Lando Norris and his transition from Jolly to Miura

As Norris made the switch from a $50,000 Jolly to a million-dollar Miura, he showed the diversity in his choice of cars. Apart from the slow and cute Fiat 500 to a Lamborghini beast, the 23-year-old driver also owns a few McLarens.

With this, he also mentioned, “It’s 15 horsepower, so it’s maybe also the slowest car I think I could possibly ever buy. But I think that’s why I love it so much”. Nevertheless, Lando Norris seems content with the latest Lamborghini Miura he got his hands on recently.
