Produced between 1966 and 1973, the Lamborghini Miura was the fastest street sports car produced at that time.
Considered the first supercar, with the central-mounted engine, the Miura was designed by the Lamborghini engineers against the wish of the company’s Founder, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Ferruccio was rather a fan of Gran Turismos.
The first prototype, the P400, was revealed by the end of 1965, while the first Miura was unveiled in March 1966.
Possibly one of the most beautiful cars even made, the Miura as initially limited to 30 units, however, Ferruccio had to reconsider his decision due to the high demand.
The interior was simple, specific to the 60s, with a low seating position and a 3-spoke steering wheel.
The center console was tall and wide and that was uncommon for the time.
The cabin was equipped with 6 gauges that displayed the engine temperature, fuel, oil pressure and others.
The door panels, the dashboard and the seats were covered in leather, and the floor had a soft carped.
The Miura ran on a 3.9-liter V12 engine that was also used for the previous 350GT and the 400GT. The engine cranked out 350 hp and 300 pound-feet of torque and was mated with a 5-speed manual transmission. The 0 to 100 km/h took around 6.3 seconds.
Despite the high price, Lamborghini managed to sell around 275 units in 3 years.
