60s Contest: 1966 Lamborghini Miura

[janusz_the_maker]

Hi, here comes my started model of Lambo, I know there is a lot of bumps in bottom of bumper but I still working on it. I'm expecting 250k-300k polies (mid-poly).

And I want to ask some questions:

1) Why some Miuras on ref pics doesn't have side mirrors.

2) What is the different between late (Miura SV - 1972) and early (Miura - 1966) versions of it, 'cos I see some Lambos with (I don't know what exactly is it) "grills?" around headlights.

nice, watch the bottom of the bumper though, you got bumps there,
for your q's
1) maybe the owners thought they were badass, and didn't want to see the cops in their mirrors whilst flying down roads at 130mph, I have no idea on that one.

2) i know that the SV was like a special version of the miura, from what I know, better performer, so there may have been subtle exterior design schanges as well

hmmm dont know if you know this site but its good for refs. Lamborghini by kldconcept - Fichiers multimedias - Garage Virtuel - Lambo for Ever

dont know what language it is, but its easy to work out, just click the car of your choice at the side

Thanks for comments. That round places (like bottom of bumper) is really hell of bumps. That is disaster...

Nice one

About ref pics, I have it a lot in hi-res.

SV stands for Super Volante (extra fast) or something. That one didn't have the grilles as far as I know.

Good luck, looks good already

Super Veloce, NightEye. IMHO of course

Nice work so far, janusz. I'm looking forward to see how it will turn out.

Thanks for help. I read from Wikipedia, there is actually 3 main models, P400, P400S and P400SV. NightEye has right:

The SV can be distinguished from its predecessors from its lack of "eyelashes" around the headlights, wider rear fenders to accommodate the new 9-inch wide rear wheels...

so I have to make those grills 'cos SV were from 1971.

Here is link for P400 image.

BTW Tom has right about name (Veloce - in Italian mean fast, Volante - steering wheel )

looks nice but i have some ideas to improve the mesh.

Perhaps the SV had a really super big steering wheel.....

Looking good Bit sharp on the side intake though.

@ibeam: very very thanks for that I have always problems with triages in wire, thanks a lot.
@NightEye: Haha you're right
