2006 Lamborghini Miura Concept
Explore 2006 Lamborghini Miura Concept: history, specifications, rarity evidence and credited photography.
The 2006 Lamborghini Miura Concept revisits a famous shape through a modern full-size design study. It has its own physical archive identity, separate from the original P400, S and SV production programmes already supplied.
Origins and the correct historical identity
Lamborghini’s retrospective credits Walter de Silva for the 2006 Miura Concept and describes its tribute to the original model’s fortieth anniversary. The entry records that physical design programme. No original Miura production tally or assumed installed V12 is transferred into the modern study.
Design: what makes Miura Concept distinctive
Mark Woodbury’s photograph shows a pale yellow-green body with rounded lamp areas and a very low nose. Its front face recalls familiar Miura themes while the broad surfaces have a smoother contemporary treatment. The exhibition setting and full-size proportions establish a physical subject. The photo is a frontal documentary view, with the body and surrounding show cars visible rather than artificially isolated.
Engineering and the concept brief
A design study can communicate proportions and visual ideas without establishing a finished customer drivetrain. The original production Miura’s architecture explains a historical comparison, but cannot supply installed specifications for this 2006 object. The archive therefore keeps exact motor output, capacity and road performance unassigned unless a correctly scoped technical construction record establishes them.
Why this Lamborghini belongs in the design archive
The modern study adds a useful layer beside the earlier Miura series pages. It allows a collector to compare a design reference with a later interpretation while keeping their histories independent. Calling every Miura-shaped object a P400 would obscure the purpose of the concept. The original name, date and credited photograph keep this later programme recognisable.
Recognising and documenting the physical subject
Physical Lamborghini Miura Concept at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2006, photographed by Mark Woodbury; frontal documentary view of the modern study. The original file record identifies the named subject, and the visible configuration supports the match. The photograph is a record of this appearance rather than a certification of every concealed component. Preserve its creator and individual licence when uploading the image. Further views of the cabin, rear, identification plates and mechanical areas would extend the dossier, provided they are connected to the same model or documented object. A chassis number should enter the individual record only when a clear source establishes it.
Reading a show-car specification
A concept specification describes a programme at a particular moment. Some details identify a physical component, some describe the intended vehicle architecture, and others set a target for a possible future model. Those distinctions matter especially for dramatic show cars, whose presentation may combine working mechanisms with design demonstrations. The specification table retains the manufacturer’s named proposal and leaves unsupported outputs or manufacturing totals unfilled. A later production car’s engine, transmission or acceleration time is not a substitute for evidence about this concept.
The body itself is a valuable technical document. Wheel placement suggests packaging priorities; cabin height and glazing show how visibility and occupant space were presented; openings and surface transitions reveal the designers’ approach to access and airflow. Those observations are interpretations of the visible design, rather than proof of a completed road test. Pairing them with the original programme description gives a collector a useful way to understand the car without assigning capabilities that the surviving records do not establish.
Collector significance and future research
The value of a concept archive lies in preserving the relationship between an idea, the people who developed it and the object that made it visible. A strong collection record keeps the original name, reference year, credited photographs and source links attached to that relationship. If new photographs or factory documents emerge, they can add a show appearance, a construction detail or a later change without replacing the original identity. This is particularly useful for a car whose published pictures may span several exhibitions and whose name may have acquired different spellings.
The complete fabrication tally remains unknown here. Exhibition appearances do not provide a count: the same object can travel, and a programme may also produce models or development articles that are not visible publicly. The concept belongs in this archive because its physical identity is supported, rather than because a single surviving photograph implies that only one was made. A future tally should identify which objects it covers and the document establishing that scope. Until then, this profile provides the historical and photographic foundation for further documentation.
Reading the evidence for this profile
The original source links below identify the programme and the historical statements used in this article. The photograph has its own creator and licence record, separate from the manufacturer’s vehicle history. Keep both when transferring this profile into a collection catalogue. A manufacturing tally describes how many cars belong to a defined original programme; it does not measure how many survive, how many are publicly visible, or how many retain all their original components. Those individual questions require dated chassis and restoration evidence. The reference year likewise describes the programme’s introduction or named historic configuration, while the supplied caption states the photographed setting and any established individual identity. This lets future research expand the car’s history without blurring the scope of the record already assembled here.
