About the Lamborghini Miura P400 Black Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 Lamborghini Miura P400 Black reproduces the 1966 Bertone-styled original, widely credited as the first true supercar. Cast as a sealed one-piece diecast body, the black finish lets Gandini's revolutionary mid-engine profile read cleanly at a compact scale built for a full Lamborghini chronology.

Before Lamborghini built a reputation on outrageous styling, it built the Miura, the car credited with inventing the modern supercar formula outright. Minichamps' 1:43 model renders Marcello Gandini's 1966 design in a compact, sealed-body diecast, suited to anchoring a full Lamborghini generation on one shelf.

The Miura P400 and the Birth of the Supercar

A Transverse V12 Behind the Cabin

Lamborghini unveiled the Miura in 1966, and the car rewrote the rules for what a road-going performance car could be. Engineers Gian Paolo Dallara and Paolo Stanzani mounted the V12 transversely behind the cabin, a configuration no road car had used before, chasing the low centre of gravity and weight distribution that racing cars already understood but road cars had never attempted at this level of ambition.

Gandini's Bertone Body and a Foundational Shape

Marcello Gandini, working at Bertone, wrapped that engineering in a body so low and dramatic that it made every contemporary sports car look conservative by comparison, with the slatted engine cover and eyelash-trimmed headlights becoming instantly recognisable design signatures. The combination of mid-engine layout and a body built purely to express it is why the Miura is so often credited as the first genuine supercar. Minichamps' 1:43 model holds the proportions that made the Miura so startling in period, the foundational piece everything else in the marque's history builds from.

Minichamps' Sealed-Body Precision at 1:43

A Flowing Silhouette Left Unbroken

Minichamps builds this Miura as a sealed one-piece body, with doors and the rear engine cover fixed rather than hinged. On a car whose entire visual identity depends on an unbroken, flowing silhouette, that construction choice plays directly to the subject's strengths: the shut lines run as single, consistent grooves, and the low, curved roofline reads exactly as continuous as Gandini's original design intended.

Black Gloss and the Slatted Engine Cover

Black is a demanding colour to cast well, since it shows every surface irregularity under direct light, and here the gloss sits even across the long bonnet and sweeping rear haunches without the dullness cheaper tooling can leave behind. Zinc alloy construction gives the piece real density for its compact 1:43 footprint. The slatted engine cover louvres are picked out with enough definition to read clearly at this scale, and the eyelash detailing around the headlights separates a faithful Miura from a generic 1960s coupe.

Bookending a Lamborghini Shelf from Miura to Gallardo

From V12 Pioneer to Modern V10 Coupe

Set beside a modern Gallardo from the same manufacturer's 1:43 range, the Miura shows just how far Lamborghini's engineering travelled across four decades, from a hand-built V12 pioneer to a four-wheel-drive, Audi-era V10 coupe built for daily use. The black finish here gives the Miura a serious, understated presence distinct from the brighter liveries the model is often shown in. For a Supercars display built around genuine engineering milestones, the Miura is the piece every other Lamborghini on the shelf ultimately answers to.
