I wish Lamborghini would create a MIURA replacement
I mean ... a car with a more organic design which echoes the Miura Sensuality instead of following the radical futuristic edge sharp design starded by Countach and followed until today ... Q. why Gandini wasn't involved in Diablo's replacement? Q is it only me or the Porsche 928 headlights layout is a Miura Rip off ? also the mid 70's Ford Maverick's tail always seemed Miura-ish tome just notice those Maverick't taillights come to think of it , I'm starting to like this Maverick angle http://images.google.com.mx/imgres?i...lr%3D%26sa%3DN http://www.dragtimes.com/Ford-Maveri...slip-6930.html Last edited by Miura Jota; 12-11-2006 at 01:08 PM.

Personally, I would have loved to see it remain a truly exclusive one-off, rather than see its memory live on through replicas, copies & copies of replicas such as has happened over the years. Joe www.lamborghiniregistry.com Last edited by joe sackey; 12-14-2006 at 11:51 AM.

Actually what happened is that a man called Enrico Pasolini (a Lamborghini dealer of repute who fancied himself as a racing car driver) was 'joyriding' in the car with another man the day before they were supposed to deliver the car to Alfredo Belponer (Scuderia Brescia Corse). They simply lost control at a teriffic rate of speed and the car was destroyed - crashed, then burned to the ground. The SVJs are all standard SVs modified with some cosmetic Jota features. The SVR is closest to the original Jota albeit modified from a P400. The dry-sumped SVs are simply SVs with a dry sump oiling kit on them. Joe Last edited by joe sackey; 12-14-2006 at 12:51 PM.

i like more the romantic version i have heard many times
for all the Jota ispired cars, they are not Jota but i think you could agree any special miura by the factory is still a desirable collectible car, ...even the SVR Last edited by EMILIO; 12-14-2006 at 01:16 PM.

Joe, Thanks for the great info you provide on the Miura. Its one of my favortie cars (after a long list of Ferrari  ). Usually i dont like replicas but IOTA is soo beautiful and sounds so good that im glad it exists and cant wait to see it in person some day. Is it a UK car ? How many Miuras were *upgraded* to SVJ specs ? And are they worth more than an untouched SV ? Grazie !

THE MIURA COULD NEVER BE A RACING CAR...
With its box-frame monocoque chassis, the Miura's intended purpose was to be high-speed king of the ROAD.
Whenever the Miura was pressed into competition, the results were dismal, to say the least. Porsche F1 driver and European hillclimb Champion Gerhard Mitter drove this example number 3312, the first P400 with thicker-gauge chassis (upgraded from 0.9mm to 1.0mm), for Tobias Steinwinter in 1968. Its efforts only served to convince Dallara that the Miura would never be a racing car, and in September of that year he left Lamborghini. Not many know that the Jota was indeed tested at Monza (this as verified to me by a factory Miura chassis engineer) and the results were so poor that shortly after it was sold to an Italian Lamborghini concessionaire....

About 10 SVs were MODIFIED with Jota features. Some people like them and will pay a premium for them over an SV. However, I cannot tell you how many times a collector has said to me: "I want a nice Miura SV, and for heaven's sake, please not one MODIFIED with all those Jota features". Those individuals value an un-modified SV more and value the Jota-modified SVs less. Its a matter of taste. Either way, in my opinion, since the Miura always was and is a ROAD car, the Jota-type features make the car a bit of a pseudo-comp car with an identity crises IMHO.
