Further Information
October 5th, 1897. A fighting bull named Murcielago takes stage with matador Rafael Molina 'Largertijo' in front of a Spanish crowd. A viscous confrontation ensues. Murcielago takes over 24 spears and manages to continue fighting on. Astonishingly, the animal's life is spared and Murcielago is declared one of the the strongest bulls of all time. It's Murcielago's enduring ferocity that Lamborghini offered with the release of this stunning supercar. Named after the fighting bull, this trapezoid-shaped car lends styling cues from the previous Lamborghini's, with better performance and drivability than ever before. The 6.2 litre V12 engine is an evolution of the Diablo 6.0 power plant highlighting two new variable systems. Both Variable Valve Timing & Variable-Geometry Intake systems aid in engine efficiency and a square power band. The fabulous engine is coupled to a 6-Speed manual transmission, a first for the marque. This particular car has had a very interesting life, with previous owners that include both HR Owen (Lamborghini UK) and Red Bull. With only 23600 km from new the car has been serviced by both Lamborghini London and Manchester. It comes complete with after-market Sat-Nav (with I-Pod connectivity) and 20" chrome alloys and has also had a recent major service with new upgraded clutch fitted at the same time. The Lamborghini is a superlative car. With mechanical structure that requires no gimmickry. The styling reflects this with a shape free of superfluous ornament or embellishment. Pure, simple lines are all that is offered. One of the all-time great Lamborghini, this car is truly one that lives up to its namesake, Murcielago, the strongest fighting bull of all time.
