Lamborghini Miura: The First True Supercar

The Lamborghini Miura didn't just establish a new category of car - it created the template for every supercar that followed. When it debuted in 1966, the Miura's mid-mounted V12 engine and stunning Bertone bodywork redefined automotive possibilities. Designed by Marcello Gandini when he was just 27 years old, the Miura's dramatic wedge profile and scissor doors influenced supercar design for decades. Its 350-horsepower V12 could propel the Miura to 171 mph, making it the fastest production car of its era. The Miura proved that Italian passion and engineering could create automotive art that was as beautiful as it was fast.
