One of the most iconic supercars 1966 Lamborghini Miura P400SV Designed by Bertone
1965 Turin Auto Show, Lamborghini Automobili unveiled something out of this world, a masterpiece that has never seen before.
A car? No, much more better, a chassis of a car.
The story says that at that event Nuccio Bertone was very fascinated by that chassis, so he approached Ferruccio Lamborghini and said: “I’m the one who can make the shoe to fit your foot”. Ferruccio of course agreed.
The body for that chassis was designed in only 4 months by the young Marcello Gandini and the final car was unveiled at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show and it was the highlight of the show. That car was the Lamborghini Miura.
Ferruccio’s reaction? Disappointment. The first time he saw the car he said: “how am I supposed to put my foot in it? There’s no hole, see?”
So they went back to work and 2 years later, at the 1968 Brussels Auto Show, Bertone unveiled the Miura Roadster, that was actually in a targa configuration. It was finished in a metallic light blue color, a slightly redesigned rear, no engine cover and, most importantly, it had no roof.
The Lamborghini Miura P400S is the car the is the definition of cool back in the day. If you owned a Miura then, you are definitely going places. Famous Stars owners of the Miura included Miles Davis Frank Sinatra, Elton John, and Rod Stewart.
Only 764 Lamborghini Miuras were built from 1966 to 1973.
