Beautifull video!! Great Making! You was driving on the Futa Pass (Passo della Futa) between Firenze and Bologna in direction of Bologna. This fantastic street is the last part (day) of Mille Miglia race..
Lamborghini V12, nothing sounds quite like it. Such a shame the classic V12 is dying with the Murcielago. The successor to the Murcielago will have an all new V12 designed from scratch. If it can have half the sould of the old V12, people can be grateful.
I am also very grateful this isn't some video in which they drown out the sound of the engine with generic pop music.
I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old DOHC Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree

Awesome driving video and you look one with the car. Would have been perfect with some exterior shots as it dashed past the scenery...guess I'll just have to use my imagination.
Thanks! Yes, it is reliable. This film was taken in Northern Italy about half way around a 3000 mile, 8 day tour. Stelvio Pass altitude, poor quality gas and 35˚C temps affect the running but with no lasting effects. It's a fantastic car - must have been other-worldly 30 years ago!
I've just listened to this on headphones and nearly blew my head off. I love the Espada. The looks, the NOISE and, even more remarkable, the space. There's nothing like the jaw dropping sound of a decent V12.
Maybe he pulled over because you were hammering his ass. Anyway, the Espada is the second best ever Lambo. Miura 1st, but very close.

BossCerbera, what camera mounting gear and sound equipment were used to film this? Were any microphones other than the one on the camera used?
KahnBB6 2 years ago
Three bullet cams - inside; door-mounted, roof-mounted with remote microphones inside the car. Recorded on three separate Sony MiniDV recorders.

Stunning. Thumbs up.
Your Espada sounds gorgeous. It's only proper & correct that your Porsche pacemaker "capitulates" to the 12 POT...
