Championship: Diablo vs. Miura

unfortunatly i've never seen a miura in person and because imo the diablo stands for every thing an exoitc should be, it gets my vote

 

Hard to vote for me - Miura is flat out art, sculpture. Diablo is a bit more of a car in my mind. That may sound utterly stupid, it even looks stupid as I re-read it, but I can't put it much better. I guess what puts me over the top is the greater functionality of the Diablo in a body that, to me, is still chiseled and quite likely, timeless. While I could never argue the Miura to be anything but sensual, beautiful even, the Diablo appeals to the 'car guy' side of me more for whatever reason. YMMV

 

The simplicity of The Miura is what makes it so beautiful you have to put yourself in 1967 to appreciate it, impossible for the younger generation who think that Gallardos actually look like a Lamborghini, when in fact they more resemble a German tank. Nice car but Not a Lambo.

 

I didn't mean everyone who votes for D is a kid, but that:

My 'kids comment' is that younger members who don't know the history of Lambo, or any of its models before 1980 will will skew the poll against what they see as a dated (because its older then them) slow (because it is slower many exotic cars today) car.'


That doesn't mean EVERYONE would still vote for M. Just that it will be skewed.

This is akin to having a vote for whether a F50 or a 250 LM is better. That poll too would be skewed in a similar manner.

In Lambo terms, start a poll whether Lambo should make an(other) SUV. I can guarantee you a sig. portion of those responding will not even know the LM ever existed, and thereby think it against the very nature of Lambo to build one.

 

The Miura wins to me. It really put Lamborghini on the map, without that car, or the Countach, there would be no Diablo. I would be tickeled pink, however to have either. I drove a Countach a month ago, could not believe how badly I fit in it, and I am 6 foot, 170 lbs. What I have read about the Diablo sounds pretty good however.

 

MIURA SV!!! ALL THE WAY BABY!!

You really have to see a Miura in person to realize how wild it is.... then drive one and your hooked!!

 

Wow it's close. I'm impressed with the sophisticated crowd who appreciates the REAL Lambo's!

I've seen a few Miuras in person and 10 times as many Diablos. Maybe it's my age but the classics never did it for me. I'm all for the Diablo.

 

before you vote for that 90's car , take a look at this pic posted by Frank (reply # 54) http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=70475&page=3&pp=20

I must say that everytime I have the chance to stare at a Miura in the flesh
or at very least enjoy a good Miura pic
it reminds me of why I decided to name my daughter after her.
gorgeous piece of sensual art.

also I must admit it DIABLO is the best name any car has ever had.

( I hope this poll is not an age matter)

No doubt about it... Miura. In fact I am looking for one so if you see one for sale shoot them my way!

Diablo has my vote. The Miura just looks like an old car.

 

There will be a 1970 Lamborghini MIURA S up for auction December 10 in Palm Beach. Email me at [email protected] for details.

 

Great looking car, Frank. Now you have a color I could live with.
I feel the Diablo market firming with the results of this poll.

 

I'm trying to figure out how to vote like they do in Chicago.

 

AJ, what are you working on right now? Projects?

 

I am looking forward to seeing my first Miura in person.

 

Muscle, cash, and connections?
