The Lamborghini Miura is a mid-engine sports car produced by the Italian manufacturer Lamborghini between 1966 and 1973. It is widely regarded as one of the first modern supercars and played a crucial role in establishing Lamborghini’s reputation as a high-performance automotive brand.

The Miura featured a transversely mounted V12 engine positioned behind the driver and ahead of the rear axle, a layout that was innovative for road cars at the time. This configuration contributed to improved weight distribution and high-speed performance. The vehicle’s flowing bodywork, designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone, became one of the most celebrated automotive designs of its era.

Produced in limited numbers, the Lamborghini Miura set new standards for speed and styling in the late 1960s. It remains a landmark model in automotive history and a defining symbol of early supercar engineering and design innovation.
