Miura P400S
Miura P400SV
Miura SVJ
The Lamborghini Miura is a sports car produced by Italian automaker Lamborghini between 1966 and 1972. The car is widely considered to have begun the trend of high performance, two-seater, mid-engined sports cars. While the mid-engined layout had been used successfully in competition in cars such as the Ford GT40 and Ferrari 250 LM at Le Mans, the Miura was the first viable road car sporting the layout.
Joe Sackey's book, The Miura Bible, includes a chassis list from his own research and notes some cars that have been rebuilt. Neither book relates a chassis number to a Miura version; P400, S, or SV, and a few cars were changed (below). For many years the following figures were accepted:
- Miura P400: 474 produced
- Miura S: 140 produced
- Miura SV: 150 produced
- Miura SVJ: 6 produced
P400 SV/J the most expensive of Lamborghini Miura
Once customers heard about the Jota, they requested their own "Jota". Lamborghini could not justify the expense of building a series of Jotas, so they offered an upgraded SV model instead. This model, known as the SV/J, featured upgrades to the engine, suspension components, exterior and interior.

Of the five examples of the Miura SV/J built by the factory while the Miura was still in production, two were built new (chassis #5090 and #5100) and three were converted from existing SVs (chassis #4934, #4860 & #4990). All of these still exist. Chassis #5100 is however the only SVJ to feature the dry sump lubrication system as per the mechanics of the original Jota #5084.
One of these cars, chassis #4934, was built for the Shah of Iran Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The Shah stored this car under armed guard with another SV in Royal Palace in Tehran. After he fled the country during the Iranian Revolution, his cars were seized by the Iranian government. The SV/J was sold into Dubai in 1995. In 1997 this car was sold via a Brooks auction to Nicolas Cage, at US$490,000, becoming the model's highest ever price sold in an auction. Cage sold the car in 2002.
A sixth SV/J was built at the Lamborghini factory between 1983 and 1987 from an unused Miura S chassis. This was made for Jean Claude Mimran, one of the Mimran brothers, the then owner of Lamborghini.

Influenced by the popular Ford GT40, the Lamborghini Miura 1966 managed to stirr excitement a long time before it was actually finished. After seeing the uncompleted framework at the Turin Motor Display in 1965 persons rushed into place their particular orders even though the body was not been constructed. When it finally came out in 1966, the initial design as well as the clam covering hoods required everyone by shock. It announced several engine types that have been named the P400, the P400S plus the P400SV.
