Automobili Lamborghini used the setting of the Anantara Concorso Roma to present a Miura restored by its heritage division, Lamborghini Polo Storico. The appearance placed one of the brand’s most historically significant models within a curated field of classic and modern automobiles in central Rome.
The Miura remains a defining model for Lamborghini, widely recognized as one of the first mid-engine supercars to bring race-derived layout and performance into a road-going format. Presented by Polo Storico, the example shown in Rome emphasized restoration accuracy and period-correct detailing, aligning with the department’s focus on preserving original specifications.
Lamborghini Polo Storico
Established in 2015, Lamborghini Polo Storico oversees the restoration, certification and archival documentation of the brand’s historic models. Its work spans early production cars including the Miura, Espada and Countach, with restorations typically returning vehicles to factory-correct condition using original materials and documented build data.
At events such as Rome, Polo Storico’s presence serves both as a showcase of completed restorations and as a point of contact for owners seeking certification or preservation work. The Miura on display reflected that approach, highlighting craftsmanship and historical continuity rather than modification or reinterpretation.
Anantara Concorso Roma
The Anantara Concorso Roma was held in Rome, Italy, from April 24–27, 2026, with displays staged across select locations including areas surrounding Villa Borghese. Positioned as a newer addition to the European concours calendar, the event combines traditional judged classes with a broader lifestyle program that includes hospitality, brand activations and public-facing exhibitions.
Unlike more established concours events held in more remote or estate settings, the Rome format places vehicles within the urban environment, allowing for greater public access while maintaining a curated field. The result is a mix of formal judging and accessible display, with historic cars positioned against the backdrop of the city.
A Miura in Context
Within that setting, the Miura’s presence aligned with the event’s broader emphasis on heritage and design. While modern and contemporary vehicles were also part of the program, the Polo Storico example underscored Lamborghini’s early design and engineering direction, presented in a format that prioritized authenticity over spectacle.
As concours events continue to expand beyond traditional formats, Rome’s approach—combining central locations with curated displays—provides a different context for historic models. For Lamborghini, it offered a platform to present the Miura not just as a standalone icon, but as part of an ongoing effort to preserve and document its early production history.
