Lamborghini Miura Framed Print
Put into production in 1966, the Lamborghini Miura was the first supercar with a rear mid-engined two-seat layout, and also the fastest production car on the road. Its performance was notable, but over time it became equally as famous for Marcello Gandini's design, which set the aggressive tone of the Lambos to follow. Pictured here in Arancio Miura (orange), the photo shows off the rear half of the car, including the muscular rear shoulders above the rear wheels, the fins behind the steeply-raked door, and the slats that provided an obscured view of the V12 underneath. It's printed on 10 mil thick Epson Ultra Premium Luster Photo Paper and arrives in a sturdy black or white wooden frame.
Size: 18" x 24"
