Lamborghini Miura S - BTS with DTS - Ep. 1
The Lamborghini Miura is often described as the world’s first supercar, but it was actually something of an accident. Rather than being ordered by Ferruccio Lamborghini, the Miura was the result of his talented and young engineers riffing on what they themselves wanted to make. They brought their ideas to Ferruccio, who told them to go ahead and develop the concept. When it was shown publicly, everyone absolutely lost it over the car. Because of this reaction, what was intended to be an exploratory concept became a production car, one which created an entirely new genre of car, forever altering the course of the sports car.
In this video, Derek Tam-Scott explores not just the story of the creation of the Miura and the significance of the car, but also what it is actually like to experience. And frankly, the drive is not all sunshine and rainbows: the Miura is famously challenging to correctly operate but what an absolute experience. And isn’t this what supercars are all about? Maximum experience, practical considerations be damned, and the Miura has all of that in spades.
BTS (behind the scenes) with DTS:
Derek Tam-Scott’s spirit age is excess of 75 years old, and nowhere is that clearer than his taste in cars. At age 16, he went to work at one of the United States' foremost vintage car dealers, which cemented his elderly taste. Now with a decade and a half’s experience buying, selling, driving, and brokering classic and exotic cars, he’s experienced many of the world’s most iconic cars. And even liked some of them.
Most of the car enthusiasts of Derek’s generation (and well, let’s be honest, even a generation or two before him) don’t have much experience with the magic of vintage cars prior to the 1980s, and therefore lack the knowledge and exposure to get genuinely excited about them. The goal of BTS is to give an insider’s perspective on why these cars particularly are great...or at least interesting and noteworthy. Derek brings his encyclopedic knowledge and broad experience together to contextualize these cars to give the audience understanding of both why it matters, and what it’s actually like to experience the cars.

Guys! Your content makes me smile from ear to ear! You and Jason provide such a special dynamic
That induction noise is wonderful! And the whine when letting off in gear, just great!
When you already know the story, the amount of raw sound in this clip is what sets it apart from any other productions-regardless of value. It was a joy to watch.
The absolute eloquence of the narration is worth the price of admission!
I just watched perfection. Can you guys make a 1000 more videos like this one? Please
Derek, that was fantastic. You started out a little monotone, but as you got into the story, you became more emotional about the car's significance, and more again as you talked about how to properly drive this beautiful machine. I can only see these Behind The Scenes getting better as you get more under your belt. The emphasis on how to execute a smooth gearchange really was educational. Modern transmissions have synchros and clutches that are so forgiving that you don't have to finesse much at all. Watching you change from 2nd to 3rd, quick then slow on the double clutch, it really gave me an appreciation for your skill and for the mechanical sympathy that's needed to drive one of these cars frequently. Thank you for sharing just a sliver of this experience. I look forward to more!
Appreciate the driving impressions. It's these details that really give a sense of the car, and IMO are sometimes missed by reviews that focus too much on history, often history that is already well-known by anyone watching the video anyway.

#ISSIMI Official Great review about the legendary Lamborghini Miura. Since I found the channel, which is a hidden gem of KZread automobile channels btw, I really appreciate the content and in particular the evolution of topics, quality of motion pictures and the story writing. This video captures both the historical context, main engineering and design aspects as well as the imagination by involving the viewer in the driving experience and through superb exterior shots. Best of luck for the future, all the way from France

Im totally up for it if the boys @ /SSIMM\ wi the Killer Alienesque Logo bring one down here - the local roads up into Les Cevennes are a dream for a motor like that or maybe even the 2019 Stratos!!!!! Pourquoi Pas? 👽☠😈

@@Dtamscott Fantastic video Sir Hyphen! Thank you for sharing your experience of this beauty. Left me droolin! Love from India
This is a beautiful love letter to this extremely special car. Well done Hyphen
Derrick the lesson this video teaches me is that to drive every vehicle you encounter respectfully because someone might introduce you into this thing you can respectfully drive
Thank you guys!! So happy to see videos from the crew again!! Jason and yourself make amazing content.
That sound... oh my God! Perfect start to the new series Hyphen. I'd love to see more like this. Amazing stuff. Loved the driving impressions too. We mere mortals may never drive one, so its very interesting to hear how it actually drives. Constructive criticism: a few points the music is too loud and covers your voice. Add a little enthusiasm to your narration. But I'm sure you'll get into the groove of it more after doing a few episodes. 10/10!
New segment with hyphen? Leggo
The best video documentary I've seen on the Miura to date! Just fabulous!
Great content as usual, but the audio was a bit too loud for my liking!
This BTS series is a gem. This is the 3rd video I've watched and I'm now subscribed and devoted to watch as long as you continue doing these. I'm stunned by how well you document the cars as if they were a 400 year old piece of art. But there's something unique in these video... It feels final. As if you were writing a eulogy to be the final word on these masterpieces should no others ever get the opportunity to see them again. Bravo!
The most beautiful car ever made. In videos and photos it looks great but seeing it in person is a breathtaking experience.
Bravissimo! Thank you Derek and the Issimi crew.
I watch a lot of car videos. Probably too many ‘’unnecessary’’ ones. But this is so much above the rest! Exceptional writing and editing. It gave me goosebumps. Thanks!
Best hommage to the Miura I have seen so far. Bravo!
I’m so glad that you’re doing this. I started watching because of Jason, but I have really enjoyed your knowledge and love of cars. Great job!
"Thank you for your service" is a new take on seeing a Miura driver :)
love this channel
Stunning video. Loved the car, the setting, the drone shots, the historical comments, and the honesty about the cars flaws. Brilliant work.
I saw a miura once I have the guy a hand shake and said thank you for driving it and letting common people as my self get to see such wonderful craftsmanship .he looked at me and said you welcome
Really appreciate the production quality. Every shot is aesthetically pleasing

