO at the time of writing, which seems odd if you come to think about the fact that Lamborghini has revealed their entire 2024 production is sold out already … and by 2025 we’ll probably be looking at the Huracán replacement too, so my guess is that if you really want to order a brand new Huracán, you’d better hurry.

Artist Paul Oz was invited by Automobili Lamborghini SpA to the event to create a bespoke painting featuring the famous Lamborghini Raging Bull logo using thick oils on carbon fiber, this modern artist specializes in automotive and motorsport art and sculpture, he created an amazingly vibrant piece, which happened to be already sold to a Lamborghini owner, so no, you can’t buy it anymore.

On the lawns of Salon Privé, a specially-curated Platinum Collection of cars from the last 70 years in honor of the Queen’s Jubilee, showcased no less than three exceptional Lamborghini models from the past, like an extremely rare Reventón Roadster from 2010, with 20 units made of the Reventón Coupe in 2008, the Roadster was even more limited to just 15 units, but this one was in fact an RHD version, and only three of those were made for the entire world, this Reventón Roadster is just as rare as the Veneno Coupe if you think about it.

If you want to talk about rare and exclusive Lamborghini models, how about a 1973 Miura P400 SVJ? This was chassis #4860, said to be the fourth and final Miura SV ‘Jota’ to be officially modified right at the Lamborghini factory, this specific silver ‘modificato’ was built on special order for Hubert Hahne, a long-time friend of the late Ferruccio Lamborghini from Germany, Ferruccio personally kept an eye on this car during its construction, hence this specific one came with several unique details including a larger fuel tank and stiffer suspension.

This famous Miura SVJ has been completely restored under the direction of the in-house Lamborghini Polo Storico department, during which a rigorous research and certification process was undertaken, subsequently, this car was awarded a certificate of historical authenticity by Lamborghini, with the ‘Hahne Jota’ honored in 2020 when exhibited by Lamborghini Polo Storico at Paris Rétromobile.

Finally, another important, limited-edition Lamborghini was presented too, the Diablo SE30, or Special Edition 30, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the founding of Automobili Lamborghini SpA in 1963, in total only 150 units of the Diablo SE30 were built, many of which were finished in the famous Viola 30 hue, a bright purple metallic, with a blue Alcantara interior, although most cars for the US market (25 of the 150 in total) came with a leather upholstery instead. This titanium Diablo SE30 on display was number 64/150, originally delivered to a customer in Austria back in 1996, but today in UK ownership.

And what about the Miura Jota you might ask? Well, the original car no longer exists, but a UK enthusiast did a complete recreation based on a real Miura, so that one is now the closest thing to the Jota today, but it’s not for sale, and my guess would be its value is up there with the Miura Roadster, in the 8 figures region … but there are still a few other very expensive Miura out there.

In 2020 a 1971 Lamborghini Miura SV sold for a massive €3,500,000 at auction, but most likely the 1972 Lamborghini Miura SVJ in this article will demand an even higher price to obtain. This is chassis 5090, with a numbers matching engine nr 30751, and according to Lamborghini authority Simon Kidston, this is one of only three original, factory-built Miura SVJ.

When the one-and-only, custom-built Miura Jota was lost in an accident in April 1971, some of Lamborghini’s wealthiest clients requested a Jota style Miura to be built for them, and the factory complied by taking an original Miura SV from the assembly line and have air intakes and outlets cut into the aluminum body, by hand, complete with exposed rivets and fixed headlights under Perspex covers to obtain the race-style Jota look, but still with an original, leather interior for comfort.

At that time three brand new, factory-built Miura SV were converted into the special SVJ edition, the first one went to the Shah of Iran, that car later ended up with famous movie actor Nicholas Cage, this Rosso Granada one is the last of the three factory new Miura SVJ built, and the modifications from SV to SVJ aren’t just cosmetic it seems.

