The Birth of the Supercar

The Lamborghini Miura revolutionized the automotive world when it debuted in 1966. Designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone, it was the first production car to feature a mid-mounted engine, a layout that would become the template for all future supercars.

With its transversely mounted 3.9-liter V12 engine producing up to 385 horsepower in SV form, the Miura offered unprecedented performance wrapped in one of the most beautiful automotive designs ever created.

The Miura's influence extends far beyond its production run. It established Lamborghini as a serious competitor to Ferrari and created the blueprint for the modern supercar that continues to this day.
