Vehicles you don't see on the road anymore

Apparently the transmissions on these things were like glass. If you launched off-the-line and let the wheels spin at all you'd destroy the transmission. I believe it was Top Gear (or some automotive show) that did a segment on this.

Cool looking cars but in no way worth it. There's a guy here in town who has a red one.

Me personally, I prefer the Diablo!

These are go fast top speed cars , not pull the front wheels as you boil the hides cars . I'm amazed how I love just about every car built , and they are totally different !

Agreed. One of the best looking Lamborghinis, actually any brand, supercars ever built.

Interesting note about the V12 used in the Miura:

The first iterations of the transversely mounted V12 had an annoying harmonic vibration that the engineers couldn't get rid of.

They solved it by running the engine in the opposite direction.
 
Beautiful color on there. :love: Only topped by this one.

I haven't seen a bad color on those cars. I don't think it's possible, not even yellow. :sneaky:

Love that blue as well...and that side on shot, what a beaut. I wouldn't turn any color down, if I'm being honest. :D

Speaking of the Muira and color, in case anyone was wondering...

I think there were legal issues involving that when those cars were new. It seem like the first cars had no interior rear view mirror and/or rear window since it was useless, but to make them road legal Lambo slapped something together.



Same here. Diablo was the Lambo of my childhood.



You know, with my Jeep being the exception, I absolutely hate cleaning the inside of windshields. Having to do something like a Lamborghini would probably send me over the edge. I don't know what it'd cost, but if I owned something like that, I'd have to pay someone to clean the windshield. :LOL:

I hear there's this guy named Andy something that could likely hook you up with windshield cleaning ....:LOL:
