Description
The Kyosho 1:18 Lamborghini Miura P400 1968 Red-Gold diecast model, part KS08314R, represents the named 1968 Lamborghini sports car at reduced scale. Its red and gold finish gives the miniature its specific appearance, while the body shape retains the recognisable proportions and silhouette associated with the Lamborghini Miura P400.
About the Subject
The full-size Miura has its origins in 1966, with design and development associated with Marcello Gandini at Bertone. Gian Paolo Dallara and Paolo Stanzani were also part of the original engineering team. The car’s transverse mid-mounted V12 was positioned behind the two-seat cabin, an arrangement that influenced the proportions of the body and helped define the character of the original vehicle.
This Kyosho replica focuses on the external cues of the named road-car version. The front profile, side outline and rear treatment work together to identify the Miura, while the wheels, openings and glazing help convey its specification at 1:18 scale. As a diecast model, it is a representation for display and does not reproduce the mechanical functions of the full-size car.
Historical Context
Lamborghini built 763 Miuras across the main model family, with the P400 forming a smaller subset. That figure applies to the original full-size vehicles rather than Kyosho miniatures. The road-going Miura was not part of a major factory racing programme, and the red and gold finish should not by itself be treated as evidence of a particular competition car or race entry.
The Lamborghini Miura P400 remains a notable part of Lamborghini’s design history, linking the styling of its period with the engineering layout beneath it. This miniature presents that 1968 subject in a compact display format, with the selected colour treatment and body details distinguishing it from other Miura references.

Specifications
Lamborghini Miura P400 1968 Red-Gold The Kyosho model and its origins This Kyosho diecast model is a faithful 1:18-scale replica of the Lamborghini Miura P400 1968 Red-Gold. It captures the distinctive silhouette of the Lamborghini Miura P400. Its paint and markings give this particular replica its visual identity. The catalogue reference for this miniature is KS08314R. 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 1:18 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.
