At first, Lamborghini was successful, especially due to the Miura supercar, that provided the brand with worldwide acclaim. But the very first model produced was not the Miura, as many would think, it was the less glamorous, but more comfortable, 350 GT.

It was followed by the 400 GT, an evolution of the original. The Miura came in 1966 and it established the rear mid-engine, rear wheel drive as the standard layout for high-performance cars of the era.
