Lamborghini Miura SVJ

[yksnimus]

the fuck is the way this guy talk

[Ruinationnn]

Fuck you Nicolas Cage!

[cpolcwiartek]

when was this made

[th3b0untyhunter]

@cpolcwiartek - iirc it was filmed sometime in 2000

[th3b0untyhunter]

why on earth would anyone dislike this video ?

[bullmilk]

Why oh why didn't Lambo follow through with the Miura concept a few years back. It would have been a nice reprieve from Countach and Diablo. Instead, we get the Murcielago and Gallardo. Nothing new, just updates on an old form. Sad. :(

[LordOftheMind]

Cerrone album 'Supernatural' makes me want to ride this baby, im 23, born after this car, my fav soccer player George Best, i can only dream of that era...70s were amazing

[Specialized1993]

No offense but the svj's vents look like a hillbilly cut them out with a grinder. I would rather take just the sv

[spencnaz]

My favorite Lambo.

[4fingers100]

i heard nicolas cage sold his miura svj what demonic spirit blew into his mind when he thought of it./?

[xUNKNOWNxAC94]

best car ever when gas was 20 cents.

now worst car ever. :(

[tejumo7]

Named after the famous Spanish fighting bull, not the Italian blah-blah, whatever they said.

[MoziIIa4000]

Any Project Torque or Heat Online people here?

[VanillaSwisher]

Dear Santa...

[KevServo]

DO WANT.

[OTAlucard]

no wait it was a jota

[OTAlucard]

[DaBoogie049]

soo beautiful-and-wild, soo beautifu-ul ♫ ♪

[wahide4488]

美しい車ですよねぇ　最高です

[Ryanr75rc]

Cool

[Liboni85]

Miura is a piece of Italy.

[NathanPl]

those vents - they look like someone cut them with a saw ;D

[abot19]

i mean no offence or anything like that but i can't help noticeing how simular the rear on the miura and the original datsun Z look, aswell as other sections of both cars but the rears look the most simular. anyone else agree?

[veyronman]

@abot19 no

[jvarela965]

This car is stolen property. It was owned by the Shah of Iran and stolen by the mullahs who hocked it in Dubai in 1997 because they were broke.

[McLarenMercedes]

@jvarela965

True, but the Shah of Iran stole a lot from the Iranian people too, and he was hardly a juste man by any measure. Some would argue he was a benevolent dictator, and he DID imprison anybody that dared writing or saying anything bad about him. The guy was a puppet, who sowed the seeds of the Islamic revolution (which made Iran even worse), due to his harsh politics.

History is full of stolen property. The Shah shouldn't have been buried with this car if you imply that.

[jvarela965]

@McLarenMercedes The Shah I remember as child in the 70's was OPEC's biggest hawk, driving oil prices higher and higher, I cannot see why his enemies say he was a Western Puppet when he did so much to damage Western economies. In so far as human rights. Iran was then and perhaps to a degree now, a kinder and gentler place than Saddam's Iraq or even Saudi Arabia. I would not want to live under an absolute monarch but he did much to develop Iran. Unlike the current regime.

[McLarenMercedes]

@jvarela965

Originally he was a puppet of western regimes. He provided them with what they needed for which he got a nice deal, which mostly benefitted him. Later he realized that he was sitting on gold and the OPEC countries realized their oil became very valuable. So the Shah was disposed. How? Well, some claim the 1979 revolution was influenced by the west. Little did they realize that Khomeini would return and turn the clock back centuries for Iran. At first Khomeini was seen as a hero.

[McLarenMercedes]

@jvarela965

I agree about Iran being a gentler place than Saddam's Iraq or Saudi Arabia today, which is a country in which the law is derived from Sharia, on the same level as in Iran or even more.

The Shah did come to power by overthrowing the democratically elected president Mossadeq in the 50's. With a lot of western help.

Even though the Shah did a lot for Iran there's no smoke without fire and people getting sick of him had good basis.

The current regime is holding Iran back. Shame.

[jvarela965]

@McLarenMercedes But the Shah could never have held power so long after Mossadegh's fall had he had not the support of many Iranians. Strange the current clerical regime is repeating all this mistakes.

[McLarenMercedes]

@jvarela965

They are deeply religious (the current regime) and are very much stuck in the past. I am no expert on either Islam or Iran, but I do know that their law is derived form the Quran and it's seen as the "ultimate truth". Iran suffers from a lot of "brain-drain" too, since many scholars and highly educated iranians fled the country. Many of them are deeply disappointed what has happened to Iran.

Interestingly enough there's a lot of "grey-zones" in Iran. Iranian metal bands and such.

[jvarela965]

@McLarenMercedes I lived in West Los Angeles in the area they call TEHRANAGLES and met many Iranian people. Most fled when the Shah was deposed but many newcomers as well. Shocking what happened to Iran.

[McLarenMercedes]

@jvarela965

Iranians are the second largest foreign group here after the Finns, and I've met plenty of Iranians in medical school and in University campus. One Iranian told me:"Iran is the only country that was developed that devolved itself 200 years back and is still going backwards."

I've seen Iranian commercials from the 70's, pre-Islamic revolution, and it's hard to understand how such a western oriented country forbid all that for strict censorship and "pure muslim values".

[McLarenMercedes]

@jvarela965

Speaking of Lamborghini's, there's a story that Farah Diba, the wife of the Shah, was the first ever owner of a production Lamborghini Countach back in 1974. I forgot which color it was. I think the Shah liked Mercedes's and Lamborghini's. However other sources claim that the first Countach was delivered to an Australian businessman, and yet another source claims the first was delivered to some wealth Italian in Milan.

