The Lamborghini Miura

The Lamborghini Miura is a sports car produced by Italian automaker Lamborghini between 1966 and 1972. The car is widely considered to have begun the trend of high performance, two-seater, mid-engined sports cars.[3] While the mid-engined layout had been used successfully in competition in cars such as the Ford GT40 and Ferrari 250 LM at Le Mans, the Miura was the first viable road car sporting the layout.

Lamborghini Miura Top Cars

The Lamborghini Miura was born at the 1965 Turin Motor Show where a bodiless P400 chassis was put on display.
Nuccio Bertone saw the chassis and offered Ferruccio Lamborghini a body for his creation. The resulting Lamborghini Miura, designed by Bertone's Marcello Gandini, was shown at the Geneva Motor Show the next year.

The public liked the Miura so much that Lamborghini decided to put the Miura into production - somewhat hurriedly. Early Miura's suffered from mild defects and 'niggles', worst of which was a tendency for front end lift at high speed. However these problems were gradually eased on later models.

The Miura is a purist supercar, and as such lacks any home comforts like air conditioning or a radio - besides the engine noise would have drowned out anything the radio had to offer.
