'71 Lamborghini Miura SV

The Lamborghini Miura was a sports car manufactured by Lamborghini from 1966 to 1973. Designed by Bertones Marcello Gandini, who would later go onto design the wedge-shaped Countach, the Miura is notable as the first supercar with a rear mid-engined two-seat layout. Debuting at the 1965 Turin Auto Show where it wowed the crowds with its sleek design and revolutionary mid-engined design, the cars mid-engined layout eventually became the standard for high-performance supercars and was the fastest production car on its introduction. Allegedly, the car was designed against Ferruccio Lamborghinis wishes, who preferred grand tourers over race car-derived and inspired machines. The Miura P400 SV, introduced in 1971, was the final revision of the Miura, featuring a bump in power in its 3.9L L406 V12 to 380 horsepower. Production ended in 1973 with 764 produced, of which 150 were Miuras. The base of the casting reads 1971 Lamborghini Miura P400 SV. This casting introduces the RRICE wheel type a
