Murcielago

Manual, V12, wedge - what more does one really want?

 

This Murciélago is a first generation European car in the striking colour of Giallo Orion with an interior in the welcoming warmth of Avorio Lillium. And maybe even more importantly - it is a manual. This makes it part of a breed that is soon not to be found any more: A proper manual supercar.

 

Only Two registered owners have cared enthusiatically for the car over its life of 28,500 kilometers and the cars presents beautifully in in original color combination of Giallo Orion over Avorio Lillium

Full big service was done end of March 2019 at 22.694 km, with new tires and new wheels “Hercules”, option in 2004. The car and owner then took part in Lamborghini touring all over Europe in 2019 and had a terrific time. The car comes full complete with all books, pouch, little tools pouch, spare key sets and COC European homologation.

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.
