More than others, certain cars have left a mark on the history of the automobile. This is the case with the Lamborghini Miura, produced between 1966 and 1973. Since then, the Miura has been considered one of the most beautiful coupes in the world. The Miura also features a V12 engine mounted in a central transverse rear position. At that time, Lamborghini was one of the first car manufacturers to adopt this architecture in series. Unfortunately, today, Japanese-style tuning does not spare the Miura. Here is the LB-Silhouette WORKS GT Lamborghini Miura (LB: Liberty Walk).
This is not the first time the Japanese tuner, Liberty Walk, has tackled the legendary Miura, with a less radical first build appearing in 2018. This time, as part of the Tokyo Auto Salon 2025, Liberty Walk will unveil the LB-Silhouette WORKS GT Lamborghini Miura. What should we think of the work done by the Japanese?

Lowered to the maximum, the LB-Silhouette WORKS GT Lamborghini Miura features a body kit made up of multiple elements. Widened and open fenders, a massive rear wing, a front lip, an oversized rear diffuser, and other aerodynamic appendages transform the original Miura into a race car worthy of the Japanese Super GT championship.
The images illustrating this article speak for themselves, Liberty Walk has done way too much, as usual. However, on the Lamborghini Miura, it does not work visually and has no interest.
Recently, as part of the Rudi Klein junkyard auction (“The Junkyard: The Rudi Klein Collection”), organized last October in Los Angeles by RM Sotheby’s, a 1967 Lamborghini Miura (pictured below) in poor condition and missing its engine fetched $610,000, or about ā¬565,400.
Finally, with a bit of “elbow grease,” meaning an expensive restoration, this Lambo could end up in a catalog of another auction in a few months or years, with an estimate that could reach $1.1M, as the Miura is highly coveted by car collectors. Who will want the LB-Silhouette WORKS GT Lamborghini Miura? The question is posed. Here it is, to conclude, in a video.
