The pen is mightier than the sword. But is it mightier than the original Supercar, the Lamborghini Miura, in building an owner the aura of refinement, superiority, elegance, luxury, and class? Montegrappa thinks it is. A pen is a very…

More than just a special paint scheme, the unique open-top supercar serves as a rolling tribute to the car that started it all: the legendary Tipo 26. One hundred years later, Maserati has chosen to honor that milestone with a bespoke…
Before the Miura, the world's fastest grand tourers put their big engines up front. Shown as a bare chassis at the 1965 Turin show and as a finished car at Geneva in 1966, the Miura mounted its V12 crosswise behind its occupants, beneath bodywork drawn by a young Marcello Gandini at Bertone. It was low, voluptuous and staggeringly fast for its day, and it is widely regarded as the first true supercar. Named for a famous breeder of Spanish fighting bulls, it gave Lamborghini its lasting identity.
The Countach, which reached customers in 1974 as the LP400, took the opposite visual approach. Gandini again wielded the pen, producing a flat, angular wedge with doors that swung upward, and the car became the poster on countless bedroom walls through the 1970s and 1980s. Its name comes from a Piedmontese exclamation of astonishment, and successive versions, with wider bodies, bigger wings and more power, kept it in production until 1990, when the Diablo took over.
Both are now among the most valuable cars on the collector market, with restored examples commanding prices far beyond what their first owners paid. Lamborghini's Polo Storico heritage department restores and certifies them, and the company revived the Countach name in 2021 with the hybrid LPI 800-4, a limited run that divided fans. The Miura marked its sixtieth anniversary in 2026, an occasion celebrated with factory restorations, digital reimaginings and some decidedly pricey merchandise.
Coverage here follows auctions and private sales, factory restorations, restomods and widebody reinterpretations, anniversary celebrations and the stories of famous owners. These two cars remain the reference point for every Lamborghini that followed, and for supercar design as a whole, so expect them to surface whenever a new model from Sant'Agata is unveiled and critics reach for a comparison. Sixty years on, they still look like they arrived from the future, which is perhaps the highest compliment a car designer can receive.
The two cars that defined the supercar: the curvaceous 1966 Miura and the wedge-shaped, scissor-doored Countach, plus their revivals and auction records.
