Hugo, here we have two Lamborghini Miura, an S and an SV, because the only thing better than a Miura is two Miura. Here we have one from 1971, an SV and an S from 1969. This one has a bit more horsepower, but I’ll tell you, the pleasure is always great. Yes, as well as being the ultimate evolution, I think, as it is common to say, the more civilized and smoother to use, which is normal due to the evolution being meant to be a GT. Ferruccio Lamborghini’s idea was never for this to be a racing car. That whole team, Bizzarrini, Dallara Stanzani, Bob Wallace… their focus was a racing car, and spent the entire production period of the Miura asking to be allowed to make a racing car. But that was never Ferruccio’s intention, he knew he didn’t have the power to compete with Ferrari and Lamborghini’s other natural rivals in this chapter, and didn’t want to risk going to the races and destroying all his capital. I wanted to make an excellent road car, and this revolutionary format only happens because there is an extraordinary team of people working there, very young, because I think Bob Wallace was 29, the others were 27, 25 years old, they were all very young. So, they were people who had a great desire to innovate and were geniuses, and he I didn’t want to stop them, I let them do it to the limit of what they could do. which could be an excellent racing car, there’s no chance of contradicting that the It is evident that the GT40 was an inspiration, a lot because of its shape, but it was never the focus. The focus was on being a GT, so once the car was made, the aim was always to refine it, without doing anything too radical. Although there are one or two special versions that are very radical, but the idea of the SV was always to be more powerful but more civilized. I love this car, I’ve always loved this car. To begin with, it has completely timeless lines. I often say that if this car were presented today, people wouldn’t They’d be surprised, they’d accept that it was a modern car, because it’s so timeless and just compare it to the Lamborghini Countach, which has the same engine but, clearly, we look at it and see that it’s a dated car, with the look of the future from the 80s, from space, but clearly from the past. Then I think there really is a line between feminine and aggressive and something else What I love about these cars is the history, the irreverence of this team, 20-something years old. I know that history is full of myths, that Ferruccio didn’t know that they were doing the project, which they did in their free time, which was full of experimentation and ideas and things outside what was the standard at the time, but the truth is that they did, for me, the best Lamborghini ever, the most iconic Lamborghini ever and, Today, it’s a much-loved car that continues to perform superbly. I love riding in this car, you can feel the engine behind you making its 385 horsepower scream, you really feel the power, you feel the elements of the car, the car’s relationship with the road, with nature. Then at the same time there’s also this super cool 60s, 70s look. Whatever the version, I think it really is the fashion icon. I think it’s the aesthetics that make it a car that spans generations. People of any generation love the Miura more than any other Lamborghini. The line is indeed timeless, but I have a relationship with this car as a enthusiastic, which reminds me a little of Mário de Sá-Carneiro’s novel. Of the madness in which there was a sculptor whose wife was so beautiful that he wanted to prove to her that he liked her, not because she was very beautiful, but because he liked the inside her and then, at some point, she gives him the stupid idea of disfiguring her with acid, to keep loving her for who she was, and this car gives me that feeling, because it’s so celebrated, because of its aesthetics, forgetting what it is. is the technical premise of the car and we must not forget that when this car began to be sold, when the first copies were actually sold and paid, this fantastic bodywork created by Gandini, didn’t exist. It was a chassis that appears in the salon, with a transversely mounted engine, which created a fascination about the car, and that, for me, is the real great achievement. It’s the brilliance of placing the engine in a way that nobody would have thought of, although there were Bugatti racing cars and other cars with transverse engines. A decision that had Ferrari racing afterwards because of it. Exactly. And I think the technical premise is the most exciting thing about the car. But as soon as we are next to them, unless we’re driving, the aesthetics make us forget everything. But as you say, the car has a lot of little stories and little secrets. One of them, for example, it is that on the chassis the car has all these biscuits cut out because, although it doesn’t seem like it, all of them are weight when combined. Therefore, it was a clever way of taking weight off the car, to make it more efficient, by cutting out circles without affecting the structure of the chassis, but taking weight off it. And indeed, the Lamborghini, and this mode, the Miura itself, has many of these clever details, which aren’t as well known or celebrated, but which make it a very special car. The fact that it is so exciting, both in terms of its aesthetics and technique, generates some myths. Bob Wallace, who developed the car from start to finish, tends to soften some of the stories that were told, particularly about the front lifting after a certain speed and he explained that that happened with a certain test car, in which they set up an engine, one of the many special ones that they had with more power, to challenge a journalist, who he said was one of the few journalists who really knew how to drive. And this isn’t flattering for my field, but it’s perfectly logical and understandable. He was a journalist who pushed cars to the limit, and he thought it would make sense to let him test with an engine that was more powerfull than the original P400. So, he got a big fright, went back to the factory, said he didn’t want to drive that car anymore and that somehow generated a myth that the car was which was extremely dangerous, and which rose on the front. It’s logical that there is an aerodynamic imperfection and from a certain point it occurs some lift and that’s precisely what the front of the SV is trying to correct. But it’s not so fantastic and as frightening as it would actually be in Miura mythology. It’s true, these cars are beautiful and should be celebrated, and the way to to celebrate them is to drive them… So, that’s what we are going to do.
