Nice looking car. If anyone mistakes this for that frod GT thing they need a kick in the pants. This car looks 100x better. At the very least the wheels dont look like they are 15x too big for the car.

Looks good but Italian cars should be RED

I always liked the Muria....classic beautiful Italian lines.

I was thinking more like the old 300Z, like an 82 model
(not sure about the year)?

Here's my

:

I haven't seen a whole lot of red Miuras. My uncle has a blue one...

I saw a Ford GT in town the other day, and it looks absolutely sick in person. I have no problem with that car whatsoever...

80's model 300Z? Hmmm....

Actually the original Miura was loosely styled after the GT40 my Mr Lamborghini.

Yeah. I was gonna say that it more resembles the GT40 more than the new Ford GT. But back then just about every car manufacturer had a similar, swoopy looking 2 seater coupe.

No actually it was designed by Bertone who would not model his work after an American made anything unless he was taking a shit

GT40's started out by way of Lola in the UK in 62, raced in 64. Miura was first shown in 65.

Look at the 2 cars side by side in daylight and there was no copying going on. As to which looks better, I can't say. GT40 for my taste, but I'm not going to be in a position to pick between the 2 this week.

As usual, the original looks better than the new one.

Gee then why did the GM of Lamborghini state in teh special on Lamborghini the other night, that Mr Lamborghini took some styling cues from the GT40?

duckdawg · #15 (**permalink**) 01-08-2006, 03:30 PM

I'd own one...

CNI Dawg · #16 (**permalink**) 01-08-2006, 03:52 PM

both the Lambo & the GT40 are beautiful cars.

I'd be jumping for joy to have either one!
Heck....just drive either one once would be Grrreat !

Probably because he is ****in clueless... Think what you want it matters not to me I only commented in this thread for grins & giggles anyway as I am a prior Countach 5000s owner & have been to the Lambo factory prior to the Daimler-Chrysler period.

Because he is wrong. Bertone did the styling with Marcello Gandini as the head of design back then. Together they are responsible for most any of Lamborghini's most recognizable cars.
