Among the numerous supercars that were being produced from the late 1960s, one of the most deified is the Lamborghini Jota (referred to in-house simply as 'J'). Lamborghini development engineer and chief test driver, Bob Wallace, built the Jota around an uprated Miura in 1970 as a one-off according to FIA race regulations and with an engine equipped with a dry sump that produced over 400ps. With its wider body and comprehensive weight reduction, the Jota was fitted with different specifications to the Miura such as riveted panels and fixed headlights. After thousands of kilometers of test driving the Jota was sold publicly, but unfortunately had to be scrapped in 1971 after a catastrophic crash. However, fans who knew about the Jota's existence continued to request similar specifications. More than 10 replicas have been created so far, including body modifications at Lamborghini headquarters. One of these was the 'Miura SVR' which featured a wider body than the original Jota and an aftermarket roof wing. Imported into Japan in 1976 in the middle of the supercar boom, this model featured in the hit manga series 'Circuit Wolf' and continues to appear at car shows and in automotive media nationwide. Subsequently, the Jota has been undergoing restoration and modification for a year and a half at 'Polo Storico' (Lamborgini's heritage center) and has been returned to excellent condition. This is a diecast model. This is not a functional Radio Controlled vehicle.Includes:
