Miura
The car that put the V12 behind the driver and invented the supercar as a category. Transverse, mid-mounted, and quicker than anything else on sale.
Six generations of one engine. The mid-engine V12 that started with the Miura in 1966, what changed at each step, and the cars that carried it.

The car that put the V12 behind the driver and invented the supercar as a category. Transverse, mid-mounted, and quicker than anything else on sale.

Sixteen years, 1,999 cars, and the poster that hung on every bedroom wall of the 1980s. Bertone's wedge, scissor doors, and a V12 that grew from four litres to 5.2.

The first Lamborghini past 320 km/h, and the one that grew up mid-life: four-wheel drive in 1993, Audi ownership in 1998, and a 6.0-litre send-off.

The first car of the Audi era and the first Lamborghini designed on a computer. Four-wheel drive as standard, and by the end an SV that shed 100 kg and gained 90 CV.

A carbon monocoque, an all-new 6.5-litre L539, and eleven years of getting louder. The Ultimae in 2022 was the last Lamborghini V12 without a motor attached.

The V12 kept its 9,000-rpm redline and gained three electric motors. Then the Fenomeno took it to 1,065 hp, the most powerful V12 Lamborghini has built.
