Overview
- Lamborghini has launched year-long celebrations marking the Miura’s 60th anniversary, with CEO Stephan Winkelmann praising its role in defining the supercar.
- The Miura debuted on March 10, 1966 at the Geneva Motor Show, following a 1965 Turin reveal of its P400 rolling chassis.
- Engineers Gian Paolo Dallara, Paolo Stanzani and Bob Wallace developed the P400 off the clock before Ferruccio Lamborghini approved it.
- Marcello Gandini’s work at Bertone produced the Miura’s low, flowing form with signature ‘eyelash’ headlight surrounds and rear slats.
- A transverse mid-mounted V12 delivered 350–385 hp and roughly 170 mph, and 763 cars were built across P400, P400S and P400SV, cementing its cultural impact from The Italian Job to celebrity ownership.
