When a timeless icon becomes a playground for tuners, it’s bound to stir up strong opinions. That’s exactly what Liberty Walk has done with a Lamborghini Miura, a legend of the 1960s, transforming it into a radical machine with a unique style.

A bold redesign that challenges purists

The Lamborghini Miura, often hailed as one of the most beautiful cars ever produced, is not the first “victim” of Liberty Walk. This Japanese tuner, famous for its wide and aggressive body kits, has previously worked on iconic models like the Ferrari F40 and the Countach. But tampering with the Miura ventures into sacred territory for many car enthusiasts. This transformation, dubbed the LB-Silhouette Works GT, introduces extreme modifications to the Miura. Widened wheel arches, a massive rear diffuser, and an oversized rear wing have replaced the car’s original elegance. Its sleek lines now boast an aggressive look reminiscent of Group 5 race cars from the 1970s. Even the wheels and mirrors have been reimagined in a motorsport-inspired style.

Liberty Walk’s signature: A mix of art and provocation

What raises eyebrows is that Liberty Walk didn’t use a replica but an actual vintage Miura. With each unit valued at approximately $2.1 million, every modification is a bold gamble. Yet, this over-the-top style is the tuner’s hallmark. These transformations attract a wealthy clientele looking for more than just a car—they want a unique piece capable of creating global buzz. Every body panel has been modified or replaced, a monumental effort that sparks both admiration and criticism. With a suspension likely lowered using an air system and a dramatic aerodynamic kit, this Miura seems ready to dominate not only auto shows but also the collective imagination.

Revisiting an icon—but at what cost?

The very idea of modifying such an iconic model deeply divides opinions. On one side, purists cry sacrilege, insisting that every Lamborghini Miura is a treasure to be preserved in its original state. On the other, tuning enthusiasts applaud Liberty Walk’s audacity and creativity. It’s undeniable that this transformation breathes new life into an already legendary car, giving it a modern flair. But the ultimate question remains: will this Liberty Walk Miura be admired or rejected? Opinions vary, but one thing is clear—it doesn’t go unnoticed. Whether seen as heresy or a work of art, this model sparks strong reactions on both sides.
