As you might know, Lamborghini only built 763 examples of the Miura. Built between 1966 and 1972, they were offered in various horsepower and trim levels. The Miura SV or SuperVeloce is among the most coveted model, and only one example was built to race from the factory. The only Miura SVR is one of one, and Lamborghini’s Polo Storico (Historical) division spent 19 months restoring it.

It was delivered to the Turin dealership in 1968, and after a few owners it ended up in Germany.

This process was 18 months, and when it emerged it was so sensational that it was purchased by Hiromitsu Ito and shipped to the land of the rising sun. It was and is so wild that it inspired a 1:18 model by toy company Kyosho. It has also been a major plot device in the manga series “Circuit Wolf”.
