Lovely

Shame it will hardly ever get driven.

Seeing as when it was delivered to Lamborghini prior to its restoration it was showing signs of wear and tear, I somehow think Monsieur Todt will enjoy using it.

Given that my primary association of Today is with Ferrari during the Schumacher era, I find it vaguely ironic that he's got one of these.

I presume he has some Ferraris, too.

Either way, hats off to him for having good taste.
Hope he drives it.

Its the car that was the blueprint of what the modern supercar should be, made by the company set up by a man with a vision of wanting to school ferrari in how to make sports cars. Have to laugh.

former head of Ferrari handed keys back to his Lambo from a former head of Ferrari now CEO of Lamborghini.

Could only happen in the weird world of Italian supercars.

Since leaving the Modena stress factory and joining the Wolfsburg payroll, Stefano Domenicali looks 10 years younger. And he’s remembered how to smile.

And in other news: Netflix announces three two-hour specials featuring highlights from Maurizio Arrivabene’s 2019 standup comedy tour.

Cool, cool and more COOL!

Now that's a proper car.

That's just sums it up...

+1 from me too. Those curves..... a lot of modern designs have become clinical and converging on the same look. This.... this probably fails numerous modern design requirements, but it's gorgeous.

Like the modern design requirement that it not generate dangerous levels of front end lift at speed, for example.

But, yes, it is without a doubt a thing of beauty even now.

Funnily enough, the Jaguar E-type has never done anything for me aesthetically, but the Muira most certainly does.

Agreed; it might be something to do with the weirdly narrow track on a standard E Type.

I'm probably mistaken but I seem to recall in early road tests of the Muira at 150+ you could turn the wheels lock to lock without changing trajectory all down to front end lift

Yes but that's like complaining the Sistine Chapel has a crap power to weight ratio!

Wow! Never had any love for the miura but this one might've just changed that

Absolutely stunning!
