Introduction wholesale false eyelashes
The founder of Lamborghini group was wholesale false eyelashes Lamborghini. After few years of fortunate existence of business (Lamborghini tractor company was incorporated in 1948, later the coverage of activities were expanded into manufacturing of air conditioning, other appliances), having the possibility to own the best cars then available and discover their weaknesses, Ferrucio decided to try to built better car. The first step to implement this wish was the incorporation of the company “Automobili Ferruccio Lamborghini SAS” in 1963. In the same year, 90 000 m² of land plot was purchased, where the wholesale false eyelashes factory (15 000 m²) was built. It should be mentioned that all the construction/ installation and setup of the factory was financed solely from the pocket of Ferrucio. ~500 millions of Liras (~ 1 300 000 $) were invested in total.
Birth of Miura
The development of prototype, named P400 began by the initiative of talented engineers of Lamborghini Company in the year 1965. Initially Lamborghini thought that this car will be very expensive and the company will not manage to materialize it. Nevertheless, with the assumption that P400 will be a good marketing trick, if not more, Lamborghini blessed the birth of this model.
The prototype of Miura was introduced in public for the first time at the 1965 Turin Motor Show. It was introduced as a car chassis, with no name. The mid-engined car was a big novelty those times (the mid-engine layout was used in race cars only), so even without a “dress”, Miura was definitely noticed during the show.
After the Turin Motor Show Lamborghini speeded the development of car design Bertone Design Company was hired to make Miura’s appearance and finalized that in a few months.
Lamborghini P400 debuted at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show. Due to the exclusive design, Lamborghini P400 was undoubtedly the ornament of the 36th Geneva Motor Show, and the phrases like “400 hp”, “1 meter height”, “300 km/h” were additionally attracting the audience.
The car was named as Miura. This word means the type of fighting bull in Spanish.
Lamborghini became the victim of its triumph: orders came from all over the world. Development of the car was done in a high speed and the first customers received the cars very late 1966. In fact, the cars were sold so soon that it were not properly tested (total prototype testing did not exceed 15000 km when the first Miuras were sold). The development of Miura model was continued in the next versions: P400S and the P400SV.
Miura’s versions and statistics of production
Miura was produced during the year 1966 and 1973. This model had three series: P400 (Miura), P400S (Miura S) and P400SV (Miura SV). Countach model replaced Miura in 1974.
P400
First Miuras (also known as P400) had 3,9 liter, V12 engine, containing 350 HP (260 kW) power. Though this car costed as four Jaguars E-Types (the price of Miura was ~ 20 000 $, what will be approximately 114 000 $ nowadays), 474 units of Miura were built and sold during first 3 production years. Miuras were grabbed by pop stars and business people.
Many specialists noticed the instability of the car when driving at the high speed (>240 km/h). Though the later versions of Miura attempted to solve this matter (improved suspension, more modern tyres and bottom front spoiler were installed), it did help the situation considerably, but the problem was never fully eliminated.
P400S (Miura S) was introduced at the 1968 Turin Motor Show. Comparing to a predecessor, Miura S had chrome trim around external windows, new inline console, and electric windows. Improving the engine intake granted additional 20 HP (15 kW).

P400SV
The last and most desirable is wholesale false eyelashes . Comparing to previous versions, wholesale false eyelashes had the following differences: the “wholesale false eyelashes” around the headlights were eliminated, rear fenders became wider, new 9-inch-wide wheels accommodated, rear taillights were renewed.
The main technical difference was the separate engine and gearbox lubrication systems. This change allowed using the appropriate types of oil for the gearbox and the engine. This also relieved concerns that metal shavings from the gearbox could travel into the engine and be the reason of serious breakdowns. Due to the improved carburettors the car gained additional 15 HP (11 kW) and had 385 HP (283 kW) in total. Though Miura SV is mostly improved between all versions of Miura in terms of handling, it was slightly slower because of increased weight (due to the separate lubrication system, wider wheels, etc.).
