Automotive engineer and mechanic Bob Wallace was Lamborghini’s factory test driver during the reign of the beautiful Miura. Story has it that Bob pleaded Lamborghini to build a race going version of the Miura, a request that was turned down by the Italian manufacturer who was against any form of motorsport at the time.
With the company unwilling, Bob Wallace went on to build it anyway in his spare time. Born was the Miura Jota SVR. The race ready car had a weight of only 800 kilograms and a version of the Miura V12 pumping out 60 hp more than any other at 440 hp.