The client could request a power boost when ordering a Miura SVJ, however, this model was never featured in any catalog, so all of them are really bespoke commissions, hence none of them are exactly alike, they all have small differences compared to one another, power boost could be 20 to 30 bhp apparently, according to Kidston the factory records for the first SVJ stated “engine modifications as carburetors with competition-type trumpets; quickly removable air filters; front oil radiator; double Bendix Testa Rossa racing fuel pumps; competition exhausts with three-into-one manifolds and four exits with either free-flow or silenced terminals.”

It also seems the ride height on the Miura SVJ was lowered compared to the original SV and came with modified anti-roll bars while the interior kept the Miura SV seats, usually in leather by now, but a multi-point racing harness was fitted and a fire extinguisher was added to the passenger’s footwell for safety reasons. If the riveted intakes and vents weren’t enough to convince you of the race-inspired looks, there was also a ‘chin spoiler’ added together with a quick-release outside filler cap poking through the front hood.

To this day there is a discussion among Lamborghini owners and enthusiasts about just how many of these Miura SVJ were built, and the answer isn’t easy, as usual with Italian car builders, records aren’t always kept up, and chassis numbers are known to ‘float’ sometimes when a car got crashed and was lost forever. But the consensus is that only three Miura SVJ were built as new cars straight from the factory, chassis 4934 for the Shah of Iran, chassis 4990 for Alberto Silvera, and this one, chassis 5090 … nicknamed ‘the Corsican Car’, keep in mine a regular Miura SV cost about Lire 8,000,000 in the early Seventies, the custom-built SVJ version was rumored to add Lire 5,000,000 to this!

But there are more Miura SVJ out there, a Lamborghini Miura SVJ on display at the 2020 Rétromobile show in Paris by the Lamborghini Polo Storico department was chassis #4860, and this specific Miura was built for Hubert Hahne, the German importer for Automobili Lamborghini SpA at that time in Dusseldorf. In 1972 this Miura SV was sent back to the factory to be converted into a real SVJ, by April 1973 Mr. Hahne received this very special Miura, probably the only one with a 110 Liter fuel tank, but it wasn’t a ‘new build’ Miura SVJ, this one was an official conversion on a car that already left the factory doors as a regular SV.

When Patrick Mimran took over the factory he also wanted a Miura to be built to SVJ specifications back in 1987, this was an orange over black Lamborghini Miura S #4088, it only received a few extra air holes in the bodywork and fixed headlights, the wheels remained standard, but it is rumored the engine was in fact upgraded and used a dry-sump too. The car was shipped to Switzerland after Patrick Mimran sold the company to Chrysler.

Back to chassis 5090 which was production number 756 and was delivered to Paul Ferrandi who was based in Paris but had businesses in Corsica, but the car was ordered from the French importer Voitures Paris Monceau, ten years later, in 1982, this Miura SVJ was sold to Alain Aouizerat in France with just 13,000 km on the counter, he picked the car up in Corsica and drove her onto the ferry and subsequently over the road back to Paris.

Mr. Aouizerat asked Carrosserie Chapron in Paris to repaint the car to a silver-grey but retained the red leather interior, a stunning color combination if you ask me, note that those two chronographs fitted on the central console were not factory original, but added by Paul Ferrandi during his previous ownership, Aouizerat kept them in place. He had the car registered in Paris on license plate 1717 YN 75, and after adding about 3,000 km to the counter by 1984, the SVJ car changed hands again, this time sold to collector Michel Barthet of Bonnac la Côte near Limoges. He kept the car for 22 years, but only drove it for 1,000 km during that time, in 2006 Luciano Colosio of Bergamo, Italy acquired this piece of history, the original French carte grise with license plate 8447 QV 87 in Barthet’s name is still with the car today.

By 2010 renowned Simon Kidston came into the life of this rare Lamborghini Miura SVJ, and he decided to have the car painstakingly restored back to factory specs, which involved a complete respray into the original Rosso Granada shade (note that the first SVJ, the Shah’s car, was the same shade but had a different shade interior). Body and paint were executed by Pietro Cremonini while the mechanicals was overhauled by ex-Lamborghini engineer Luca Salvioli at Top Motors, the interior was preserved and it still wears the original 1972 hides today.

