Lamborghini Miura S: Time For Tea?

The story behind one of Jay Leno's two Lamborghini Miuras...

Yesterday's presentation for the Huracan GT3 was a fascinating affair. Obviously every member of Lamborghini staff was impeccably turned out, the car was very loud in every sense and lunch was fabulous.

But the highlight was the museum. Easily. From Espada to Estoque, there are all the Lamborghinis you know and a couple you may not on two floors. There's even an LM002. Despite so many other distractions though it were the Miuras (an SV and P400) still drawing the most attention. It's just such a pretty shape, so small and delicate in the 21st century that you can't help but stare.

So while it was tempting to feature a Diablo or a Countach or a Murcielago this afternoon, the Miura had to star. This video is of Jay Leno's '69 S (see the episode on his free P400 here) and it's really enjoyable actually. There's a detailed walk around the car, an explanation of its history and a little drive section too. That V12 will surely go down as a one of the great road car engines.

Get the kettle on and indulge a little supercar dreaming for a while. And if your 2015 resolutions are already broken, make a new one that can be kept: go to Bologna and visit the Lamborghini museum.
