Lamborghini miura concept presented at L.a. auto show

Famed supercar maker Lamborghini taps deep into its mid-1960s heritage, teasing the public with a striking Miura concept for the January 2006 Los Angeles Auto Show.

The Miura concept was created in part to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the original Miura, which was introduced in 1966. The Miura was among the first automobile designs offered by Lamborghini, and it's generally credited as the world's first mass-production mid-engine supercar.

This new incarnation of the Miura is strictly a concept, but Lamborghini says it isn't ruling out the idea of a production version.

The Miura concept will also be on display at the upcoming North American International Auto Show, in Detroit.