This restoration took about 3 years and the car went through two more owners, accumulating nearly 20,000 km in total until this very rare piece of Lamborghini history got listed for sale again recently, and on his website, Kidston mentions this might be the only Miura SVJ to change hands in the foreseeable future, both #4934 and #4990 are kept in private collections and are not available on the market, making this #5090 your only chance to get one of the rarest, factory-built Miura SVJ customs in existence … price is on-demand mind you.

Check out the listing on the Kidston website here.

The post One of the most valuable Miura for sale appeared first on LamboCars.

One of these factory original Miura SVJ was chassis #4934 that was built for the Shah of Iran, originally this was a dark blue Miura SV that was taken from the assembly line and received the cutouts in the bodywork, finished in a dark burgundy metallic over a white leather interior, this car was delivered in  St Moritz at the end of 1971 … while a regular Miura SV cost about Lire 8,000,000, the custom-built SVJ version was rumored to add Lire 5,000,000 to this. Note that this specific car was later bought by actor Jonathan Cage in 1997.

Chassis #5090 was the second, original factory built Miura SVJ, and while the first one for the Shah was a Miura SV that was converted, this one was built as an SVJ right from the start to be delivered to a customer in Corsica through the French importer Voitures Paris Monceau, finished in metallic red over a red leather interior, but she was later repainted in grey over blue.

The Lamborghini Miura SVJ on display at the 2020 Rétromobile show in Paris by the Lamborghini Polo Storico department is chassis #4860, and this specific Miura was built for Hubert Hahne, the German importer for Automobili Lamborghini SpA at that time in Dusseldorf. At first, this car was finished in black over a white leather with black cloth interior.

In 1972 this Miura SV was converted into a real SVJ at the factory, by April 1973 Mr Hahne received this very special Miura, probably the only one with a 110 Liter fuel tank …. in 1977 a repaint to silver metallic and full black leather was done at the factory.

This Miura SVJ remained in Germany until the early 2000s, after which she was sold to a Japanese collector that kept the car out of sight ever since until she was recently returned to Sant’Agata to have a ‘preservation’ done by the Polo Storico department to conserve the condition of this very rare Lamborghini Miura SVJ and to preserve her for the future.

I’m sure this is a priceless piece of automotive history for Automobili Lamborghini SpA, and seeing it on display in Paris really is an amazing opportunity to admire such beauty.

The post Polo Storico shows one of only four Miura SVJ appeared first on LamboCars.

In fact in the RM Auction Paris listing from February 2014 a 1971 Miura S with SV conversion sold for nearly USD $700,000 while back in October 2010 one of the original, factory built 1971 Miura SVJ units sold for over USD $1,200,000 … the car that will now be offered for sale in May should be somewhere in-between I guess … it is a 1969 Miura S that has been converted into a Jota/SVJ style look alike, albeit not by the factory but by a third party specialist.

This Lamborghini Miura with chassisnumber 4280 and matching engine number 30422 was built in October 1969, factory records show the car was finished on October 23. to be exact, finished in Rosso Corsa with a black leather interior, initially delivered to ITALCAR FABBRI … furthermore records show this car already received the uprated 1mm chassis steel and was internal production number 423.

Later on this 1969 Lamborghini Miura S was sold to a Japanese owner while in 2009 images were found showing a conversion to Jota looks, complete with front spoiler fin and cut out vents behind the front wheels, rear wheels and on the rear fascia panel between the taillights. These photos also showed fixed headlights under plexi covers and lightweight sliding side windows, while the wheels remained standard Miura units painted black.

One of those 2009 photos actually shows a very special engine cover design … the usual Miura louvers were replaced by a transparent plastic section with cut out slots to allow air to exit the hot engine compartment … at this moment the photos showing the car going to auction no longer feature this plastic engine cover, instead the original louvers are back.

