SECRET REVEALED: THE MIURA’S CHASSIS WAS SO THIN IT COULD FIT IN A V12’S BRIEFCASE

Automobili Lamborghini has unveiled the iconic 'P400' chassis, reigniting the legend of the Miura V12 mid-engine sports car as it approaches its 60th anniversary. The Miura stands as the most legendary model in Lamborghini's storied history and is widely recognized as the world's first true supercar.

At the 1965 Turin Motor Show, Lamborghini introduced the 'P400' rolling chassis, a prototype featuring only the drivetrain components.

This revolutionary design showcased a massive 4-liter V12 engine mounted transversely between the rear axles, all sitting atop a lightweight chassis crafted from thin steel plates.

Such an innovative layout, drawing inspiration from racing technology, was a rarity in production cars of the era. Even as an incomplete vehicle, the P400's pure mechanical structure captivated audiences.

This groundbreaking design eventually evolved into the production Miura model, marking the dawn of a new era for Lamborghini and setting the stage for decades of automotive innovation to come.
