Kyosho Recommends
What Kyosho recommends to go with the Kyosho 1:12 Lamborghini Miura P400 1968 Red/Gold
Description
The Kyosho 1:12 Lamborghini Miura P400 1968 Red/Gold diecast model, catalogue reference KS08621RBL, is a replica of the 1968 Lamborghini Miura P400 for display. Its red-and-gold finish gives this version a distinctive appearance, while the reduced-scale form retains the recognisable proportions of the full-size car.
The Lamborghini Miura P400 is associated with the design work of Marcello Gandini at Bertone, with Gian Paolo Dallara and Paolo Stanzani among the original engineering team. Its design dates from the period when the transverse mid-mounted V12 was positioned behind the two-seat cabin, an arrangement that influenced the proportions of the vehicle. The model represents the principal external cues of this named version rather than reproducing the mechanical functions of the original car.
Features
The front profile, side silhouette and rear treatment are represented at 1:12 scale, bringing together the key shapes that identify the Miura P400. Wheels, openings and glazing contribute to the appearance of the selected specification. The red-and-gold paintwork distinguishes this release from other references without establishing a separate factory edition or a racing history.
The full-size Lamborghini Miura family had production of 763 cars, while the P400 subset was smaller. That figure relates to the original vehicles and should not be taken as the number of Kyosho replicas produced. The road-going Miura was not part of a major factory racing programme, so this road-car finish should be understood as a representation of the production model rather than a confirmed competition car.

Specifications
Lamborghini Miura P400 1968 Red/Gold The Kyosho model and its origins This Kyosho diecast model is a faithful 1:12-scale replica of the Lamborghini Miura P400 1968 Red/Gold. It captures the distinctive silhouette of the Lamborghini Miura P400. The Red/Gold finish gives this particular replica its visual identity. The catalogue reference for this miniature is KS08621RBL. The history of the full-size vehicle or depicted subject is rooted in 1966. Its design and development are associated with Marcello Gandini at Bertone; the original engineering team included Gian Paolo Dallara and Paolo Stanzani. The original form reflects the technical and cultural priorities of its period. The shape was created for a real driving purpose rather than for the miniature itself. Design and production The most recognisable proportions remain visible at reduced scale. Its front profile establishes the vehicle’s immediate identity. The side silhouette reveals the relationship between cabin and body. The rear treatment completes that recognisable design language. For production context, Lamborghini built 763 Miuras across the main model family; the P400 subset was smaller. That historical figure, where available, concerns the full-size car rather than Kyosho miniatures. A colour or race livery should not automatically be treated as a separately numbered factory edition. The supplied product line does not state how many Kyosho replicas were manufactured. Production and engineering Variant totals can differ from the production figure for the broader model family. This distinction matters when a collector compares closely related versions. The original concept is characterised by a transverse mid-mounted V12 behind the two-seat cabin. Its mechanical layout influenced the body’s overall proportions. The engineering choices reflect the purpose of the full-size vehicle. Changes between road and racing specifications should be understood separately. The miniature preserves the principal external cues of its named version. Wheels, openings and glazing help identify the chosen specification. Engineering and competition The selected paintwork makes this release visually distinct from other references. A miniature is a representation and does not share the mechanical functions of the original. In competition terms, The road-going Miura was not entered in a major factory racing programme. The designation does not itself establish a race entry for this specific road-car finish. A racing success is attributed to the relevant team, driver and full-size car. Related competition derivatives may differ significantly from production examples. The colour alone does not establish that a specific car took part in a race. Where the subject comes from fiction or cinema, its on-screen exploits are not official results. Legacy This separation preserves the historical meaning of the original model. The Lamborghini Miura P400 remains a distinct chapter in its manufacturer’s design history. Its form links the period’s styling to the engineering underneath. The chosen specification gives the collector a more precise version to display. Kyosho presents the subject at 1:12 scale. The replica offers a compact way to appreciate the original design. This Lamborghini Miura P400 1968 Red/Gold miniature highlights the car’s individual appearance. It brings together automotive history and the pleasure of a carefully chosen display model.
