Lamborghini Miura

Unveiled as a rolling chassis at the 1965 Turin Motor Show, the Lamborghini Miura created the template for the modern supercar and shocked an industry still building sports cars with engines at the front. Marcello Gandini's Bertone-designed body, with its sweeping fastback and iconic eyelash headlamp covers, is considered one of the most beautiful shapes ever put on four wheels. The mid-mounted transverse V12 produced up to 385 horsepower in P400 SV form, giving a top speed of 175 mph that made it the fastest road car of its era and established Lamborghini as a genuine rival to Ferrari.
