It was in 1971 exactly 50 years ago that the luxury brand Lamborghini introduced the Lamborghini Miura SV was presented at the Geneva Motor Show. The Miura SV, in which the "V" signifies speed, or rapidity, was launched to complement the S version, but as it had a huge success in the market, it ended up replacing it.
Nowadays the Lamborghini Miura SV is a vintage car most desired by lovers of classics. It is considered the best definition of “supercar” at the time, as well as the best version ever produced of all Miura.
The Miura SV is a little different from the other Miura (P400 and P400 S), both technically and aesthetically. While maintaining the same general configuration, with the 4-liter 12-cylinder engine placed in the rear central position, the SV adopts a more rigid and reinforced structure at some crucial points.
In this version, it uses tires of different sizes between the front and rear, with the rear rims ranging from 7 to 9 inches and adopting 255 tires. Of all the Miura SVs produced in gold, customers have chosen the most.
The SV is visually characterized by wider rear fenders, tail lights of different designs and a front hood with a different air intake to cool the radiator. Its interior is more elegant compared to previous versions, due to a greater use of leather in the upholstery and also to the presence of several chrome elements.
The declared maximum speed for the Miura SV is over 290 km / h and is reached in just under 24 seconds (which is impressive even today). 150 Miura SV units were produced until the beginning of 1973, when production ended.
In 1975, a last specimen was commissioned by Walter Wolf and is kept at the MUDETEC, the Lamborghini Museum in Sant'Agata Bolognese.
