Enzo Ferrari could not have known then, but when he celebrates Feruccio Lamborghini rejected as a "tractor manufacturer", it planted seeds to create not only a beautiful vehicle, but a whole class of super cars.
The Lamborghini Miura was released in 1966 and surprised everyone, not only for its design but also to your specifications. It had disc brakes and independent suspension at all and most importantly, it was powered by a V12 mid-engined Miura that allowed to reach a top speed of 180 mph (290 km / h).
Miura stopped production cycle of 765 units. Of these, only 150 of the SVS, which means "Sprint Speed". 385HP Miura SV which was launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 1971 was the final version will greatly improve the manageability, the wider Campagnolo wheels with Pirelli tires, ventilated discs and an optional ZF limited slip differential.
An example of this rare conversion in 1972 with the number of right-hand drive chassis with a fully rebuilt 5036 V-12 that covered only 100 miles (160 km) is for sale at RM Auctions. It has a factory fitted air conditioning, limited slip diff, packet radio and cloth and Alcantara interior trim weird.
Of course, this car attracts only those who have (very) deep pockets: RM Auctions estimates that fetches around £ 750,000 - £ 900,000 (U.S. $ 1.18 to 1.4 million $). The auction will take place in London on 26 October.
You can also view a video of 14 minutes of the Miura SV after the jump. The commentator speaks Japanese, but still images and sound of the OAS to help.
