The Lamborghini Miura is proof that your boss needs to back off | Jason Cammisa Revelations | Ep. 19

- The Miura is the ultimate Delegation Special - it exists only because Ferruccio Lamborghini backed off and allowed his team of young, talented engineers and designers to do what they do best.
A finicky mid-engined supercar is the opposite of the Rolls-Royce-like GTs that Ferruccio wanted to build, yet it's the Miura that singlehandedly elevated Lamborghini to the likes of Ferrari.
The four men chiefly behind the car were all in their twenties when the Miura debuted:
Giampaolo Dallara, 29, senior engineer
Paolo Stanzani, 29, assistant engineer
Bob Wallace, 27, chief development engineer
Marcello Gandini, 27, designer
The Miura used the 4-liter Bizzarrini V-12 designed for the 350GT and 400GT, rotated by 90º and mounted transversely in a casting that included the transmission and differential. Power claims were all over the map, but Road & Track's test car banged off a 0-60 in 5.5 seconds, through the quarter-mile in 13.9 sec @ 107.5 mph, and achieved a top speed of 168 mph, making it the fastest car in the world, at the time.
Performance numbers are only a small part of the Miura story. Learn the full backstory here - and see why delegation is so important. To quote Marcello Gandini: "To make exceptional things, you must have complete freedom.”
The proof is in the Miura.

Hes truly an american😂
"Get in, losers, we're going to design the prettiest car ever." - Gandini
This comment is soooo FETCH!
@@TDogCA 🤣
I didn’t know he designed the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale
@@EliaFlowers i think one of them helped
Jaguar “E” type, “Am I a joke to you?”
The Miura is an example of the stylist putting his pencil down at precisely the right moment, and never touching it again.
*Perfezione.*
Knowing when to stop is a very important skill to have
@@iambism agreed
@iambism: looking back through my many years of trial, error, failures, and successes, if found that my best work is realized after consciously reminding myself, “don’t overcook it.”
Realize, though, it’s one thing to remind yourself to not “overcook” the project at hand - however, the most important, unspoken, and ultimately most essential portion of the equation is _you _*_must_*_ listen to yourself when you say “stop” in order for it to work._
If you can’t listen to your own instinctual advice, be prepared to scrape your project into the compost pile of overcooked ideas and once again start over from scratch…
Your mention of the difference in management style between Ferrari & Lamborghini reminds me of how intense it was.
I was traveling the circuits with Paul Hawkins and Frank Gardener in either 1965 or 1966??. - memory is not what it used to be.
Frank had crashed at Pau so we returned to Modena for repairs where we were kindly allowed to use the workshops of Scuderia Serenissima. Whilst there we were offered the use of the very first Miura but the proviso was that we took accommodation very near Ferrari’s factory entrance and we were to leave at the same time as Ferrari’s work force arrived to clock on and return when they clocked off AND we were to drive like lunatics - as much wheel-spin as possible!!! No problem...
Apparently Enzo was always having major bust ups with his staff and Lamborghini wanted experienced personnel, particularly disgruntled ones! I remember the start of the Lambo production line starting in the largest factory I had ever seen.
Thanks for sharing this incredible story! What a fantastically underappreciated comment.
I figured my dream of having a Miura is a bit too far-fetched, so now I will dream of having a friend with a Miura. Good to see Hyphen's Lambo being put through it's paces!
😂You are a champion!
Just own a replica.
Most of those flying circus cars are better owned by a friend, even if you can afford them.
@@PenkillerDIY I'm pretty sure having a Miura SV parked in your living room and ONLY driving it a few times a year is worth whatever comes with ownership.
@@Panthercholo gonna spend a lot of money burning through fire extinguishers tho
Jason Cammisa is amazing. I've been a fan since his Head 2 Head days. Hagerty, be like Lamborghini and let him do what he does!
He doesn’t reply to Instagram messages though
Same! I adore this man’s passion for all things automotive.
@@agreatd he replied me once on TH-cam tho
God I wish I could watch one video with Jason in it and not have to read someone wanking themself off over Jason.
@@agreatd why is that important tho? His account his rules
I had only seen one Miura in real life many years ago. It was yellow and the most striking car I had ever seen. What an amazing car and effort by the designers. Pure Art. Thanks for the video and history.
I remember the first time watching the Italian job, I fell in love with it.
@Hector Matt Munro.
