The Lamborghini Miura P 400 SV

The 1972 P 400 Miura SV was the final evolution of the legendary Miura - the first super sports car with a modern design.

Steady demand for the Miura S prompted Lamborghini to introduce a more advanced version called the SV (Super Veloce). This occurred during development of the subsequent, revolutionary model called the Countach LP 500, which made its worldwide debut in the spring of 1971. The Miura P 400 SV was equipped with a 4 liter, 385 HP V12 engine and attained a maximum speed of over 290 kmh.

Although it lacked the signature "eyebrows" over the headlamps, the SV stood out for its new rear suspension, wider track and more powerful  engine. And unlike previous models, it was equipped with separate lubrication. The last Miura produced in January 1973 was purchased by a  famous Italian industrialist. 150 of these remarkable cars were built from 1971 to 1972.
