1970 Lamborghini Miura Jota Pictures, Specifications, Information

Only one factory Miura S Jota was ever built by Lamborghini, although they did build five replicas of the car due to customer requests. The car was the idea of Bob Wallace, Lamborghini's test driver and development engineer, who wanted to see if the Miura could compete in racing. Although it was never actually raced, the Jota upgrade for the Miura included several racing modications. Fixed headlights replaced the pop-up ones, and the car received a front spoiler and brake ducts. The engine received more aggressive camshafts, increased compression, and a racing exhaust. Weight was reduced by stripping the interior of the car and the windows were replaced with fixed plexiglass ones. The original Miura S Jota was destroyed in 1972 when it was involved in a wreck. Lamborghini, however, has made an exact replica of the car.