My boss arrived at work in a brand-new Lamborghini. "Wow!" I said. "That's an amazing car." He replied, "If you work hard, put all your hours in, and strive for excellence, I'll get another one next year!"
Hey at least he's honest.
As I sit here having watched this after a grueling morning of phone calls and emails, I am more sad about this comment. It is exactly what is wrong with my life path, lol. My life is like Initech, my boss is Lumberg, and I have people skills. If only I focused more, ha ha
Copypasta comment
@@DogZy9 who cares?
That joke is probably as old as the Miura itself.
9:02 normally I'm a giant fan of the smoke, but this time.. it just kind of felt alarming
In context, yeah, it's a little worrisome. 😂
Jason Cammisa revolutionized the car review show game. He and his team showed others how it’s done.
I found Cammisa annoying when he was in Motor Trend because his vibe was always slightly off to his cohost or he was trying to do too much. But here at Hagerty, he’s given all the space he needs to explore his talents and production quality is amazing and he has now delivered. It’s all adding up now for me. GL dude.
Used to work for a gestation in Redondo Beach, Ca. back in 1972. One afternoon a Miura pulled in for gas. That was the very first and only time that I had the pleasure of seeing a Miura; they pulled out and accelerated, it was a sound like no other I've ever heard.
... Some day, perhaps!
I always assume Jason is about to give us a history lesson on why these old cars are great, but really this is about why it takes failure and perseverance to truly achieve something memorable. And btw, why do these 20 somethings look like middle age men? Must be the black and white photos....or the two pack-a-day cigarette habit of Italians 😄
A two pack Italian back then was one who was quitting.
It’s because they dressed like adults.
@@dougrobinson8602 😂 that’s perfect
@@Stoy981 I agree. Instead of middle aged men dressed like twenty somethings...
It's also because they dressed and wore their hair like people of their generation; styles which us younger folk have only seen on older people.
I saw “Ja” in the title and now I’m here, it’s lit.
Jason “DADDY” Camissa
Oh.. I saw Adam Sandler
Same😭
Ah yes, America's Jeremy Clarkson filling the Top Gear/Grand Tour hole in my heart.
+1
Every time my dad took me out in his Miura he made me sit with a fire extinguisher in my lap.
Did he take you out or was he taking the fire extinguisher and it's nanny?
Favorite comment
😝
😂
This is my favorite automotive channel. Like the miura's design, each episode is close to perfect. The content is incredibly interesting, the audio is fitting with nuggets of excitement. The writing is engaging, entertaining, and intelligent. And, Jason's presentation and performance magically pulls it all together. I know I am a little smarter after watching an episode. I can mangia! mangia! Episodes all day!
Hagerty gave Jason the complete freedom and now we have Revelations. Thank you for another great film!
🍷👍
Agreed!
I already know the Miura story. A lot of shows and articles have done it. So what I really came here for is Jason's delivery. So simple, so relateable. Hagerty, please make more of this series!
Haggarty, please someone besides Camissa. How about someone who’s funny?
Really?? I can't stand him. Waving his arms too much, trying too hard to be funny. Stiff, fake personality. I hate his style.
@@mosesberkowitz3298in my opinion, Top Gear and Grand Tour are the only car shows where i look for humor/entertainment first before the informational bit because they were keen on being about entertaining before anything else. Humor is extra here. So i personally don't expect Jason to be Clarkson. What's important is his diction, his pacing, and his clarity.
@@bikes7777 I tend to not bother because 1) when i present something i really know and really like, i get high and energetic. The body naturally follows the speech and waving/flailing your arms are the means where you release that energy. And 2) There's no point in having you see the presenter if all he does is be still. 3) When you present at this level, you need a bit of theater. I understand the fake personality angle. No one speaks like that daily, but if you have to capture an audience's attention, you need to be polished, concise, and firm. If you like a more natural conversation style, Engineering Explained's Jason Fenske could be more of your thing.
@Envy Smith I like Jason, as well as Saab Kyle. But not Demuro. He is too theatrical also.
I got cold chills at the sound of the test drive. My gosh, what an absolute symphony of mechanical music. Magnificent storytelling, as always, Mr Cammisa!
Really appreciate the sound track at the end. No talking, no music, just the noise of the car itself.
As a 19 year old automotive engineering student, this is an inspiring story, that motivates me to become greater and better at my craft.
