Lamborghini Miura history and drive review. Mega sound!

The world's first mid-engined supercar, the Miura was created by a group of young engineers pushing the boundaries for a road car. It was stunning in 1966 and is still stunning today..

Any youtuber would have used a clickbait title like "I DRIVE A 1.3 MILLION POUNDS LAMBORGHINI ON THE STREETS". Harry doesn't do that, and I'm grateful for that.

Yes, one of his many qualities that makes him so appealing. A genuine, intelligent gentleman.

Interesting that harry describes how bob wallace and his team drove the miura all day at 150mph to develop it, but how he (harry) wasnt usually keen on pushing a miura? What the hell was bob doing all day?

I was just watching the smoking tire podcast, and one of the guest casually said "I think I am ready to buy a Miura SV".. The silence in the room was hilarious! Rich people don't really think about the price like us peasants, if they did they wouldn't be able to justify spending it

[@andreasioannou3627]

This brings wonderful memories of when I was a child, my father had a white SV with all the extras like Britax racing seat belts! The engine noise is pure mechanical music, the body shape is absolutely stunningly beautiful and no car has ever come close to its beauty in my opinion. Great review by the way.

[@kha7705]

Wow. I am stunned. Even 4 years later. Your dad had a white Miura sv? ??? Life must be good at Andreas's house 🏠 😊

Why do so many people think its one if them best looking ever? Idk, I was never crazy about it. Personally I think the McLaren F1 is the most timeless design ever!

BOTH are Masterpieces. But the marvelous Miura is the FIRST ever mid-engine road car. More than 30 years before the supra F1. Think about it. Being filthy rich, I'd own both, of course.

TBH, I don't imagine that even the fastest human on Earth would present much of a challenge to a sports car. 🙄 Oh, you mean while you were actually driving another car? Again, no commoners cars, and very few cars of *any* sort in the 70s, would've got within a country mile of a Miura.

[@aussiebloke609]

Arguably the most beautiful car ever produced. The Countach's styling is outrageous - but the Miura is stunning. :-)

I was born the same year as the Muira. As a child I had a diecast model of one and I was captivated by it’s flowing curves, and the way the rear hinged up to see the engine. I still am! There’s some beautiful cars from other eras, but to me this is the sexiest car ever built.

[@Pulsonar]

Me too, the Miura, and, Maserati Bora were my fave die cast model road cars. The Ferrari 330 P4 and Ford GT40 my fave race cars models. Then seeing my toys come to life in films and TV motor sports more or less captured my soul for life. 50+ years later and I’m reduced to the same excited kid of 1970 when these beautiful machines come into view especially the Miura, the sexiest beast of a car ever built IMO. I feel quite privileged to have lived as a kid in that era, finding out later in life that it was the golden age of sports cars on road and track!

[@Pulsonar]

The most beautiful supercar of all time. In 50 years, there have been many great cars but none have even come close to matching the sheer sinuous perfection of the Miura.

[@TheJaytotheBee]

The silhouette of the Miura is just jaw-dropping

[@Virtuoso23]

It is like Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, just decades ahead of the times.

[@TK42138]

Still the best looking car ever to leave the Lamborghini factory.

For sure pure uncluttered lines it sort of just flows from front to back and forms this automotive masterpiece the modern designers could learn so much from the fellows that went before nowadays o reckon there’s to much emphasis on computer modelling and wind tunnels

Harry it is so nice to see you in action again, and with one of the most beautiful, iconic, important works of automotive art ever conceived. I don’t know how in the world you come by all these opportunities to drive the best cars ever made, but I’m thankful you do. I’ve been reading your articles for a long time and thoroughly enjoyed every one. But I personally have been more influenced by these videos over the last several years (both with Evo and on your own) than I ever was beforehand. Please keep enjoying and sharing as long as you’re able. I will savor every one.

[@millipar6620]

First, thank you for your wonderful reviews, which I think are still among the best you can find. Of course even Harry cannot possibly know everything... just a little note aside: Wallace was a test driver, not an engineer, he did not design anything, but he did have a big part in development. The engineers were Paolo Stanzani and Giampaolo Dallara, they designed the chassis, the semi-monocoque, the engine/gearbox layout, Marcello Gandini penned the body (all by himself in a very short time)

[@Bruno-jc9lx]

All true, bravo
