The Lamborghini Murciélago is a high performance sports car produced by
Italian automaker Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. and designed by Luc
Donckerwolke. It was introduced in 2001 as the successor to the Diablo.
The Murciélago is a two-door, two-seat coupé. To celebrate the
company's 40 years in operation, 50 special edition Murciélagos were
built during the autumn of 2003. An open-top version called the
Murciélago Roadster was introduced in 2004 for the 2005 model year. The
roadster features similar performance to the coupé with a more
aggressive rear flank, as well as a considerably higher price tag.
The Murciélago sports a 6.2-liter version of the Lamborghini V12
engine, a six-speed manual or six-speed sequential automatic
transmission, and four-wheel drive. It also has a rear spoiler that can
be raised to an angle of 70 degrees, side mirrors that fold in to
improve aerodynamics, and side scoops that automatically open to the
needed size to let in just the right amount of air needed to cool its
engine. The 2008 car's fuel economy is 8 mpg (U.S.) (29 l/100 km) city
and 13 mpg (U.S.) (18 l/100 km) freeway, making it the least efficient
2008 car for city and highway driving, according to the EPA.
The coupé's base price is US $313,000, which is US $107,000 more than its smaller sibling, the Lamborghini Gallardo.
In 2006 the Murciélago's engine was replaced by a stronger 6.5-liter
engine and the car's name was changed to Murciélago LP640. For the 2007
model year Lamborghini did the same with the roadster model, which is
now called Murciélago LP640 Roadster. Both versions received a minor
face lift.
The name Murciélago (pronounced moor-thee-EH-la-goh in traditional
Castilian Spanish and moor-see-EH-la-goh in Spanish of Latin America),
means "bat" in Spanish, comes from a bull that survived 24 sword
strokes in an 1879 fight at the arena of Córdoba, and fought with such
passion and spirit that the matador chose to spare its life, a rare
honor. In another Lamborghini tie-in, the bull was later presented as a
gift to Don Antonio Miura, who was a noted breeder and whose bull ranch
the Lamborghini Miura was named after, and went on to sire a line of
famous fighting bulls.
The LP640 version was first shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March
2006, as a facelift for the coupé version. It features a 6.5 Liter
engine, now producing 472 kW (642 PS/633 bhp), improving performance
substantially. Like the base Murciélago, the engine is mounted
"backwards", with the transmission in front of the engine and the
differential behind it, instead of a transaxle normally seen on
mid-engine cars. There were also a few minor external changes,
primarily to the low air intakes.
The front and rear bumpers have been reshaped to channel air more
efficiently, and the new exhaust has been shaped into the rear diffuser
to minimize aerodynamic lift. The air intake on the left side has been
enlarged to accommodate the feeding of the oil cooler. The car's body
is made up of steel and carbon fiber, while underneath a revised
suspension has been added to keep up with the car's performance. It
also has an all-wheel-drive system that normally distributes 70% of the
torque to the rear wheels, but can allocate up to 100% to either end
depending on where the grip is running out. There are also new 18-inch
(460 mm) Hermera alloy wheels running huge 335/30 tires at the rear.
The LP640 retains the original car's scissor-opening doors. The LP640
coupè U.S. MSRP rests at $318,800.00.
Inside the LP640, the seating has been reshaped to accommodate greater
headroom, while an upgraded instrument panel is flanked by an improved
stereo system.
The LP640's optional equipment includes carbon ceramic brakes for
swifter braking, chrome paddle shifters and a glass engine cover which
shows off the LP640's engine.
A special edition version of the Murciélago LP640 was introduced at the
Paris Motor Show. The Versace edition features a customized all-white
exterior and a matching white interior. However, a one-of-a-kind black
LP640 Versace and LP640 Roadster Versace were also presented by the
factory.
Lamborghini announced the LP640 Roadster version at the 2006 LA Auto Show.
LP stands for Longitudinale Posteriore, referring to the
longitudinally-mounted, 6.5 L V12 engine, capable of producing up to
472 kW (642 PS/633 bhp) at 8000 rpm. Along with a new six-speed manual
transmission, which can come in Lamborghini's optional paddle shift
"E-gear" package, the LP640 can go from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just
3.3 seconds: 0.4 of a second quicker than the previous Murciélago. The
LP640 is accommodated by an electronic Launch control device called
"Thrust."
The new Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 Roadster was presented on the 2006
Los Angeles Autoshow. It features the same engine as the LP640 coupé
and replaces the 6.2 Liter Murciélago Roadster. The only design changes
were oil cooling vents behind the air intakes, interior changes, and a
reinforced body.