That is what cars like that can do.
yeeeah buddy
The Lambo that ignored steering inputs above 120 mph?
That's your inspiration?
The car looks good on a poster but was just as likely to be seen in the ditch on the side of the road or wrapped around a pole.
An exotic sports car should work when driven fast.
This car misses the mark.
@@truthsRsung You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.
Also it's not the car itself but what it represents.
@@thordenthor88 ...Noone will buy a car with a name on it that is misspelled.
This isn't breakfast we are talking about. It is people's lives.
I might, might, trust you to design the glove box door.
You'd "represent" the (sanitary) napkins and their safety.
@@truthsRsung Then I will design a glove box door that's hydraulically actuated, without a pressure stop, made from thin carbon fibre.
Still one of the most stunning automobiles ever produced. I had a friend in my neighborhood during the 70s who's father owned a red Miura. I would stand in his garage next to the Miura just in awe. I have been obsessed with cars ever since.
Did you ever TOUCH it?
@@billolsen4360 Yes! He did. And that's when he got his first orgasm.
Just like the story of 4 kids making an amazing vehicle, we got a small few guys making an awesome series that feels more professional and better than what you find on TV or streaming...amazing job, fellas!
Thanks for a really great, well told story, Jason. This has been my very favorite car since it first came out. I temember reading the article in road and track in 1966 or 1967 and I still remember that picture of the engine and chassis only. In the summer of 1968 I traveled across New York City solo for the first time to see this car at the New York auto show. It was as beautiful as the model standing next to it. The summer of 1969 I was working corners at the racetrack in Salt Lake City Utah. I saw a Miura was the course marshal’s ride going around the track between races. I dropped everything I went down to beg the owner to take the around the track. Finally after the next to last race, he acquiesced, and I went around the track twice in this stunning lime green Miura. Probably the best car related memory of my entire life.
as a 17 year old about to embark on his journey through automotive engineering, this is quite a cool story, the young guns creating a car for the generations...
I love that the muira was made by literally just a few guys just hanging around after hours goofing off
Even I am 17 and I am looking forward to studying automotive engineering and maybe work on a cool car like this someday
Good luck for your journey.
@@farishanafiah8461 thank you!
When I was your age I had the same goal of studying that. I ended up doing something completly different. Dont get distracted !
Jason is killing it in this series, seriously, some of the best car content on TH-cam 👍👊
And who had their first exposure to Lamborghini from Herbie the Love Bug as a kid and not a poster of a Countach? 😆
WTF???
The man earns his money. His research is thorough. Equeles a great production.
until it moves to motortrend or something like that... I miss roadkill!
The Miura was my dream car until the Countach came out; that looked for all the world, like a space ship. When I learned what they were like to own (I worked with doctors that owned those cars), I changed my mind, and wanted the 928 that had just rolled out. I eventually got my 928; 30 years after they first sold in 1978.
So the cost of a countach had nothing to do with that? Lol. 928's are just barely coming above the $5k mark.
You have an anime profile picture. Either you are fabricating your story, or you are a deviant. Either way, you are an odd fellow.
Interesting profile picture for someone who was alive in that era
@@mediocreman2 No, I'm 6'4" tall, and can't even stuff myself in a Countach reasonably! You haven't priced 928s in good condition, apparently. Sure, you can get a worn out one for $5K; but the later models in good condition are going for 100K or more, and the one I sold was re-sold for $32K last year (that was a 1986).
@@silure9502 You must be one of those people who think that there aren't any old people who embrace new things, and that we should just sit in a rocking chair and reminisce about the good old days. I feel sorry for you when YOU get old, as you will probably feel like you should be one of those relics. Not for me, thanks.
I've loved Jason Cammisa's work since his Motor Trend days, and i still love it. He has such a unique style.
If you want to add to the sadness, one of the first Japanese importers of these started his dealership at 23.
