Liberty Walk, the Japanese tuner renowned for its bold widebody transformations, is set to unveil its latest project at the Tokyo Auto Salon in January 2025: a radically reimagined Lamborghini Miura. Known for its disruptive approach to iconic cars, Liberty Walk’s latest effort breathes new life into a rusted and neglected Miura while sparking a familiar debate among automotive enthusiasts.
The Miura, often regarded as the first true supercar, holds a sacred place in the hearts of Lamborghini fans. Its sleek, timeless design and naturally aspirated V12 engine are icons of 1960s and ’70s automotive excellence. However, Liberty Walk has never been one to shy away from controversy. The tuner’s history includes a widebody Ferrari F40 that reportedly led to Ferrari removing the car from its official registry, as well as a Countach overhaul that divided opinions in 2023.
This time, Liberty Walk is focusing on a Miura that appears far from pristine. Images reveal a car stripped of its original bodywork, exposing a rusty frame. While purists may lament any alteration to the Miura’s original design, others may appreciate Liberty Walk’s effort to restore the car’s famed V12 engine and give the neglected classic a new lease on life.
Details about the Miura’s modifications remain under wraps, but it’s expected to feature Liberty Walk’s signature aggressive fender flares, a lowered stance, and custom wheels. The reveal promises to ignite fierce discussion at the Tokyo Auto Salon, as fans of automotive history and customization collide.
Whether viewed as an act of sacrilege or creative revitalization, Liberty Walk’s widebody Miura challenges the boundaries of what’s acceptable in car culture. One thing is certain: this bold project will draw plenty of attention, keeping Liberty Walk at the center of the custom supercar conversation.
