About the model:

 

The Lamborghini Murciélago was named after a legendary fighting bull true to Lamborghini traditions. The sharp wedge shape and distinctive scissor doors opening upwards are also well known and much appreciated trade mark of a proper Lamborghini supercar.

 

The technology beneath the surface presented a huge leap ahead for Lamborghini, though: Electronically controlled air intakes behind the doors open automatically depending on engine temperature and cooling requirements. The rear spoiler is also automatic, deploying when the speed increases. Modern aerodynamic styling allowing top speeds of over 330 km/h.

 

The designer, Luc Donckerwolke, used the B-2 stealth bomber, the Wally 118 WallyPower yacht, and architect Santiago Calatrava’s Ciutat de les Arts situated in Les Ciències in Valencia, Spain, as his inspiration for the roadster’s revised rear and bonnet design. The body is made of a mixture of carbon fibre, steel and aluminium.

 

Not least there is the huge 6.2 litre V12-engine, developing 580 horsepower in this pure and early version. As it deploys the power though an efficient four-wheel drive the Murciélago is not only as fast as it looks, but also much more friendly and safe than anyone would guess at first glance of this spectacular machine. As such the Murciélago displays a great blend of modern and traditional Lamborghini virtues, and offer great value for money as well.
