  • The Miura is the ultimate Delegation Special - it exists only because Ferruccio Lamborghini backed off and allowed his team of young, talented engineers and designers to do what they do best.
    A finicky mid-engined supercar is the opposite of the Rolls-Royce-like GTs that Ferruccio wanted to build, yet it's the Miura that singlehandedly elevated Lamborghini to the likes of Ferrari.
    The four men chiefly behind the car were all in their twenties when the Miura debuted:
    Giampaolo Dallara, 29, senior engineer
    Paolo Stanzani, 29, assistant engineer
    Bob Wallace, 27, chief development engineer
    Marcello Gandini, 27, designer
    The Miura used the 4-liter Bizzarrini V-12 designed for the 350GT and 400GT, rotated by 90º and mounted transversely in a casting that included the transmission and differential. Power claims were all over the map, but Road & Track's test car banged off a 0-60 in 5.5 seconds, through the quarter-mile in 13.9 sec @ 107.5 mph, and achieved a top speed of 168 mph, making it the fastest car in the world, at the time.
    Performance numbers are only a small part of the Miura story. Learn the full backstory here - and see why delegation is so important. To quote Marcello Gandini: "To make exceptional things, you must have complete freedom.”
    The proof is in the Miura.

      @iambism: looking back through my many years of trial, error, failures, and successes, if found that my best work is realized after consciously reminding myself, “don’t overcook it.”
      Realize, though, it’s one thing to remind yourself to not “overcook” the project at hand - however, the most important, unspoken, and ultimately most essential portion of the equation is _you _*_must_*_ listen to yourself when you say “stop” in order for it to work._
      If you can’t listen to your own instinctual advice, be prepared to scrape your project into the compost pile of overcooked ideas and once again start over from scratch…

    Your mention of the difference in management style between Ferrari & Lamborghini reminds me of how intense it was.
    I was traveling the circuits with Paul Hawkins and Frank Gardener in either 1965 or 1966??. - memory is not what it used to be.
    Frank had crashed at Pau so we returned to Modena for repairs where we were kindly allowed to use the workshops of Scuderia Serenissima. Whilst there we were offered the use of the very first Miura but the proviso was that we took accommodation very near Ferrari’s factory entrance and we were to leave at the same time as Ferrari’s work force arrived to clock on and return when they clocked off AND we were to drive like lunatics - as much wheel-spin as possible!!! No problem...
    Apparently Enzo was always having major bust ups with his staff and Lamborghini wanted experienced personnel, particularly disgruntled ones! I remember the start of the Lambo production line starting in the largest factory I had ever seen.

      @@bikes7777 I tend to not bother because 1) when i present something i really know and really like, i get high and energetic. The body naturally follows the speech and waving/flailing your arms are the means where you release that energy. And 2) There's no point in having you see the presenter if all he does is be still. 3) When you present at this level, you need a bit of theater. I understand the fake personality angle. No one speaks like that daily, but if you have to capture an audience's attention, you need to be polished, concise, and firm. If you like a more natural conversation style, Engineering Explained's Jason Fenske could be more of your thing.

When I learned what they were like to own (I worked with doctors that owned those cars), I changed my mind, and wanted the 928 that had just rolled out.

    Thanks for a really great, well told story, Jason. This has been my very favorite car since it first came out. I temember reading the article in road and track in 1966 or 1967 and I still remember that picture of the engine and chassis only. In the summer of 1968 I traveled across New York City solo for the first time to see this car at the New York auto show. It was as beautiful as the model standing next to it. The summer of 1969 I was working corners at the racetrack in Salt Lake City Utah. I saw a Miura was the course marshal’s ride going around the track between races. I dropped everything I went down to beg the owner to take the around the track. Finally after the next to last race, he acquiesced, and I went around the track twice in this stunning lime green Miura. Probably the best car related memory of my entire life.

    Spring of 1968, in Santa Barbara, CA, I was driving my '66 Triumph Spitfire MK2, through Porter Ranch...all of a sudden a Miura was on my tail. I sped up and kept one eye in the rear view mirror, looking at one of the most beautiful cars ever made (The XK-E is in this short list). That was one of my favorite memorys. Once on the 55 freway in OC, a Ferrari past me at 10pm, I sped up, got close behind him, listening to his V12 engine roar. Pretending it was my engine note. I finally turned around in Palm Springs, and went to Sambo's pancake house for a 5 cent cup of coffee before driving home to OC. Top down in winter time all the way home I could hear the V12 in my mind.

    My father had an early Miura in his Italian car collection, mostly 60s Alfas and Ferraris. The Miura was a beast to drive. Heavy pedals and steering, HUGE gated shifter, and LOUD.. In college in the early 80's we spent summers wrenching on and driving the cars. Driving the Miura required what I called "brute finesse". Driven timidly, it was a pig, but when driven with precise deliberate confidence the car came alive. I could only drive that way for about 20 min before having to stop, rest and switch drivers. Ferraris of the same vintage, say Daytona or 275 GTB were so much more refined and comfortable. 2-3 hour tour in a Ferrari, easy. 2-3 hours in a Miura and you would be dehydrated, sore and deaf. God, I loved that car.

    Eric I always say time and place are responsible for so much of our life’s experience. You must be a bit older than I but we have some parallel experiences. My Brothers and I “borrowed” ours Uncles MG TC in 1966 and drove it from North Hollywood all the way to Laguna Beach. We were filling the tank at PCH and Laguna Canyon when a police car pulled in and the officer got out and approached us. We held our breath as he admired the car. My older Brother was at the wheel and he looked older than his age 17 at the time.
    Beverly Hills had the dealership that sold all the Italian exotica and we would go there as often as possible and annoy the sales staff especially when they got their first Miuras in and had one sitting next to a GT. The Miura was in that lime green colour that was unique at the time. In 1973 15:00 when I returned from having lived in London I ordered a lime green X19 from that same dealership.I always referred to it as my poor mans Lamborghini.
    I bet you remember the British specialty mechanics on Coast Village Road. My friend had Mimi Cooper S and we would go there for special add ons. Memories can be great my friend. Thanks for sharing yours.

    Back in 1971, there was a red Miura, always visible from the road although in a house with very nice grounds. The owner was the son of an Australian millionaire - at a time when there were't a lot of millionaires in Ireland. I believe he was studying here at Trinity College,
    I wasn't quite 20 but was getting married and really thought it would be so nice to drive my bride from the church to the reception in. I wrote to the owner and, to my surprise, I never got a reply.