Presented at the Paris International Autoshow, the Lamborghini
Murciélago LP640 Versace is a special edition version of the LP640
Coupé, with all the same performance features. The only difference is
the two tone white-black trim, shown on both the exterior and interior
of the car. However, Lamborghini de Spa have also built 1 black LP640
& LP640 Roadster. It also features custom Versace leather seating
and a Gianni Versace logo plaque inside the vehicle.[5] The Versace
material costs $10,000 per seat. Lamborghini have also announced that
they will only produce 20 units of this model.
Spied just recently, the highly rumored, Lamborghini Murciélago SV, is
officially underway. The Murciélago SV (SV referring to Sport Veloce)
drops the Viscous Traction 4WD system in favour of RWD, much like the
Diablo SV. The Murciélago SV is rumored to have 2 available spoiler
sizes, save 100 kg (220 lb), and expecting an extra 40 horsepower over
the Reventon. The Murciélago SV will be the last model for Murciélago
for a few years until the Murciélago's successor is unveiled. The car
is expected to be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show later this year.
In late 2003, Lamborghini announced a special 40th Anniversary Edition
of the Murciélago, following in the footsteps of their Countach and
Diablo Anniversary Editions. The limited production run of 50 vehicles
featured enhancements including a limited-edition body color,
carbon-fiber exterior detailing, upgraded wheels , a new revamped
exhaust system, and a 40th Anniversary numbered plaque displayed along
the side. The interior featured a new leather trim and additional
electronic features.
The Lamborghini Murciélago R-GT is a race-only version of the
Murciélago, developed jointly with Reiter Engineering and Audi Sport.
It has rear-wheel drive unlike the standard Murciélago to comply with
the FIA, ACO, and JAF rules. The car retains the standard Murciélago
V12, but has air restrictors to manage power. Its acceleration and top
speed are highly dependent on the gearing selected for a particular
race track.
In March 2006 at the Super GT Suzuka 500 km, a Murcielago R-GT
specifically built for Super GT (and rebadged RG-1) for the Japanese
Lamborghini Owners Club (JLOC) recorded the first win ever for a
Murcielago when they earned a win in the GT300 class. In March 2007 in
the FIA GT Championship, the All-Inkl.com Racing Murciélago won the
Zhuhai 2 Hours.
In December 2006, Reiter Engineering tested an upgraded Murcielago R-GT
LM, featuring redesigned body work and a new rear wing with less drag.
* Kobe Bryant's wife Vanessa is the only person in
the world to own a converted automatic Murciélago. The car was given to
her as a gift by her husband, but upon realizing she could not drive a
manual transmission, Kobe Bryant had the car converted to
an automatic. The estimated cost of the car after conversion and
customization was US$400,000.
* German tuner Hamann Motorsport produced a one-off
LP640 Roadster with enhanced aerodynamic components, new rear silencer,
new wheels and some interior enhancements.
* In the first season of Bullrun, a game show, Team 10 raced with a Murciélago.
* In the 2005 film Batman Begins, Bruce Wayne drives
a grey Murciélago. In the film's sequel The Dark Knight, he drives a
grey LP640. The Lamborghinis were noted to be an indirect inspiration
for the modern Batmobile as Murciélago is the Spanish word for Bat.
A Lamborghini Miura concept car was presented at the Museum of
Television & Radio on January 5, 2006 alongside the Los Angeles
Auto Show, though it was not present at the show itself. Instead, the
Miura officially debuted at the North American International Auto Show
two weeks later. It was the first design by new Lamborghini chief,
Walter de'Silva, and commemorates the 1966 introduction of the original
Miura in Geneva.
Lamborghini president and CEO Stephan Winkelmann has denied the concept
will return the Miura to production, saying “The Miura was a
celebration of our history, but Lamborghini is about the future. Retro
design is not what we are here for. So we won’t do the Miura.”
Lamborghini's own Reventón is a mid-engined sports car that debuted at
the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show.[8] It will be the most powerful and
expensive Lamborghini to date, costing one million euro. The official
press release states that only 20 will be built, but it is rumoured
that the total number could be 100. The exterior styling was inspired
by the F-22 Raptor. Although the exterior is partially new, almost the
entire mechanics (including the engine) are taken directly from the
Murciélago LP640.
2006 Murcielago Car & Driver first drive review.
Picks: I have
tried
to find some rock pecks on this car and there are *very* few, the seats show light patina from being sat upon,
the
door sill kick plates have minor scuffing from ingress/egress, the
center console buttons show minor wear from fingernails and
normal use,
I have tried to find issues with the car and have had a hard time
- the carpet looks new, no scuffs in the paint or on the
rims, body and interior are in excellent condition, the custom exhaust sounds fantastic, car only has 1 key and remote, does not
have the collapsible cloth emergency top, missing books and owners manuals, nothing
else to reasonably
fault. Car is in excellent
condition inside and out. The full set of photos show the condition, so please request and review them.
