Presented for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show in 1966, the MIURA became a veritable legend of the sixties.

"The most sinuous and fascinating Italian after Sofia Loren ...: was the definition it received from an American journalist at the time.

Those were the Sixties: times of sweeping changes, years that left their mark.

The Beatles, minishirts, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, etc.

Some of the more significant occurances of the second half of the century were born and developed in just a few years.

At the same time, Nuccio Bertone and Ferruccio Lamborghini shook the world of the Automobile with a model of sophisticated technology and stunning beauty: it was called ..........MIURA.
