Kyosho 1/18 Lamborghini Miura SVR (Black) Diecast Model Car

Among the supercars that appeared one after another from the end of the 1960s, the most deified car was the "Jota (called J in the company)" built by Lamborghini test driver and engineer Bob Wallace as a pre-development car for the minor change of the Miura. It was made as a one-off in 1970 in accordance with FIA racing regulations, and was equipped with a dry sump engine that produces over 400 PS. As a result of widening the body and promoting thorough weight reduction, it was a special specification with a different appearance from the original Miura, such as riveted panels and fixed headlights. After tens of thousands of km of testing, it was sold to the public, but unfortunately it was scrapped in 1971 after a major accident that could not be repaired. However, fans who knew the existence of the Jota continued to make passionate requests to "make it in the same specifications," and more than 10 replicas have been created to date, including body modifications at Lamborghini headquarters. One of them is the "Miura SVR" that is still owned in Japan, and is characterized by a wider body than the original Jota and a retrofitted roof wing. It was imported to Japan in 1976, right in the middle of the supercar boom, and became widely known after being used as the model for the manga "Circuit Wolf" and appearing at car shows and in automotive media across the country. It is currently being preserved in excellent working order after a year and a half of restoration and modification at Lamborghini's heritage division, Polo Storico.
