Hot Wheels 71 Lamborghini Miura SV

The Lamborghini Miura was a sports car manufactured by Lamborghini from 1966 to 1973. Designed by Bertone’s Marcello Gandini, who would later go onto design the wedge-shaped Countach, the Miura is notable as the first supercar with a rear mid-engined two-seat layout. Debuting at the 1965 Turin Auto Show where it wowed the crowds with its sleek design and revolutionary mid-engined design, the car’s mid-engined layout eventually became the standard for high-performance supercars and was the fastest production car on its introduction. Allegedly, the car was designed against Ferruccio Lamborghini’s wishes, who preferred grand tourers over race car-derived and inspired machines. Production ended in 1973 with 764 produced.

The base of the casting reads ‘71 Lamborghini Miura P400SV. Since 2020 the casting’s name has been shortened to ‘71 Lamborghini Miura SV.
