Lamborghini is celebrating the 50th birthday of arguably its most iconic creation, the Miura SV. The last iteration of Lamborghini’s now-legendary P400 project is widely known as the pioneer of the supercar as a concept.
The Lamborghini Miura SV was first unveiled to the world in March, 1971 at the Carrozzeria Bertone stand at the Geneva Motor Show. It sat alongside the Countach LP500, which at the time, was just a concept car of Lamborghini’s vision for the future.
Just 150 examples of the Miura SV – which stands for Super Veloce, Italian for super-fast – ever rolled out of Lamborghini’s Sant’Agata, Bolognese production facility and headquarters. In total, Lamborghini Miura production extended to 741 units, with 474 examples of the Miura P400, 140 Miura S and 150 Miura SVs.
