Savage.

The 1971 Lamborghini Miura SV is what happens when Italy stops designing a car and starts committing a crime against restraint.

Finished in yellow, it doesn’t arrive quietly. It detonates. Low, wide, impossibly beautiful, and powered by a transverse V12 placed where sensible people would expect luggage, the Miura was the car that taught the world what a supercar could be.

The SV, short for Spinto Veloce, was the final and most developed evolution of the Miura. Introduced in 1971, it brought wider rear arches, broader tyres, revised suspension, cleaner headlight treatment, and a more powerful 4.0 litre V12 producing around 385 hp. In simple terms, Lamborghini took one of the most beautiful machines ever made and made it angrier, faster, and better planted.

Only 150 Miura SVs were delivered between 1971 and 1973, making it the rarest regular production Miura and the definitive version of the breed.

This is not a car.
It is a yellow V12 sculpture with a temper.

Qualifying.

Monaco does not forgive. It measures the car, the driver, the preparation, and occasionally the size of your bravery.

Today, the 1974 Shadow DN3 Formula 1, driven by Jean Denis Delétraz, delivered exactly what we came to see. A proper historic Grand Prix machine, authentic in spirit, beautifully prepared by .automobiles, and pushed through the streets of Monaco to a superb 7th place in qualifying.

No tricks. No modern shortcuts. Just noise, commitment, mechanical honesty, and a car from an era when Formula 1 still looked like a fistfight in a bathtub.

A sadder note for our second car, the 1975 Tyrrell 007, which suffered a broken front right suspension wishbone. That is racing. Especially in Monaco, where the barriers are close, the margins are microscopic, and the machinery always has the final word.

Race today at 12:25, live on the YouTube channel.

Thanks to for the shots !⚡️

Practice.

Two DFV powered Formula 1 cars. One closed Monaco circuit. One very serious reminder that history is not supposed to sit still.

Today’s practice day at the Grand Prix Historique de Monaco brought the Drive Vintage Shadow DN3 F1 from 1974 and the Tyrrell 007 F1 from 1975 back into the environment they were born for: narrow streets, stone walls, elevation changes, and absolutely no room for approximation.

A huge thank you to Jean Denis Delétraz for taking the wheel of the Shadow DN3, and to for bringing the Tyrrell 007 to life with the precision and respect these cars deserve.

Our thanks also go to the Automobile Club de Monaco for an incredible organisation and for keeping this unique piece of motorsport heritage alive in the most spectacular setting imaginable.

Monaco does not forgive.
These cars do not pretend.
And days like this are exactly why Drive Vintage exists.

The end of a glorious bloodline.

The Ferrari 458 Speciale was never just a harder, lighter, more focused 458. It was the final chapter of one of Ferrari’s greatest stories: the mid engined naturally aspirated V8. Ferrari itself presents the Speciale as the ultimate evolution of that formula, just before the 488 GTB opened the turbocharged era.

Under the rear deck sits a 4.5 litre naturally aspirated V8 producing 605 cv at 9000 rpm, a figure that already sounds absurd until you remember what makes this car special is not only the power, but the way it delivers it. No turbo torque blanket. No artificial shove. Just a ferocious climb to the red line and one of the sharpest throttle responses ever fitted to a road car.

Then there is the engineering. Active aerodynamics. Side Slip Angle Control. Less weight. Faster reactions. More bite at the front. More discipline at the rear. Ferrari built it to be more extreme, more precise, and more alive than the already brilliant 458 Italia. Back in period, Ferrari even described it as its most aerodynamic road car.

Fun fact number one: the 458 Speciale is one of those rare Ferraris whose reputation has only grown with time, because the world it came from no longer exists.
Fun fact number two: its successor, the 488 GTB, was faster in many situations, but the Speciale kept something more valuable, the spine tingling insanity of a naturally aspirated Ferrari V8.
Fun fact number three: that is exactly why collectors, drivers, and purists keep circling back to it. Not because it is old. Because it is irreplaceable.

The 458 Speciale was not the beginning of the future.
It was the perfection of the past.
And sometimes, that is far more special.

A 1972 Porsche 911 S does not need to shout. It just arrives, low, delicate, and impossibly right, like a memory from a better age when sports cars were light, mechanical, and gloriously alive. The steering talks, the flat six sings, and every corner feels less like driving and more like dancing with something beautifully wild.

This is the sort of machine that reminds you why people fall in love with cars in the first place. Not because they are fast on paper, but because some of them have a soul. And this one, with its long bonnet, perfect hips, and air cooled heartbeat, has enough soul to fill an entire era.

The Ferrari 288 GTO is completely, gloriously unhinged. It looks like a 308 that went to the gym, developed a co***ne habit, and came back wearing a Savile Row suit with a hand gr***de in its pocket. Those swollen arches are not styling. They are a warning. And behind your head sits a twin turbo V8 that does not so much deliver power as detonate it, like an angry opera singer being fired out of a cannon across Modena.

Thanks to for the shots 😮‍💨⚡️
