Happy 50th Miura


Ferrucio, a man with great motoring ambition. A man that so wanted to keep up with the Ferrari’s and all because he bought a 250 with a clutch that he notes was no different to that on his tractors.  He wanted to create better.  Well that’s what they say.
​
In 1965, yes 50 years ago, the Miura’s rolling chassis made its first appearance at the Turin motor show and then debuted in 1966 at the 36th Geneve show.  Its greatest appearance was in Monte Carlo, seducing many with its new sound and its Nuccio Bertone crafted curvaceous body.  Why even the ladies found a new friend.  Heartbeats must have raised, jackets and garments will have been pulled  off and I guarantee people would be covered in goosebumps everywhere on hearing the sound.  Still today the Miura turns heads and seduces people.

The Miura was originally conceived by two of Ferrucio’s engineers Giampaolo Dallara and Paolo Stanzani.  Something they had done in their spare time and as told against the wishes of Ferrucio. 

All Lamborghini’s proudly hold the Raging Bull emblem and even in naming the cars the thought of the bull fighting scene was considered.  The Miura was named with respect to one of Ferrucio’s family of friends.  One Don Eduardo Miura, a Spanish breeder of fighting bulls.

One of the most popular scenes with the Miura will be from the Italian Job.  The music by Matt Monro is a fitting addition of the seduction and emotion that the car evokes.  So lets watch the scene and immerse in the feeling of the car.  Feel the 60’s and understand that without this car Lamboughini’s today would not have been.
