Lamborghini Miura

Lamborghini Miura P400 Bertone Prototype CN.0706 1967This car is for RVR's 1st Annual 525PP European Car Shootout!!! and is met to meet it's restrictions of 525pp for Laguna Seca with sports soft tires. 

Decent power and very light weight. There is a few points you must do when driving however. Forget how you normally drive, this is how you drive this car. Drive to a corner and brake than coast a little to maintain driving line than ease onto the power and away. You know you have done this right because you will be on the track, the revs are going climbing up as it accelerates away instead of high reving, and there is no over or under steer problems. It is tricky at first to get the hang of it since if you drive hard it will skid and under steer than over steer and is just crazy, but as long as you drive like I said there should be no problems. I think this will be a lot easier if you have a wheel and/or drive manual as you can shift up while exiting and be harder on the gas. I did a 1:30.4 and am just too tired of testing anymore. I think it may be able to achieve very good times with better drivers as I am not very good at this track. Would like to see what other tuners can come up with as well since this car as a lot of different styles of tuning and parts as I found out while testing.

I drove this car recently for one of the seasonals and it works awesome at other courses. I loved every second driving it as it was really easy and fun. I think just for Laguna Seca it can get kind of tricky as the course itself is quite difficult to master.
