Lamborghini Miura P400 S Millechiodi

Vehicle Overview

Late that year Lamborghini offered an updated version, the ‘S’, for Spinto or tuned, which appeared at the ’68 Turin Show. The P400 S addressed the original Miura’s shortcomings, principally those of handling, build quality and cockpit comfort. It had new Pirelli tyres and its engine was further improved, with extensive work on the cylinder heads. The factory quoted an additional 20bhp, to 370bhp. Later in production, the P400 S received ventilated brakes. Inside, electric windows replaced wind-ups, the carpets and (optional) leather interior were upgraded, some switchgear was redesigned and there was a passenger grab handle and glovebox lid. Simple air-conditioning was available on the last cars. Most Miuras were still delivered with leatherette (‘Skay’) upholstery. A P400 S can be recognised by its chrome window surrounds and ‘S’badge on the boot. Production of the P400 S ran to 338 examples, from November 1968 to early 1971.
