Automobili Lamborghini celebrates an extraordinary anniversary: 60 years of Lamborghini Miura

Sant’Agata Bolognese, 10th March 2026 - When Lamborghini debuted the Miura at the Geneva Motor Show on 10th March 1966, the company did far more than introduce a new car. It redefined what a high-performance road vehicle could be. The Miura featured V12 engine that was transversely mounted behind the driver, a layout that was inspired by motorsport design. It was a radical architecture that broke with GT tradition. The Miura boasted performance figures that, for the time, seemed surreal. The shape of the car, created by the legendary design firm Bertone, was immediately iconic and remains so today.

The Miura was not simply another Lamborghini, it was a statement of intent for the young company. Launched just three years after the founding of Automobili Lamborghini, the Miura was the third model to be unveiled, and it established core values of the brand that lasted for decades to come. Courage over convention; innovation without compromise; design and engineering pushed to their limits.
