One of 150 Lamborghini Miura SVs (Spinto Veloce) built from 1971-1973. One of 96 late-production “split-sump” Miura P400 SVs, and one of 76 examples of the final year of production. German delivery example originally equipped with factory air conditioning. Here.

In 1965, the supercar didn't really exist - until the Miura. It was the first supercar; a car on a different level from all those that preceded it. Gian Paolo Dallara and assistant Paolo Stanzani designed the steel tub chassis that placed Bizzarrini’s V12 engine directly behind the driver in a transverse position. The final design was first presented as a bare chassis at the 1965 Turin Motor Show.

The Miura SV was launched at the 1971 Geneva Salon. It was the refined swansong of the car that made its debut at the same event in 1966. In total 148 SV Miuras were produced before the last car rolled off the line early in 1973. Today, the Miura SV is widely recognized as the most collectible Lamborghini ever made.
