Miura was the first mid-engined sports car, which would later become the standard for all the cars with similar performance. Announced in 1966, it was the fastest road track car ever made, and it cost about 20 000$ (which would be about 150 000$ in 2017). The production ended in 1973 due to bad financial situation in the company. One was owned by Frank Sinatra. Miles Davis also owned one, which he crashed in October 1972 under the influence of cocaine, breaking both ankles. Eddie Van Halen owns one and can be heard revving it up during the bridge in the song Panama.
Even today, it is considered as one of the most beautiful cars ever made and it is definitely an important piece of automotive history.
