A digital artist built a modern 350 GT, then dropped a Revuelto V12 under the hood
Lamborghini is spending 2026 celebrating the Miura's 60th birthday. One digital artist decided the brand's actual first car deserved the spotlight instead
Digital artist Mike G., who runs the 'mike.g.concepts' studio, has reimagined the 1964 Lamborghini 350 GT, the company's first production road car, as a modern grand tourer he calls the 650 GT Feroce. It exists only as a rendering shared on Instagram, with no connection to any real Lamborghini program, current or planned.
The car Lamborghini almost never talks about
The original 350 GT is easy to forget next to the Miura, but it came first. Ferruccio Lamborghini launched it at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1964, less than a year after founding the company, built around a 3.5-liter V12 designed by Giotto Bizzarrini, the first double overhead camshaft V12 fitted to a production car. Gianpaolo Dallara engineered the chassis, and Carrozzeria Touring wrapped it in a lightweight aluminum body using its Superleggera method, good for 280 hp and a top speed past 250 km/h. Only around 120 were built before the 400 GT replaced it in 1966, which makes the 350 GT one of the rarest, least-referenced cars in Lamborghini's own history.
What the render keeps from the original
Mike G. built the 650 GT Feroce around that specific car rather than a generic vintage silhouette. The long hood, the compact glasshouse cabin, and the front-engine GT proportions all trace directly back to the 350 GT, with a few styling cues borrowed from its successor, the 400 GT, layered on top. The intent, in his own words, was a design that "honors the original silhouette while incorporating subtle styling cues from the 400 GT," which is a more specific brief than most retro renders bother with.
Where it breaks from the original
The modern touches are deliberate rather than accidental. The headlights and especially the rear end are pulled toward the blocky, aggressive design language Lamborghini now uses on the Revuelto, Temerario, and Urus, so the car reads as the 350 GT filtered through six decades of Lamborghini styling rather than a straight recreation. Under the hood, the artist skipped anything electric and imagined a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12, the same unit found in the Revuelto minus its hybrid assistance, good for 825 hp and 725 Nm of torque in the real car, paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive that exist only as assumptions, not as anything actually modeled.
Why now
Lamborghini already has a packed 2026 without this render's help: the Miura turns 60 this year, the limited-edition Audi Nuvolari borrowed its underpinnings from the Temerario in June, and the Urus SE Performante landed in July with 812 hp and 1,000 Nm of its own. Mike G. looked past all of that toward the one Lamborghini nobody was talking about. Nothing here comes from the factory, there is no leaked patent or executive quote behind it, just one artist's independent tribute to a car that rarely gets one.
AutoNext Take
Everyone reaches for the Miura when Lamborghini's history comes up, and it is easy to forget the 350 GT is the car that actually got the company started. Mike G. picking that one to reimagine, and clearly building the render around its actual proportions and details rather than just slapping modern wheels on a generic old shape, is a better tribute than another Miura render would have been.
None of it is real, and it never claims to be. That does not make it less worth looking at.
