Built by Marchesi of Modena from 0.8-mm folded steel sheet, the structure weighed barely 120 kilograms, an astonishing feat for the time. Its central tub served as the structural heart of the car, with front and rear subframes carrying suspension and mechanical components. Racing-derived double-wishbones, Girling discs, and Borrani wire wheels completed the package, signaling a new level of road-car engineering.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-8.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-892021\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-8.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-8-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-8-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-8-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-8-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-8-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-8-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-8-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-8-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-8-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-8-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-8-1400x933.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But the most revolutionary innovation was the integrated engine-and-gearbox unit mounted transversely behind the cockpit, an ultra-compact powertrain layout that had never before appeared on a production road car.

It didn\u2019t just set new standards for performance and design; it created an entirely new category. An English journalist, searching for the right word, coined a term that had never been used before: supercar.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-11.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-892025\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-11.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-11-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-11-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-11-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-11-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-11-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-11-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-11-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-11-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-11-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-11-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-11-1400x933.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>2026: Celebrating 60 years of the world\u2019s first supercar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2026, Lamborghini will honor the Miura with a year of festivities and a dedicated Polo Storico tour, gathering owners and enthusiasts from around the globe to celebrate the car that transformed the brand\u2014and the entire automotive landscape.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-10.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-892024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-10.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-10-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-10-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-10-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-10-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-10-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-10-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-10-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-10-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-10-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-10-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Lamborghini-Miura-Chassis-10-1400x933.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Born from courage, creativity, and a rebellious spirit, the Miura remains much more than a classic.
