Miura eyelashes
Discussion
Form or function ?
They disappeared on the vented disked SV .
Did they just disguise huge holes originally or did the huge holes provide ventilation to the front wheel well in the early solid disked cars ?
With Gandini s other mid engines incarnations which come later ..Ferrari GT 4 ( Bertone ) , Stratos , Urraco he did air scoops at the lateral aspects of the front radiator ducting air discretely to the front disks .
Miura was his ( and his team at the time ) first attempt at “Posteriore “ engine .
Below std M400
Below M400SV
This car had a wider lower front grill and more under air vents ...improved lower air flow through the front ....was it to the rad only or rad + brakes ?

Thx 456 mgt .I was hoping an owner would chime in .
Yes I thought as much Gandini was disguising the Fiat 850 Carellos .
Agree with your philosophy .
Hard to decline fitting eyelashes to a Miura .
Theres similar badge and decal nuances with Bertone 76/77 “ Dino “ GT 4s .....another Gandini piece of art .
