<p>The boom in supercars has its roots with the Lamborghini Miura. In 1971, the Miura SV (Super Veloce, meaning very fast) was presented at the Geneva Motor Show. With performance to match its name, the SV featured a reinforced body for increased rigidity plus a new design rear suspension with tread widened by 130mm and wide 215/70VR15 tires inside dazzling fenders, to deliver radically improved cornering performance. Other enhancements include removal of the distinctive eyelashes around the headlamps and a newly designed front grille and rear combination lamps. By changing the cam profile and revising the carburetor, output from the 4ℓ V12 engine increased to 385㎰/40.7kg-m, up 15㎰/1.7kg-m from the P400S, while cooling was more efficient with the addition of an air intake for the radiator. Technological advancements such as the oil lubrication system that separated engine and transmission resolved issues such as heat loss and deterioration of shift feel. As the final model of the Miura, the PS400SV embodied the vision and objectives the development team had at the beginning of the design. Although production was discontinued in October 1973, the Miura legacy was inherited by the Countach.</p>

<p>1985 was the first Bathurst run under the new Group A regulations. Johnson had already finished 2nd place in the 1985 ATCC, but was struggling with the endurance rounds. For the Bathurst race he partnered with Larry Perkins, who had recently had a dispute with the HDT team. Of the 51 starters there were only 4 Fords, the lowest turnout since 1966.<br>Johnson had the 6th fastest time in qualifying, and in Hardies Heros he was able to put his Mustang into 3rd for the start of the race.</p> <p>After a frantic start Johnson found himself in 5th place, but by lap 16 the car was already in trouble, splitting an oil cooler. Eight minutes were lost in the pits and he rejoined the race in 36th position. The 3 other Mustangs in the race all retired shortly after with different issues. Johnson fought the car into 12th position and came into the pits for a driver change, but the stop was too quick and a wheel was not secured properly, so Perkins had to nurse back to the pits, rejoining in 18th. Continuing to fight until the flag fell, the Mustang finished in 7th position.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>The model is accurately detailed, the cowl panel features a finely molded vent, twin antennas, bonnet scoop and kill switch.</li> <li>Behind the Mustang wheel rims are slotted disc brakes on all four wheels.</li> <li>The left hand drive Mustang has the interior stripped out with full roll cage.
