Lamborghini won't build Miura or other retro cars

Lamborghini will not build any retro-themed vehicles in the foreseeable future, according to CEO Stephan Winkelmann. "Retro design is not what we are here for. So we won’t do the Miura, even as a limited edition," Mr. Winkelmann told the U.K.'s Car magazine.

And old designs aren't the only thing the Italian automaker will be leaving in the past. The company also won't resurrect retired nameplates, according to Winkelmann. He said spiritual successors to the the Espada or LM002 could be built, but they would go by new names.

Lamborghini unveiled the Miura concept in January at the Detroit auto show. After its showing, Winkelmann said the Miura could be built in limited numbers as a special edition model. It seems those plans will never materialize.
