This is the very special, and very rare 1967 Lamborghini Miura P400 finished in ‘Rosso Miura’, an early thin chassis example, and 1 of just around 474 total examples built of its kind! The Miura is quite the interesting model, as it was the first supercar with a rear mid-engined two-seat layout, this coming after French driver and automobile constructor, René Bonnet’s sports car known as the Matra Djet. The Djet was the world’s first rear mid-engined production road car. When the Miura was officially released to the public, it was in fact the fastest production road car available on the market, and has since become one of the most sought after automobiles for not only Lamborghini collectors and enthusiasts, but all passionate automotive aficionados around the world. The very first rolling chassis for the Lamborghini Miura was shown at the 1965 Turin Motor show, while the official P400 Prototype made its debut at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show. The Miura’s styling is credit to Italian car designer Marcello Gandini while working for Bertone, and over the course of the cars lifetime (1966-1973), a number of updates and enhancements were made to the model over time. The transversely-mounted mid-engine layout shown on the Miura was a major departure from previous Lamborghini models, and the name ‘Miura’ derived from a famous Spanish fighting bull breeder. The earliest Miura models were known as the ‘P400’ cars, or ‘Posteriore 4 litri’, which is exactly what you have shown here. It’s reported that around 474 P400 examples were produced worldwide from 1965 until 1968. The final, and possibly most famous production Miura was the P400SV or Miura SV, with only approximately 150 examples built for the world.
