This 500HP Lamborghini Miura Is Actually A Pontiac Fiero In Disguise – SlashGear

As noted above, V8Archie is primarily a customization service rather than a replica builder. The Miura/Fiero mashup is less a rehash than a proud statement of intent, uniting the Monte Carlo looks of the Miura with the strong bones of the Fiero, then attaching both to an engine ready to outcompete either. The mid-engine replica boasts a GM LS3 V8, the same plant that powered the C6 Corvette and the mad Drakan Spyder. Between that kind of power and the light, aerodynamic Miura body, the replica puts out an estimated 500 bhp. The result is less a textbook remake than a mighty American muscle car that happens to look like a Lambo.

That said, the details are also immaculate. As CarScoops reports, everything, from the cabin details to the forward-opening hood to the pop-up headlights, fits the Miura like a glove. The engineering rigor wasn’t limited to aesthetics, either. The builders went so far as to increase the car’s wheelbase by five inches so it matched the Miura’s dimensions exactly.

In short, it’s a marvel. V8Archie built something special here – a Lamborghini replica built on the foundation of an American muscle car that somehow does justice to both.
