Sant’Agata Bolognese, 5 August 2026 – When Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli watched the first man land on the moon he was just 12, but he knew then he would be an astronaut: it was a defining moment. When the Miura SV was presented in 1971, it was another: the glorious finale to Miura iterations that established the prowess and appeal of the Lamborghini marque.

Nespoli flew 300 days in space during his career. He experienced accelerations of more than 4 gs, speeds above 27,500 kph: machinery and man battling the laws of physics to see the world from a different perspective. “I had total belief,” says Nespoli, “in myself, and that nothing is impossible. You need that belief to achieve. That is what the aerospace industry is built on. A purity of vision and, in the 50s, 60s, 70s, raw engineering. When the Wright brothers flew a few hundred metres in 1903, who imagined flying to the moon 66 years later? We went to the moon because it was difficult, not easy. NASA redefined the boundaries as they went.”
