Lamborghini Miura P400 SV

The Lamborghini Miura P400 SV, also known as the Miura SV, was the last and most famous version of the Miura, presented in 1971. It had different cam timing and altered four-by-three-barrel Weber carburettors, which added 15 PS to give 385 PS (283 kilowatts) at 7,850 rpm and a maximum torque of 400 newton metres at 5,750 rpm. The last 96 SV engines had a split sump, so that the gearbox lubrication was separated from the engine and each could use the appropriate oil, which also eased concerns that metal shavings from the gearbox could travel into the engine. The English article also notes a misprint in the owners manual about intake valve size that carried into later Lamborghini manuals.