The fixed headlights still reside under plastic protection covers while the lower mounted turn signals and fog lights also received a cover. The front hood has the usual ‘open’ vents surrounded by lots of rivets, initially a fast fuel filler has been cut out from this massive panel but these more recent photos show two fillers on either side while the hole in the front hood has been covered up.

On the side behind the front wheels we now find a large air vent on either side while behind the rear wheels the vent has been closed up again it seems …. the original Miura wheels have been replaced with Jota style center lock units that show a massive width at the rear. While the lower grille has been removed and four massive exhaust tips are mounted under the rear fascia between the taillights.

Another weight saving operation are the side windows, the glass units have been replaced by lightweight plastic units that feature a sliding section, just like on a race car … and the weight reduction is carried on into the interior … the dashboard has been replaced by a riveted unit while a series of toggle switches take care of the more important features … even the round holes in the chassis under the doors are visible now … somehow I guess there is not a lot of sound deadening material left in this 1969 Miura S, so it might get loud inside.

At the moment the RM Auctions listing doesn’t show any pricing yet on this special car, but being a converted 1969 Miura S I still think it will demand a hefty price to acquire … perhaps not in the same range as one of the official factory made SVJ models, but still more than a regular S model would demand.

Only a few of these official Miura’s had a dry-sump lubrication, however most of these just had some look alike bodywork done, some were ordered with additional air intakes and fixed headlights, others retained the standard bodywork but had a modified engine, note that none of these specials actually used Avional for the bodywork, they all remained in aluminium. Underneath that beautiful, low slung styling, most of these custom SV’s remained more or less a ‘normal’ Miura SV.

Some sourced state these specials were built on the following chassis : 4860, 4990 and 5090, while the real Jota was built on chassis number 5084, with engine number 30744, only one of these had a dry sump lubrication and an auto blocking differential mounted, the other cars used a more or less ‘standard’ Miura SV engine.

Rumor has it there were only two Miura ever built with a dry sump lubrication and auto blocking differential, one with chassis number 4878 and the other with number 4956.

As usual, some customers had their Miura altered afterwards, but the Miura listed here are regarded as ‘original’ factory cars, these SVJ were factory built and therefore authorised, however later more Miura were converted at the factory or at bodyshops throughout the world. If you want to buy a real SVJ, you’ll only have to look for the first three cars ever made, the rest are just trying to more or less look like a Jota.

I’ve tried to include a list, that is accurate to my personal knowledge, of the Miura’s that were built or converted into SVJ specifications.

Lamborghini Miura SVJ #4934

Actually the first official Miura SVJ, number 4934 with engine number 30685, built by the factory, was delivered to the Shah of Iran in 1979, apparently by none other that the late Ferruccio Lamborghini himself. The Shah ordered a second Miura SV with only one request (he already owned Miura SV #4870), it had to be special, so Automobili Lamborghini SpA went to work, they took a dark blue SV body from the production line and cut custom brake vents behind the front and rear wheels much like those seen on the Jota, they also installed numerous rivets all over. Fixed headlight units were mounted covered by plexi and a race type fuel filler cap was installed in the front hood, naturally a front spoiler was mounted and a custom race suspension lowered the car. A single windscreen whiper was mounted and to top off these modifications a magnificent sounding open race exhaust was coupled to the altered dry sump V-12 engine, sending chills down your spine whenever you touched the gas pedal.

The car was finished in a dark Burgundy metallic shade, contrasting heavily with the white leather interior, after completion of the car it was tested by Bob Wallace before being delivered to St Moritz in December 1971 for a price of Lire 13,000,000 while a standard Miura SV was available for only Lire 8,000,000 at that time.

After they completed this car, Automobili Lamborghini SpA actually made another, original SVJ along the same method, chassis number 5090 was not a modified SV, but was built as an SVJ from the start.