And then at 46 thought of making a Lotus Elise... well the Elise was still 2 years from even being a thought then, in 1991
there are dreamcars and than there's the miura , is it a lambo ?yes ?don't have nothing against it , but they could improve their cars after this one but i also like that 2+2 with economic engine and other that till today i cant remenber the name ,miura comes above when thinking about lamborguini's , i saw what was supossed to be a beautifull girl but started to cut pieces of her face very young and appeared in a show of retarted people in spain a t.v show from mistreded t.v. with other youngsters and being dumb and anoretic they ask the girl if she was really the daughter of lamborguini owner or president , alias she was called lamborguini and to be shure asked her wich car she prefered from lambo. and she felt pressured and replied "i don't know" the other or better an anoretic girl asked wich do you prefer , she replief "it depends , one day i wear red , i prefer the red , other i dress yellow i prefer the yellow , when i dress in black i prefer the black , it depends of the colour of the dress i wear that day " the other just shut up , i would like to choose my car for the day by the colour of my shirt , normally black or white sometime denim blue , that 's how one should choose wich car to drive after dressing each morning , i wouldn't mind having 5 miuras one from each colour .This is me she might have all new models in diferent colours, this in what was suposed to be music television or M.T.V
@@RUfromthe40s love the story. tell us more will ya
@@wesleyrice2138 will i , din't thought it would take much of your time, but it is more sadness than love , like i heard them sayin' young men are lost, but i didn't cut bits of my body when a teenager , a pair of jeans and some sunglasses were enough to be rebel without a cause . like they used to say , ...mainly, its a love affair....jesus built my hotroads or roods , really don't know.Regards and a happy, free of covid , new year
Thats how they fixed the high-G turn oil stavation issue...Dry Sump Oil System
I figured that was Derek’s Miura! Looks like he was driving as well. Cool to see you guys still working together!
It was definitely Jason at the end. It's his watch.
Definitely Jason's hands on the wheel.
Definitely Jason's hands mimicking Italian hand-gestures...
The curdmudgeon show
I was about to say those roads look mighty familiar and he is the only person I know that has a Miura around here.
One of my all-time favourite automotive series on the TH-cams. Looking forward to many more episodes.
It's one of the most beautiful cars ever made, but the Miura is also highly susceptible to catching on fire.
The video is so properly made, I even forgot the video is about to end. I was waiting for more.
I had the pleasure of driving one of these beauties, a 68 S. She was smooth and quick, and I loved the metal shift gate. It gave quite a satisfying clunk every time you changed gears.
not true
@@avineumann3476 why
You lucky bastard 😉
WTF???
What are you comparing it to, an MG?
I’m a product engineer, I design metal parts, fixtures, tooling, and work heavily with the machinists and prototype engineers.. I’m 27… I don’t know Jack apparently!! Because I know enough to know… building a super car from scratch, designed by hand is damn near impossible to me these days. Hats off to these lads. My jaw is dropped.
The video from the driver's perspective at the end is as good as any 70's car chase movies. More please.
Apex mountain automotive journalism. The POV camera quality at the end of this episode is much better than normal. Great stuff.
Seriously! I want to know how they do it! Doubt it’s a GoPro.
These are some of the best car story videos ever!! Jason is a charmer and totally charismatic. Mr Hagerty, whatever your paying him, he’s worth every penny
One of my favourite videos of all time. Being Italian myself and of a certain age it makes me think what a bunch of young and dedicated people could do to change history. Thank you!
These videos just keep getting better and better. This one was superb!
These deep dives into history I had no idea about feel so special, spreading knowledge about car history like this is such a service. So many stories I would've never known otherwise in Revelations. I can't believe this content is free. Great stuff Jason!!
Incredible film, incredible car. Grazzie, Jason and crew!
👉¡GraZie! 👌😉
One of the finest narrations to a documentary about one of the worlds most beautiful cars. Bravo Jason!
I would give anything to spend the day with a Miura. It is a gorgeous work of art, and nothing else even comes close.
I am still blown away this thing came out in 1966. When I first saw one and learned what it was I assumed it was from the early 70s. It just had that shape and style, like a contemporary of the Ferrari Daytona. So ahead of its time!
Thanks a lot Jason and team for this... Easily the best content on TH-cam and thank you even more for the inspiring words at the end... I'm still 22, so maybe I still have a shot at creating something as good...
You always have a shot at creating something as good or better, you just might not break the mold with your age. And that's fine!
I went into GM Engineering at age 18 in August 1966... and stumbled across a little car in the factory like I had never seen before... the 1967 Camaro... just sitting there by itself in a little open area... gold, 327" 2 bbl. carb. engine, 210 HP, 3 on the floor manual tranny, bucket front seats...
@@BuzzLOLOL WHOAAAAAA... that so sick... Would have been so cool to see the industry grow from that time.
