		At that point, however, the parallels between the two automotive legends begin to fail, because the cars Lamborghini brought to market under the sign of the bull were about as different from a Model T Ford as an F-16 is from a Piper Cub.
		Lamborghini was in his early twenties when World War II brought Europe to an abrupt halt.

	Cartype : Lamborghini Miura
		The original Miura, known as the P400, offered 350 bhp, later variants coming with progressively more power: 370 bhp in the P400S and 385 bhp in the P400SV, although Bob Wallace, who was Lamborghini development engineer, later said that the increases in claimed power had as much to do with marketing as engineering.
		The Miura's biggest problem was that it existed at the outer edge of the available 1960s technology, especially regarding tyres, and with so much power being sent through the rear wheels (via a notoriously on/off throttle) even the best drivers had to maintain a watchful respect to avoid the possibility to spinning the car.
		But the Miura's importance is also greater than that - as the first supercar it defined the segment for a generation of engineers and designers, its influence clear in many of the cars that have followed it.

		The Lamborghini Miura was born at the 1965 Turin Motor Show where a bodiless P400 chassis was put on display.

		The Miura is a purist supercar, and as such lacks any home comforts like air conditioning or a radio - besides the engine noise would have drowned out anything the radio had to offer.