Just making sure the car enthusiasts don't complain.

[jvarela965]

@McLarenMercedes There is a 1974 LP400 Countach in the museum in Tehran, I find it hard to believe a woman of royal dignity like Farah Diba driving such a car. It must have belonged to the Shah or some other member of the royal family. This Countach was Serial Number 112.0190, redish color with tan leather.

[PitPuMa]

he's from 5th gear

[zeno144]

Nicholas cage.. Lol

[arneduym]

omg... i'm living in belgium... where even seeing a porsche is very rare... and i saw this driving in my street... oh god

[G1NZOU]

@arneduym Lucky, such a great car.

[arneduym]

@G1NZOU yeah... and the worst thing... i didn't even knew it was a lamborghini until i saw the pictures :(

this is my first lambo i see in my whole life tough :)

[floopx]

el diseño es horrible sinembargo un moustro de maquina

[Probzone]

Nic cage actually sold some of his cars. I wonder if he sold this babe too.

[xpowdrman]

I was working on "Face/Off" when this car was delivered to Nick Cage on the Paramount lot. We knew each other from another show we'd been on and so he was telling me about the Miura and it's provenance. He started it up but was called to the set before he could even get it into gear. The sound of the engine was deep and awesome, but I seem to remember the color being a more gaudy shade of purple.

[vfIskullangel]

I wonder how this bad boy does against the 60's and 70's muscle cars!.

[G1NZOU]

@vfIskullangel Quite well I bet, nice and light with the weight of the engine behind the driver.

[conutach]

it was 1971 u faggot

[heterosapien69]

i think tiff is gay

[bdabeast05]

this is the best lambo ever...way better than the current ones

[LuNaTeCh66]

@bdabeast05 Actualy that is false. The newer ones are far faster, have better engines and night-day traction. The Miura is an amazing looking car but I love the stealth fighter style modern lambo.

[lukeshytalker02]

@LuNaTeCh66 faster isnt necessarily 'better' , nor is more grip, you could have more fun at lower speeds in this, and looks wise it walks all over new lambos

[deanP382]

grinding gears at 2:31

[pinkfloydafobe]

Iv drove 1 iv drove1 hahhahahhahah and u havnt biatch

[simonbayes1]

I own one asehole hahaha fucker cock

[kaxiflanxy]

@simonbayes1 im sure you don't.

[pr4n4206]

my favorite lambo ever... thanks to marcello gandini who designed this car...

[samr500]

ive been in one of these, they are incredible

[SUPAPwN0o0]

i love how it's so thin

[samr500]

ive been lucky enough to have a spin in one of these lovely cars. they really are a brilliant looking car and have some good speed to them.

[warlockfrost]

this man is a cunt

[newjagred]

Tiff Needell ????

[DoodleDandy921]

yeah, he was on top gear before fifth gear :)

[deanP382]

nick cage is the man

[miurafan]

BEST CAR...EVER!!!

[Pnoerre]

@miurafan

nono the very nice Peugeot 604 Gti is nicer it has timeless elegance and the better engine!

[trespwn1]

@miurafan

though in my opinion, the murcielago LP-640-4 SV is tied....

[candikrow]

nicholas cage, i've watched alot of your movies and i guess you know what your doing when it comes to acting, but i love your taste in cars man, your awsome

[jmbp1978]

It's not "named after the italian for bull". "Miura" is the name of a breed of spanish bulls that were famous for their "casta" (a quality for bullfighting bulls, a mix of fierceness and gentility). A beautiful car anyway.

[Ponch851]

grat video thank!

SVJ was a replica of Miura "Jota", but the Jota was more close to a race car ad it had more than 400cv and unfortunately it was destroy in an accident

[th3b0untyhunter]

dont be an idiot - this is a genuine SVJ.

1of approx 5 made by the factory.

google miura 4934 if you dont belive me

[flaminco666]

srry i tought it miura 1

go check it on u tube

[newjagred]

they did!!!

5 in 71-

1 in 75

and thte last one in 87

all build by the factory

[zVlPERz]

they mad over 700 in total... fail

[McLarenMercedes]

not 700 SVJotas

only 5 original ones

[JuergenGDB]

@th3b0untyhunter True very true.. only 5 were ever made with a 6th one being built from an already Miura S for the owner of Lamborghini. The ones converted were never done by the factory....as there are only 6 Factory Miura SVJ's ever produced.. the rest are imitations....true Miura's but not factory spec SVJ's To "Flaminco666 do some research before you post bro... there are a total of 6 Factory SVJ's.... unfortunately Nicholas and his money issues.. he had to sell his in 2008 I think.

[willierliz]

theirs only 5 svj's but there just dressed up replicas of the real one that wasn't just a normal miura. it was a heavily modified race car modified. but Lamborghini sold it and someone crashed and burned that car witch is so very sad because that car is such an important car in Lamborghini's history.

[Stevieraylittlewing]

I think you'll find that this is that car - Nicolas Cage paid a world record price for it at auction - and as I recall it only had 2000 miles on it at the time - clearly it has more on it now because he shares his good fortune with us - good on you Nic!

[McLarenMercedes]

nicholas cage has since sold his car, don't know who owns it now

[TapMuski]

..I've heard a tychoon from London owns it now, and there's only 18 cars left around the world right now and many of them were owns by japanese

[headly66]

@flaminco666 You obviously don't know anything about Lambos.

[headly66]

@flaminco666 King of Iran? Never been a King of Iran dummy.

[indigoblue555]

Magnificent in burgundy metallic. -
