Lamborghini's first true supercar (1966-1973). Transverse mid-engine V12. The car that launched the modern supercar category.
The Lamborghini Miura is a mid-engine supercar produced from 1966 to 1973. The Miura was Lamborghini first true supercar and one of the most influential cars in automotive history; it launched the modern mid-engine supercar category. The car used a transverse-mounted Lamborghini V12 engine, designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone, with styling that has aged into iconic status. Multiple Miura variants existed: P400 (1966-1969), P400S (1969-1971), P400SV (1971-1973). The P400SV is widely considered the most desirable, with various engineering refinements over the original. The Jota was the racing-derived performance variant. The Miura inspired countless mid-engine supercars including the Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer, the Lamborghini Countach, and modern supercars from various manufacturers. The car has been celebrated continuously as one of the most beautifully designed cars ever produced. On WhipJury, Miura submissions are extremely rare but reliably top voting when they appear.
