J. Mays is moonlighting for Lamborghini? Well, of course not, but then it does look a bit like a Mays-inspired retro design, a GT-ish take on a classic Lamborghini, one close to the original but with a few modern touches. The haunches are big and strong, the sides smoothly edged with graceful lines and an emphasis on headlamps ringed in black on either side of a flat, gently sloping hood. The snub back is strikingly aggressive while the rest of the car is a study of subtle design. The Miura is a darn attractive car, to be sure. Unlike the hit-you-in-the-face designs so popular of late, the Miura is more subtle than that, sneaking up on you when you don’t expect it – and leaving a wonderful impression.