These episodes highlight great cars with even better story telling! Well done!
Appreciate all the time and research you put into these videos Jason, it shows.
I used to race this car online on Forza Motorsport 4 (A Class) and hearing the exhaust at the end of this video is straight up nostalgic.
Damn man, how are you not verified? Love your videos, planning on building a 4.6 myself.
Love the special thanks to DT hyphen S. NEED MORE CARMUDGEON.
Hey Jason!
Great show as always. Even if I know almost all the stories you tell, I always enjoy to hear them in the way You deliver them. The effort You and Your team put into these episodes well deserves the compliments You get and we can't be thankful enough for the presented content we get. And it is for FREE!
You might have give a shot in this series of the 2 products which fulfilled Ferruccio's dream, the Espada and the Jarama next time.
Jason is hands down the best story teller in the automotive journalism scene! Love the stuff, keep on putting this stuff out!!!
Please keep them coming Jason and crew! Totally love it! Thanks from the Azores, Portugal!
Oh my god this may be my favorite episode so far! I learned so much about early Lamborghini that I never knew! Thank you Mr. Cammisa!
Love the revelations show! keep them coming!
Jason and the production team, killing it. Again. Thanks to the talent of this team and to Hagerty for giving them the freedom/ability to generate this work. It's the most enjoyable, thoughtful, humorous, and well researched automotive video content available anywhere, today. Full stop. I love TG, Harry Metcalfe, the Throttle House guys (Canadian TG basically), Sam Fane (STG), and a few others but... This is top shelf. Jason, you continually show us what an experienced auto journalist who is exceptional at presentation, can really do. Kudos.
Jason big up mate. So glad you’re around. Amazing content
I am always fascinated watching Jason's videos. It's truly enlightening and highly entertaining. I wish he was one of my teachers growing up in school. I'd know everything! Thanks Jason for once again out-doing yourself and putting together the best automotive content out there.
Something tells me Jason has creative freedom with this series.
I have had a love for these since I got a small die-cast model as a young lad.
Mid 70's my neighbor in Berkeley Ca. had a Lamborghini Miura . It was crazy loud. Could hear it a mile away. Same color shown
I know these videos take a ton of time and energy, so can we somehow clone Jason and the team? Need so much more of this kind of content.
This thing looks so stable going through the corners
But wait, isn't the engine going to get oil starved? What kind of corner does it take to make it explode, now I wonder.
@@cathrynm a banked corner, or driving in a circle for too long.
@@dragospahontu Oh, I see that, Will remember this in case I get a chance (Though I think a little out of my price range.) Interesting, that it's a banked turn that's the problem. Hmm, now I have to think, which way do the G-forces go on a banked turn, down, I guess?.
I saw this car more than a decade ago and had never seen a car with such a low profile. Just amazing.
Jason, love your videos and all the histories behind each cars. Also important to keep it around 14 mins.
The Italian Job opening with the Miura is a lot more evocative of the 60s than the Cannonball Run opening with the Countach for the 80s. Change my mind.
What a machine.
I great difficulties watching the opening scene of Italian Job.............
@@rudolfabelin383 Don't worry, the original car survived. The crashed one was a rolling shell of an already crashed car.
holup, did they just use Forza Horizon 3 footage to illustrate a muira airborne, GENIUS !
What a great story, lesson, images and sound. Thanks!
This is just a great series. Thanks Hagerty and please keep them coming!
I can’t put more than one like, this video should have more than 1million, how awesome is the Miura
Jason Cammisa is my favourite host love it man's legit funny
Already knew most of this, and nearly didn't bother to watch, but glad I did. Subscribed 👍
i have just been binging on the icons and now revelations. Cammisa's stuff is the only youtube I watch at normal speed and not just the car sounds parts. it's also the only content i don't multitask during. I've been getting nothing done at work...
Jason is what Chris Harris used to be some 8-10 years ago, before he switched to TG. Truly amazing how they both can do a storytelling just right! It takes a special skill and talent to tell a story and immerse you about something you will never own or lay your hands on.
Chris is great. He's what we need to have an automotive video reporter. NOT the poor choices in the new Grand Tour or the poor choices of the American version of Grand Tour.
@@zavatone New Grand Tour? American Grand Tour? You mean Top Gear?
