Sold out
Lamborghini Miura SV Yellow Kyosho 1:18 08317Y Diecast
1 / 11
Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Lamborghini Miura SV recreates the final and most powerful Miura in yellow, with the SV's distinctive eyelash-free headlights and widened rear haunches. Zinc alloy construction gives genuine heft, and opening doors and bonnet reveal a detailed cabin and engine bay. A strong centrepiece for any Bertone-era Italian supercar shelf, priced at Kyosho's usual mid-tier diecast level rather than boutique resin money.

About the Lamborghini Miura SV Yellow Kyosho 1:18

TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast reproduces the Lamborghini Miura SV, the final and most powerful Miura variant, finished in yellow with the SV's wider rear haunches and eyelash-free headlights. Zinc alloy construction and opening panels suit collectors building a Bertone-era Italian supercar shelf at a mid-tier diecast price point.

The Miura SV closed out Lamborghini's first supercar with its most aggressive specification, and Kyosho's diecast keeps faith with that brief. Strip away the yellow paintwork and the details separating an SV from earlier Miura variants are all present, right down to the widened rear track.

Kyosho's Diecast Miura SV in Yellow

Correct SV Details: No Eyelashes, Wider Arches

Lamborghini's final Miura update dropped the chrome eyelash trim that framed the headlights on earlier cars, and Kyosho's tooling reflects that change accurately, giving this yellow example the cleaner, more purposeful nose that defines the SV visually. The rear haunches sit wider too, housing broader rear tyres than the standard Miura wore, and the diecast body captures that flare without looking bolted-on. Vents behind the doors and the reshaped engine cover carry through as well, details that separate a genuine SV tribute from a generic Miura shape wearing SV badging.

Weight, Shut Lines and Paint Under Light

Lift the model from its packaging and the zinc alloy body announces itself immediately, a density that plastic-bodied toys simply cannot match. Door and bonnet shut lines sit tight and even along the wing edges, and the yellow paint holds real depth under direct light rather than looking flat or chalky. Opening doors reveal a cabin trimmed to a standard well above entry-level diecast, and the bonnet lifts to show engine bay detail rather than a blanked-off panel. None of this rivals hand-built resin at the sharpest end of the market, but for diecast at this price it holds up to close inspection.

The Miura SV's Place in Supercar History

Bertone's Wedge and the Final Evolution

Marcello Gandini's design for Bertone gave the Miura a shape still credited with starting the modern supercar template: engine behind the driver, low nose, and proportions built around drama rather than practicality. The SV arrived as the final development of that shape, with a stiffer chassis, more power from the V12, and the wider rear track this model reproduces to accommodate broader tyres. Lamborghini built the SV in far smaller numbers than the standard Miura, and the model's role in the range explains why collectors treat it as the most desirable version of the car that arguably invented the supercar category, ahead of anything Ferrari or Maserati offered at the same moment. Kyosho's choice to tool the SV specifically, rather than a generic Miura shape with different decals, reflects that same collector logic.

Collecting the Miura at 1:18

Shelf Role Among Classic Sports Cars

At roughly 22 centimetres long, the Miura SV sits comfortably among other 1:18 classic sports cars without dominating a shelf the way a modern supercar casting would. It works well paired with contemporary Ferrari or Maserati coupes from the same decade, letting a collector build a mid-century Italian GT run rather than a single showpiece. Kyosho's diecast sits above pocket-money toy cars and below the sealed-resin tier that trades opening features for sharper paint, a fair mid-tier position for a car this significant.

Display, Handling and Long-Term Care

Keep the model out of direct sunlight, since prolonged exposure can dull the yellow finish over years of display, and dust the bodywork with a soft brush rather than a cloth that could mark the paint. Opening the doors and bonnet occasionally keeps the hinges moving freely rather than stiffening in one position. Collectors who also run a 1:43 shelf will notice how much more engine and cabin detail this 1:18 scale can carry; the smaller format suits breadth across a whole model range, while 1:18 suits a handful of cars a collector wants to study closely.
