Side intake louvers located on the door to the rear of the passenger and driver's windows. They were functional and fed air to the engine intake. As a styling cue they were representative of the superb detail and design work from Bertone, the carrozzeria (coach builder) to whom credit for the shape of the Miura belongs.

A set of six louvers covers the engine compartment and is a Miura trademark. The louvers are all that seperate the Miura's engine, including the glorious sounds it produces, from the outside world. A sheet of plexiglass was first used on the prototypes but was replaced by the louvers which allowed engine heat to escape.
