Just three years later, in 1966, \u003cb\u003eLamborghini stunned the automotive establishment with its introduction of the stunning Miura\u003c\/b\u003e, the first mid-engine production car. Rivals at the 1966 Geneva Auto Show could only stare in wonder. Wrapped in a svelte Marcello Gandini-penned body and powered by a 350-horsepower V-12, the Miura instantly made every other sports car look antiquated, including those offered by Lamborghini's Italian rival, Ferrari. It would be two years before Ferrari offered its own mid-engine reply in the form of the 206 Dino GT. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For Lamborghini, there was the time before the Miura and the time after the Miura. It marked a sea change not only for the Sant'Agata manufacturer but for the sports car world broadly. \u003cb\u003eThe Supercar had arrived.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In 1974, Lamborghini again shocked the automotive world with the mad \u003cb\u003eCountach\u003c\/b\u003e (an Italian expression one might utter at the sight of a beautiful woman), another Gandini masterpiece. Wide, low, and purposeful, the Countach completely redefined the supercar template, in the process becoming the poster car of choice for children of all ages the world over. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As Supercars evolved to Hypercars, Audi acquired Lamborghini, giving new life to the firm and unleashing a series of amazing cars from the \u003cb\u003eMurcielago\u003c\/b\u003e to the \u003cb\u003eGallardo\u003c\/b\u003e to the \u003cb\u003eAventador\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eHuracan\u003c\/b\u003e.
