Miura

The engine moved behind

The Miura put a transverse V12 behind the seats and defined the modern supercar silhouette. The 150 factory-recorded SVs lead; originality separates P400, S and SV. Jota-derived cars sit outside ordinary comparisons.

Overview

A chassis shown before its body

Dallara, Stanzani and Wallace developed a compact mid-engined chassis while Ferruccio Lamborghini's company was still selling front-engined GTs. Bertone received the package, and Marcello Gandini drew the body around its transverse engine and low roof.

The finished Miura debuted at Geneva in March 1966. Lamborghini's current history records 265 P400s, 338 P400 S cars and 150 SVs, plus specials. Other published totals differ because prototypes, transition cars and factory conversions are not counted consistently.

The SV arrived in 1971 as the most developed regular version. Production ended in 1973, after the Countach had already shown where Lamborghini's V12 flagship would go next.
