Miura P400 History
The sports car was number one at its time in terms of speed. By that time 280mph was something unique, and thus, Lamborghini Miura P400 became a car of a whole new level.

Later in 2008, P400 models gained popularity after the same model of car finished the first at Gran Turismo. Moreover, it found its place in movies and video games.
