Having become a legend with the Miura and Miura S models since their production began in 1966, in the spring of 1971 Ferruccio Lamborghini surprised the world with the new Super Car Countach LP 500. Because the demand for the Miura was still high and preparations were still underway for the mass production of the Countach LP 500, the company decided to present the evolution of the Miura, the SV model (Sprint Veloce), with its wider mud guard and greatly revamped 385 HP engine with separate lubricating systems for engine and gearbox.
The SV can be distinguished from its predecessors from its lack of "eyelashes" around the headlights, wider rear fenders to accommodate the new 9-inch wide rear wheels and Pirelli Cinturato tires, and different taillights. Also the carburetor changed the intakes were larger.
The Miura SV could hit a top speed of 186 mph.
After 150 units produced, the last Miura SV was delivered on 15th January 1973 to the son of the car manufacturer Ferdinando Innocenti.
