Apparently the Lambo Miura was designed to look like a profile of an aircraft wing!

This made it look great and very aerodynamic....however when you get over 70mph it starts to take off!!

was it not ment to look lyk a bull with the doors opens like the horns ???? pretty sure that true lol

It also was never intended to be put into production, was just a group of engineers working after hours for fun.

Enzo and Dino are two cars Named after people but Mercedes itself is named after the original designers daughter.

Less of a designer, more of a project manager.

all pergoets have a 0 in the middle
all porsches have a 9 at the start
all mercedes end in -Class
all ferrari model numbers begin with F eg F430
all ginetta model numbers begin with G eg G50

all audis begin with an A followed by a number, unless it is a sport version then it is either RS (number of the same model) or S number of model the S, or if its one of the high rise 4x4 models then it is a Q followed by a number, the Q stands for quattro.


All car brands are given a certain way of naming there cars, and the pattern will eventually become obvious, some allot more than others. the reason they do it is so that if you jsut say the model rather than the make, people wont get confused.

Whatever it is, if thats the same 2.0TD that the MG ZT has its C**P!

Had one for a few weeks while my new company car turned up - worst car I have EVER driven.

My random fact I know....

The first car to feature anti-lock brakes was the 1966 Jensen FF
