Engineers Built This Supercar Behind Lamborghini's Back

Описание: At the 1966 Geneva Motor Show, a car stopped the world.

Crowds packed around Lamborghini’s stand, cameras flashed, and headlines crowned a new icon: the world’s first supercar. The car was the Lamborghini Miura—low, radical, and unlike anything that had ever worn a license plate.

But beneath the applause was an uncomfortable truth.

The Miura on display couldn’t even run.

In this documentary, we uncover how Lamborghini achieved instant global fame by unveiling a machine that was unfinished, untested, and quietly dangerous. Built in secret by young engineers working after hours—without formal approval—the Miura was rushed from rebellious prototype to showroom sensation before its flaws were understood.

Early buyers unknowingly became test drivers. Engines overheated. Fuel boiled. Oil starvation caused catastrophic failures. At high speeds, the car generated lift that made it frighteningly unstable. Fires, breakdowns, and crashes followed—yet the legend only grew.

So how did Lamborghini get away with selling it?

This film explores:

The secret after-hours engineering rebellion that created the Miura

Why the car was sold before proper testing was complete

The dangerous flaws hidden beneath its beauty

Celebrity owners, media hype, and how fame protected the myth

How later fixes tried—and failed—to erase the risks

Why collectors now pay millions for a car that nearly destroyed its owners

The Miura didn’t just invent the supercar—it proved the world would forgive almost anything for speed, beauty, and spectacle.

This is the untold story of shortcuts, survival, and the dangerous birth of automotive legend.
