Very few cars manage to change the automobile world like the Miura.
With its posterior longitudinal engine V12 and fascinating body,
designed by Marcello Gandini for Bertone, the two-seater redefined the
concept of a sports car. At its debut the Miura was the fastest
production car in the world: With a speed over 280 kph and an
acceleration from 0-100 kph in 5,1 seconds the Lamborghini Miura set new
standards in the sports car segment. The original Miura P400 was
produced between 1966 and 1968, but the success story did not end there:
The Miura was first developed further into the Miura S (1968-1971) with
370 HP and later into the Miura SV (1971-1973), which had wider mud
guards and a greatly revamped 385 HP engine with separate lubricating
systems for engine and gearbox.