If you're happy with sub-par sound editing, good for you. I guess some people are happy to accept mediocrity. Maybe these people have sub-par lives, they have accepted this, that everything about them is sub-par. Sad. And, it's adorable to some people still use 'snowflake' as an insult. So witty, so original, so cutting! Sub-par comeback. "Oh no, someone on the internet called me a snowflake, whatever shall I do?!?" Hahah!!!
This is FANTASTIC Derek! I was worried for Issimi’s videos when Jason left. Not anymore. Beautiful work! Avanti!
i am so going to watch this again and again and again and again.
A beautiful car, beautiful scenery, beautiful man and beautifully crafted narrative.
This is THE single most beautiful video I’ve ever watched/listened to... Amazing
Beautiful car, beautiful cinema photography, beautiful writing, I really thoroughly enjoyed this video, it was an experience within itself, allowing viewers to experience the car to that level is extremely difficult through a media platform and you've done a fantastic job, I can't wait for what's next As a side note at around the 7 minute mark the music becomes a tad to loud forcing viewers to struggle to here hyphens voice, but I digress, fantastic nevertheless!!
Gotta love a bloke who has a miura and a miata as his favorite cars...what legend
The gear change "it requires a strange mix between gentleness and force", very well said and exactly like on my BMW E21
The maddest tractor ever made. Strong work here.

From France with passion and respect ✌🏼🇨🇵😎
Excellent piece Derek. You have a great disposition and tempo in your voice to host these kind of videos. I love the pieces from Jason but Issimi is in good hands with your video(s) as well. Well done!
That whistling of the engine as it accelerated was truly beautiful😢 thanks for such an informative insight to such a beautiful car👍🏾
Beautiful, incredible, loss of words on the elegance of this video a must watch for anyone who appreciates car art!
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful machine with us.
The Miura along with the 246 GT Dino to me are two of the most visually perfect Italian sports cars of their era. While I havn’t and expect I never will experience the aural pleasure of a Muira, having been for a ride in a Dino, I totally understand why such hero cars deserve their place in history..They truely are special.
Absolutely beautiful video, excellent work from Derek and the team at Issimi. I am struggling to contain the tears of joy after watching this video, it is great to people that love cars, make such a wonderful piece, I cannot wait to see what more will come.
Probably the greatest car content video I've seen the last few years... for sure one of the best :)
Beautifully shot and edited. Sympathetically and intelligently narrated. Wonderful 👏🏻👏🏻
Excellent videography, brilliant reporting, gorgeous subject - thank you for sharing.
DTHS you mean, right?
Beautiful shots, great writing, a big thank you to Issimi crew and Hyphen
Best styled Lamborghini ever
In my opinion one of the top 5 most beautiful cars ever made.
Beautiful car. Beautiful country. When it isn’t burning. The countryside, not the car. Wish I could still afford to live there. You’re off to a great start with this solo video series. Now, kick through that fourth wall and say hello.
Derek I love your love for old classic cars, and not just because they almost burnt Jasons garage down
Oh Highway 1. Every time I think of moving out of California I'm reminded of all the different environments you can see just going down highway 1 and I'm like damn...She is beautiful, you've got to admit...
Great video DT-S! Lovely car. Who needs Discount Sandler! (JK was super thrilled to get a new Carmudgeon) I missed you two!
Great first video for the series! Looking forward to seeing, more!(your 500e maybe?) the one thing as others mentioned is the sound mix. One or two instances where the music swelled and overshadowed the narration, an easy fix. Long live issimi!
Simply AWESOME!!! Great video, please do more.
Beautiful video. I agree on the sound mixing, but I could watch Derek row those gears on continuous play. Every gear change is marked on the calendar, and in a good way.
Thanks Derek. I was unsure what was gonna happen to this channel. It appears to be in good hands. I hope to see more of these, you did a great job!!
More! More! MORE! This was such an enjoyable and informative video!

Very, very good start. Going to miss Jason doing these but Derek seems to have it going on, too.
Bravo, bravo... Bravo, Mr T-S... brilliant, insightful narration.. gorgeous cinematography, effective and tasteful use of historic footage and b-roll, and lovely location choice.. what a strong debut, and hopefully a sign of what’s to come.
One of the upmost bucket list cars to drive in a lifetime.
I love this, detailed, precise, and a honest film. but I must ask did you guys hire the old Top gear sound editor? Feels like its slightly imbalanced at times when you're talking and the music is playing hyphen. Please don't take this in bad spirits this is a fantastic film.
Alpine Dam, nice choice for filming.
Beautifully done. Just like the Miura.
Nice. Great job DTS, stepping up the game.
Well done, Mr. --!
Great show..... Loved it. The pictures and filming made me think they hired Larry Chen. Great filming.
One of the best descriptions and video excellence I have seen of an icon.
Great video and looking forward to seeing more from you folks!
Excellent, thank you! The sound of the V 12 at song literally brought a tear to my eye. Beautiful done videos. Thank you.
That car looks so fresh out of the factory, I'm surprised the metal is still not glowing red! Never mind the jaw dropping looks.
Excellent photography and Sound! of a sublime vehicle
The locations and the shots look like Need For Speed Porsche. Just awesome!
Beautifully done, can't wait until the next one!
you convey it great Derek, almost feeling that gear shift. Much obliged!

Easily one of the best videos I have seen of the Miura. Excellent audio, The narrator’s voice was calming, and the music was very soothing. Great driver, too! Thank you for this video, I will be sharing it with friends.
What a wonderful video and great writing. its like I was right there with you on this journey. Thank you!
Thank you for making this. Very little of any depth in this car out there. Chapeau
