Why Liberty Walk Made The Most Outrageous Lamborghini Miura Ever
This is a one-off promotional car, so don’t send them emails asking for one. The story behind the car a typical one.
Toshiro
“Toshi” Nishio, Sales Manager at Liberty Walk, kindly explained the
story of this curious car to me. “Kato-san has always wanted a Miura,
but finding one is quite difficult,” he said. That’s understandable—who
wouldn’t want a Miura?
“One day Kato-san went to a few random car
shops and found a Ford GT40 (replica) for sale. This gave him the idea
to make himself a Miura,” Toshi said.
From idea to creation it took about six months. They stripped the Ford
body off and put their own custom Miura body on top of the chassis,
overfenders and all.
Kato-san could’ve easily made this replica without the overfenders, but
where’s the fun in that? As always he wanted to combine his love of
classic Japanese cars and this classic European exotic. From the outside
with the stance and overfenders to distract the eye, it’s quite a
convincing replica. The black color does help hide some of the doubt.
The car isn’t fully complete yet; air suspension will be the next thing
to go on this “Miura.” While the chassis and engine are from a GT40,
some “modifications have been made to the engine.”
