The Lamborghini Miura — the car that redefined the supercar when it debuted in 1966 — is being reborn six decades later through the brand's latest V12 hybrid flagship. The limited-edition model revives the colors and design language of the original Miura in a modern form, with just 99 units to be built worldwide.

Automobili Lamborghini announced Monday the launch of the Revuelto Miura 60° Hommage to mark the 60th anniversary of the Miura.

The vehicle was developed jointly by Lamborghini's bespoke personalization program Ad Personam and its design center, Centro Stile. The car will make its public debut at the Lamborghini Lounge Monterey during Monterey Car Week in California.

The Miura holds an iconic place in Lamborghini's history. It first appeared in 1966, and the company regards it as the world's first super sports car. Its top-performance variant produced 385 CV and exceeded 290 kilometers per hour, setting a new benchmark for high-performance cars of its era.

The limited edition does more than borrow the Miura's name — it transplants the original car's signature colors and design onto the current flagship high-performance electrified vehicle (HPEV), the Revuelto.

Stephan Winkelmann, chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, said the model was "a special series born to celebrate an important milestone in the brand's history by reinterpreting the V12 HPEV super sports car in a unique way." He added that it "showcases Lamborghini's history and personalization philosophy through the rarity of just 99 units and a heritage-inspired design."

The exterior color palette is drawn directly from past Miura models. Nine standard options are available: Rosso Arancio, Arancio, Giallo, Verde Scandal, Verde Metallic, Blu Tahiti, Blu Note, Nero Noctis and Bianco Monocerus.

The two-tone body treatment that defined the original Miura — with the lower body finished in a contrasting color — has also been recreated. Customers can pair the Oro Elios livery with Altanero shiny gold wheels, or opt for the Grigio Nimbus livery with Altanero matte titanium diamond wheels.

A "Miura 60" logo appears on the rear wheel arch on each side of the car, while a gloss black Lamborghini emblem on the rear evokes the original Miura. Brake calipers are finished in gloss black and the exhaust tips in matte black.

The interior carries echoes of the 1960s Miura as well. The seats feature a modern reinterpretation of the "Cannelloni" pattern used in the original car. Leather trim extends across the center tunnel, door panels and the rear bulkhead between the engine bay and the cabin, with "Miura 60" embroidery stitched between the two seats.

Owners of an original Miura also have a tailored option. Even if their car's color falls outside the nine standard choices, the Ad Personam program can reproduce the exact color combination of their existing vehicle.

The car's limited-run status is marked inside the cabin as well. A dedicated carbon fiber plate on the driver's side is engraved with the inscription "Miura 60° – 1 of 99 Special Series."

While the styling reaches back 60 years, the powertrain is thoroughly modern. The Revuelto pairs a naturally aspirated V12 engine with a hybrid system to produce a maximum output of 1,015 CV and peak torque of 807 Nm.

It accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and has a top speed exceeding 350 km/h. That carries forward the spirit of the original Miura, which itself broke the 290 km/h barrier, now driven by contemporary electrification technology.

Lamborghini currently runs an electrified lineup centered on the Revuelto, the Urus SE and the Temerario. With customer deliveries of the Temerario beginning in the first quarter of this year, all three core models are now on the market.

Financial results show that pricing and product mix are doing more work than volume. Lamborghini delivered 5,422 vehicles in the first half of this year, down 4.6 percent from the same period last year, yet sales rose 7.4 percent to 1.74 billion euros ($2 billion), hitting a record high. Operating profit came in at 395 million euros, with an operating margin of 22.7 percent.
