What is this extraordinary car, you ask. This is the legendary Lamborghini Miura, which was the founder of the supercar segment and brought worldwide fame to the Italian car company.
The Lamborghini Miura SV of 1971, which is capable of developing a speed of 290 km/h, has been put up for auction by RM Sotheby's and is expected to fetch from 3 to 3.5 million dollars.
In the period from 1966 to 1971, about 760 Lamborghini Miura were produced and now it is difficult to find such a car cheaper than 1 million dollars.
As for the supercar that is put up for auction, its price is even higher. After all, only 150 cars came off the assembly line in the final SV series. They received a modified version of the 4.0-liter V12 with increased power to 385 horsepower. These characteristics made it the fastest car of its time.
In addition, the suspension was modified there, the wheel was widened and new tires were installed. An air conditioner was installed for the first time.
What is the secret of saving this car? According to the sellers, it was restored twice and was stored in a garage under special conditions. The total mileage was 43 thousand km.
I would like to drive in such a car at least once. I am sure that it will be a very memorable race.