The very first SVJ (4934) was abandoned in the Imperial garage by the Shah in 1972, he quickly lost interest in all his new cars, so no further maintenance was done and during the 1979 revolution in Iran this car was confiscated together with all of the Shah’s other cars. Miura number 4934 was later found in very poor condition, a complete refurbishment was needed, also note that the chassis had to be refreshed to get the car into the shape it was when it was offered for auction in 1997, some sources state that it was actually sold by the Iran authorities to an enthusiast in Dubai during 1995.
In March 1997, during the Geneva Auto Show, this car was put up for auction by Brooks, the famous actor Nicolas Cage was able to buy the car for nearly $500,000, and kept it in his collection of supercars until early 2004, when it was acquired by a collector in the United Kingdom.

Lately this unique SVJ was ‘restored’ at the factory and today it boasts a fit and finish exactly like when it left the factory doors in 1971, the bodywork is just perfect now and the engine is now tuned like it was intended. This SVJ now drives like a ‘lightweight’ SV, the V12 revs freely and the current owner states that this one of a kind Miura is perfectly stable cruising at 250 Km/h on the UK highways.

Lamborghini Miura SVJ #5090

A 1972 Miura SVJ, this car was delivered towards the end of the Miura production at the factory, and together with the mystery SVJ described on this page, they  are considered to be the only two official factory SVJ’s built after the initial #4934. This car was finished in metallic red over red leather Miura SV, number 5090 with engine 30751 was built by the factory to full SVJ specifications.

It was delivered to Paul Ferrandi in Corsica after it was ordered from the French importer Voitures Paris Monceau, in 1982 this car was sold to France while in 1984 it was again sold to the current owner, who had it repainted into a Grey/Blue metallic later on.

Today this car is still in it’s original shape, showing the obvious age of the car by now, but still runs and looks great, little corrosion is starting to form on the silver bodywork, but it can still be considered an extremely rare Miura.
At this time the car features black sills, custom four point harness for the driver and passenger, a nice touch are two chronographs mounted on the dashboard, this car also features the rivets all over the bodywork, painted in the bodycolor just like the factory did in the early Seventies.

Lamborghini Miura SVJ #????

Rumor has it one of the closest Miura Jota builds ever would be a 1972 MIURA SVJ ‘dry sump’ model delivered by the factory on August 31. 1972, but no official documents can show the chassis number nor the engine number.

Note that this would have been only ‘period’ dry sump SVJ (based on real Jota mechanicals), and one of only two original SVJ ( together with #5090) delivered by the factory, still the second car, #5090, was a wet sump version.

The other existing SVJ’s (#4934 – #4990 – #4860 and now #4892) were originally delivered as standard SVs that were upgraded by the factory on special request from their owners, these cars were modified into the famous “SVJ look” at a later date.

This mystery car would have been the last SVJ actually built and delivered during the actual Miura production, on August 31. 1972 to be exact, while #5090 was delivered only 6 days earlier, on August 25. 1972.

Because of a detailed list of special, original specifications many called this specific Miura the most exact ‘cosmetic’ replica of the real Jota : Correct rivet placement, all-aluminum doors, hexagonal central lock wheels (all the other SVJs are fitted with the classic 3 eared knock off wheel nuts), single Jota wiper (only #4934 also mounted this from the factory), Mercedes stalk, different suspension geometry giving lower ride height and roll centre.

Mechanical basis: Oil radiator on the chassis’s front part, limited slip differential (not the case on all the SVJs), and most importantly the dry sump system.

Lamborghini Miura SVJ #4860

The nr. 4860 was built for Hubert Hahne in Dusseldorf, he was the German based importer for Automobili Lamborghini SpA at the time. This Miura was originally finished in black over white leather with black cloth, but in 1977 it was repainted in the current silver metallic at the factory, and received a full-leather interior in black, also note that all the visible chrome on the car was now finished in matte black. This car was actually a Miura SV that was converted into SVJ specs by the factory in late 1972, it was re-delivered to Mr Hahne in April 1973 and was officially denoted as the fifth, and last ‘original’ Miura SVJ built.

