In 1966, when the stunning Lamborghini Miura debuted at the Geneva Auto Show, it shook the automotive industry. The car’s sleek, muscular lines and an engine positioned mid-mounted was influenced by the motorsports world but was something never seen before in road cars.
The pièce de résistance was the intriguing transverse, mid-mounted V12 engine in the vehicle. Not only did this provide a profoundly beautiful silhouette, but it also provided the Miura incredible balance and weight distribution. The vehicle became the world’s first supercar and set the scene for contemporary hypercars of today.
