Beneath its low-slung body, just 1.05 meters high, lies a naturally aspirated 3.9-liter V12 engine producing between 350 and 385 ch, depending on the version. Paired with a five-speed manual transmission, the Miura could reach nearly 290 km/h in its SV version—exceptional performance for the late 1960s.

The orange hue of the model seen with Jason Statham is, in fact, no coincidence. This color was one of the visual hallmarks of Bertone’s designs at the time and played a major role in cementing the Miura’s legendary status.
