GTP Cool Wall: Lamborghini Miura P400

[SuperShouden]

Sub-zero. It doesn't even need explanation.

This. It's just that awesome of a car. One of the few in my Ice Box along with the Maserati 3500, The Spyker Ailerion and the XJ220

wtf... a poll for this one?

 

[GT_Prologue5]

Listen to that!

You gotta love it when your speakers AREN'T WORKING!

wtf... a poll for this one?

I see a poll...

 

[Ardius]

I see a poll...

I think he meant that it doesn't need a poll as the outcome is obvious .

 

[Joker-GTBR]

Put her in the nitrogen, 'cause sub zero is too little for this legend

Fail for me.

I sat in a Muira a few years ago... there's absolutely no way I'd ever be able to drive one as they aren't built for anyone over 5'8" tall or who weighs more than 140lbs (65kg).

I'm 5'6, and weigh about 140lbs.

Bring on the Muira.

Oh, and for the record. This is beyond Ice Boxes or Sub Zero. If I had the money, this is the car I'd have above all else.

As Ardius posted earlier in the thread. All you need is this car (the coolest ever) and 'On Days Like These' by Matt Monro.

That sucks.

Straight into a box and FedExed to Siberia during winter time, sub-zero doesn't do justice to how cool this one is.
Do I need to explain? Nah, thought so.

 

[Enigma]

That's true. Gotta vote with the heart. I suggest if you want to hear it at its best, though, that you watch the original "Italian Job" (starring Michael Caine) as the entire opening credits is a romp through the mountains in a Miura.

This car is garbage. That transverse mid-mounted V12 was legendarily finicky, and the carburettors would often drown and die when you came to a stop... which meant restarting the car... if the tiny battery hadn't gone flat. And once you'd finally gotten underway again and built up a head of speed, the twitchy handling and strange aerodynamics meant that you'd either find yourself nose up in the air or nose down in a ditch...

Still... absolutely gorgeous. Sub-zero.

You forgot to mention they also had a nasty habit of setting themselves ablaze

I was thinking meh for this car, its an age thing, any car from before the 70s doesn't really mean that much to me, but I have always liked the Italian job intro, so for that reason I will go for cool.

Cano, I suggested this for the poll and explained in that thread. I did not see the poll in the end but it seems I did not need to vote, it seems people did well.

I understand now I'm not the only one, but I only knew this from a postcard, when I was a kid. Not clear to me how the rest of the world would feel, everyone associated Lamborghini with Diablo, nobody seemed very interested in what came before.

Kaz made it clear when he announced the prototype would be in GT5.

And...we decided to jump in here now, instead of months ago...why?
