Liberty Walk Launches Miata and Miura Body Kits
Japan’s most flamboyant tuning company Liberty Walk has announced mods for the Lamborghini Miura and Mazda Miata ensuring that all bases are covered when it comes to enraging auto enthusiasts.
The minute Mazda has, for 35 years and four generations, been subject to all manner of modifications, which have even been actively encouraged by the Hiroshima brand, but taking a grinder to a Miura will be viewed as being as sacrilegious as graffiti on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
The Liberty Walk Silhouette Works GT Lamborghini Miura will officially be revealed at the Tokyo Auto Salon on January 10 where a detailed breakdown of the heretical conversion will be available. By Liberty Walk standards it’s actually quite restrained, with the donor P400 retaining its trademark headlamp lashes, and the glorious Gandini bodywork stretched in all directions, but without LB’s typical bolt-on arch extensions. Black carbon fiber aero components including side flics, a deep spoiler and huge rear diffuser which contrast with the plain white paintwork. A massive rear wing is fitted and wide Yokohama Advan racing tires sit on dished black alloys.
The Miura isn’t the first Lamborghini Liberty Walk has laid hands on, with the Huracán, Murcielago, Aventador and even the Countach all receiving treatment. However, it’s fair to say that none have been more likely to experience the wrath of classic car connoisseurs.
Miata fans may be more welcoming of the company’s new body kit for the ND Miata, however. Comprising front and rear diffusers, ducktail rear wing and extended arches the kit is available for $4,675 in fiber reinforced plastic or $6,248 in carbon fiber. Wheels and tires are extra, as is the slammed suspension of the show car.
Sorry. But when it comes to Liberty Walk, the question is inevitably “why”?
What they need is a body kit that makes a Miata look like a Miura. 🙂
Now that’s something I’d buy for mine.
That’s what J thought this was at first. I got super excited.
That Miata kit is basic looks like ever other Miata widebody.
They ruin everything they touch. Looks stupid and should be illegal on a Miura.
There just a glorified RWB
