Replicated, Not Destroyed
Don’t worry if you’re a purist. The whole philosophy behind this build was to create something that could be driven reliably on long trips. Funny how you always hear reliability attached to the LS-swap. No exception here, with underpinnings that are from a Pontiac Fiero. Hey, it looks the part and goes like hell. What more do you want?
Power to Weight
With Fieros weighing around 2,700 lbs and original Lamborghini Miuras weighing 2,848 lbs, you could venture a guess that this car's weight is somewhere close to the authentic figures. And with the addition of the LS3, this car has way more power than any Miura ever did.

Body Aesthetics
The bodywork is incredibly well done as is the white leather interior. The color combinations chosen for this car scream supercar in your face. It’s truly a work of art that can’t be called a kit car at this point. This is a custom job with tons of labor and attention to detail. You could stare at it all day in your driveway.

Scoff Elsewhere
It would be easy to turn your nose up at this car if you were the owner of an original Miura, but you would be wrong to do so. This hot-rodded version is lighter, faster, cheaper and more reliable to operate than a real Miura.

Best Formula
The Fiero-turned-Miura captures a proven formula that makes cars fast, fun, and enjoyable to drive for years. With looks that kill and 8-cylinders to tear up the pavement, it’s hard to argue with this American bull.
