Pebble Beach Concours: Lamborghini Muira Prototype wins Polyphony Digital Award

[EJ25RUN]

I am an exuberant fan of the Gran Tursimo series and also a big fan of its creator Kazunori Yamauchi. Besides introducing the world to GT, being fully involved with the development of the Nissan R35 GT-R, and being allowed to model Ferrari's 2007 F1 car, he was a guest at the 2008 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Kaz was a judge at the show and was there to award the Polyphony Digital Trophy to a deserving car.

This event rises above just video games as this is the ultimate classic car event and only the greatest cars win here.

Besides being a guest of the event, Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi was an honorary judge.

2008 Best of Show - 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 B Touring

2008 Polyphony Digital Trophy - 1966 Lamborghini Miura P400 prototype

Just like always this is not an automatic sign that Lamborghini will be in GT5 but it shows that it is more likely.

Oh, I thought it was a new Lambo based on the old Miura.

That was an interesting thing and i had the pleasure of seeing it in person when i visited the Lamborghini museum and factory in 2007.

I got to admit that the 1966 car is far more important to Lamborghini and automotive history though.

Not a picture i took but here is the location. I guess they move the cars around because it was in a different spot when i visited.
