Named after Spain’s wildest and most feared fighting bulls, the Lamborghini Miura (pronounced me-you-ra) had a profound impact on the motoring world when launched at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show.
The Miura can lay claim to being the world’s first true production mid-engined supercar, refining a template that would become the staple layout for the world’s hypercars for evermore.
Given the 4 litre transverse V12 produced 385 bhp in SV trim, propelling the Miura to a top speed of 276 kph, proved it certainly had the performance to match its voluptuous form.
In recent times the Miura has regularly been voted the “World’s Sexiest Car” and the “Most Beautiful Car in the World” by prominent classic car magazines and renowned automotive designers