Hagerty has some amazing production
Absolutely amazing video. Great job to the whole team. 👍
Thanks to the TH-cam algorithm gods I landed on this video. The engine roar at the end of the video gave me goosebumps. I am now hooked to your channel and would be scouring through your content to look for more such gems. Thanks again.
Can we see a video on the Lotus Esprit please? Another beautiful car with a long production run and plenty of variants. As an added bonus, it was one of the last cars available with pop-up headlights.
The second best thing to having the real car, is to own a 1:18 scale model of one! Great video ❤🚗
Or a 1:1 Corvette C3 from 69 :- )
The greatest channel highlighting the greatest car, presented by the greatest host. Yet, somehow, I know the next vid will be even better...never stop what you are doing.
DUDE.. Love your channel! Great work my friend! keep it up.
buon viaggio!
The best looking late 60s era cars of all time.. please don't tell my 68 Dodge Darts..
My favorite looking car of all time.
Probably a toss up between the Jaguar E-Type and Miura. But the Miura wins on drama.
@@dougrobinson8602 My opinion as well; I waver back and forth between those two.
You are the BEST at narrating. I could listen to you all day!! You have style!
Probably the greatest story on Lamborghini's (Ferucio's and company's) and Miura's history. Great, as always.
Do one on Pete brock! Designed the c2 vette at 19 years old!
R.I.P. Marcello Gandini.
Lime green one in 67/68 in and around Marble Arch London when I worked at ATV House in Great Cumberland Place, I was 16yo, loved them ever since...
That must have been exciting. I lived in London from 1970 and remember the Countach on the streets around that time.
Ok. That was the best video that Hagerty has done in this series. I really was fascinated by the tie in to the designers and engineers. Bravo.
I fell in love with this car when it first came out in Road & Track. I knew about Lambo from the 350gt. This is my fav looking car for all time. So clean and sleek and understated compared to today hypercars.
Brought here by Doug DeMuro
That V12 noise near the end.....😥 I'll likely never experience what that got did. Well worth waiting around for. Excellent video 5⭐
Eric I always say time and place are responsible for so much of our life’s experience. You must be a bit older than I but we have some parallel experiences. My Brothers and I “borrowed” ours Uncles MG TC in 1966 and drove it from North Hollywood all the way to Laguna Beach. We were filling the tank at PCH and Laguna Canyon when a police car pulled in and the officer got out and approached us. We held our breath as he admired the car. My older Brother was at the wheel and he looked older than his age 17 at the time.
Beverly Hills had the dealership that sold all the Italian exotica and we would go there as often as possible and annoy the sales staff especially when they got their first Miuras in and had one sitting next to a GT. The Miura was in that lime green colour that was unique at the time. In 1973 15:00 when I returned from having lived in London I ordered a lime green X19 from that same dealership.I always referred to it as my poor mans Lamborghini.
I bet you remember the British specialty mechanics on Coast Village Road. My friend had Mimi Cooper S and we would go there for special add ons. Memories can be great my friend. Thanks for sharing yours.
Beautiful. Too bad it was a death sled... The only car in the world that ALWAYS had to have a full tank. At half tank the front wheels lost grip and it just went straight out. A slightly uncomfortable experience passed 100 mph...
Hahahaha. It wasn't a "death sled" unless you were an absolute idiot. It's a supercar from the 60's and 70's and you are comparing it to supercars today. People back then knew the limitations and heard the stories. And many took risks but that's on them.
I bet my balls you've never driven one...
@@gurabirierosanopara620You will never know, will you? 😂
@@nikolaslarson6891 I feel enormous confidence from you. I am convicted you owned at least 5 of those cars. Thanks!
Lamborghini Hyphen Miura
The styling of the Miura is timeless. It was the first Tyco Pro HO racer I bought years ago. Recently I added a die-cast Miura model to my collection. Awesome.
This video is just pure gold.
Great presentation and narration, Jason!
Host, subject, research, production - amazing.
I am 25 years old and I am the head of engineering of a renowned high-end aftermarket tuner. My team is young and very talented, I am lucky to have them. But man this video, says all the right things. I can't agree more with Gandini.
Also, I knew about Gandini being young I had no clue EVERYONE was young. I actually met Gian Paolo a couple years ago during my time at Indy, had no clue he worked in the project, to be honest, back then I had barely any clue who he was beyond being the founder of Dallara.
Fantastic Video.
Now that's what I'm talking about, this is the best video I've seen in a long time, many thanks
