The Miura SV debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 1972, sporting several design and mechanical changes. It was introduced with a reinforced chassis, redesigned rear suspension, ventilated disc brakes, and some tweaks to the engine. These tweaks bumped the V12’s power output to 380 hp at 7,850 rpm and 295 lb-ft at 5,750 rpm.
The Bizzarrini-designed V12 would live on for decades, powering several models right up to the Murcielago. The second-gen V12 powered the Aventador, and Lamborghini used its impressive profits to develop an all-new plug-in hybrid V12 for the Revuelto.
More importantly, Lamborghini tweaked the suspension and aerodynamics to handle that awkward lifting problem. Earlier models tended to start taking off at 120 mph, lifting the contact patches slightly. Mid-engine cars are known for being unforgiving, so you kind of need the front wheels to keep you pointed in the right direction.