Note that this Miura SVJ was the only one using a 110 Liter fuel tank, also normal SV dual windshield wipers were mounted, note that this was probably the only SVJ that had the quad exhausts ‘cut’ into the rear section instead of completely removing it like on the four other SVJ’s.

Over the years the car was sold to several owners, but today it is rumored to reside in Japan, the current owner is actually thinking about returning this rare Miura SVJ back into the original black bodywork.

Lamborghini Miura SVJ # 4990

Yet another Miura SVJ nr. 4990 was sold in April 1972 to Alberto Silvera in Port au Prince, Haiti. It was delivered with a single windscreen wiper and painted in a very nice red metallic over black interior, later on the car was repainted into Rosso Corsa and received a larger windshield wiper from the Countach. After an extensive restoration at the factory in 1997 it was sold to a collector in Japan.

Note that today this original factory SVJ features a red with cream interior and a black ‘reversed leather’ dashboard, and another ‘non-original’ feature are the rivets on this car they are finished in chrome!

Note that these five Miura SVJ’s are considered to be the only ‘official’ factory cars, while the following cars on this page were actually originally built as normal Miura models that were later on modified/customized into more or less SVJ style Miura’s, but these later cars are not to be considered to be Miura SVJ models, just custom made cars most importantly the previous five cars will be a lot more expensive when found on the market, since actor Nicolas Cage acquired his SVJ for nearly $ 500,000 the price still went up.

Miura’s Modified Into SVJ Look (Not Considered Real SVJs)

An original first series Miura P400, green over brown with #3781 was bought by Heinz E. Steber in Germany, he later asked Hubert Hahne to have the car modified by Automobili Lamborghini SpA in November 1975.
The car was finished in April 1976 and included very wide central locking BBS wheels with Pirelli P7R tires, massive 345/35 ZR 15 were mounted at the rear, a special Koni race suspension was installed and Girling disc brakes from a Porsche 917 were used to stop this very fast Miura SV Jota replica.

The engine was rumored to be converted into dry sump, modified cams were mounted together with open Weber carburetors and a very loud race type exhaust system. On the inside special race type Recaro seats with a four point harness were installed. This car was later sold to a wealthy Japanese collector for an unknown price, rumors states he paid up to US $ 550,000 for it, today this car is still in Japan.

When Patrick Mimran took over the factory he also wanted a Miura to be built to SVJ specifications back in 1987, this was an orange over black Lamborghini Miura S #4088, it only received a few extra air holes in the bodywork and fixed headlights, the wheels remained standard, but it is rumored the engine was in fact upgraded and used a dry sump too. The car was shipped to Switzerland after Patrtick Mimran sold the company to Chrysler.

The Miura SV number 4806 with engine number 30592, was originally finished in red, after Graheser had the car rebuild at the factory it was repainted in yellow. The car was later bought by Armin Johl who heavily modified it to include some SVJ specifications, this car used drilled central locking units on the wheels.

Another Miura SV number 4870 was converted to use fixed headlight units, finished in dark blue metallic over white leather, this car was first delivered to Reza Pahlevi, the Shah of Persia, on July 21st 1971. The car was driven a few times and abandoned in the garage after that, it never received any maintenance and was only sold recently, the new owner completely restored it to the original specifications. This is probably one of only a few Miura’s in existence with less than 10,000 km on the counter.

Some of the other Miura’s modified into SVJ style cars were #4446, this LHD model was originally sold to an Australian owner who later sold it to a Japanese owner, today this Miura S was completely restored and modified into a Jota version by an authorized Lamborghini dealership.

A Miura S with chassis number 4791 was later converted to SVJ specs by none other than Bob Wallace himself in his US based workshop after he’d left Automobili Lamborghini SpA.
