2003 Lamborghini Murcielago Four Wheel Drive review from North America

"The best 4WD exotic performance sports car ever, Canadian winters are a breeze!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

That's the best part, absolutely nothing has gone wrong with this car and I drive it every day. It has no problem starting in the cold Canadian winters, I don't even plug it in (not that I could if I wanted to, Block Heaters were not even an option).

General comments?

The car all in all is a great buy, if you can afford it. I bought it through a performance/exotic car dealer in town who ordered it directly from Lamborghini for me. I got it for just over $400,000.00 as I loaded it up with impressive options.

I recently owned a Ferrari F-50 which was an amazing vehicle, but was very dangerous for my wife in the winter as the 2WD had too much power in the rear and she would often complain about spinning out. So I researched for exotic performance cars which had 4WD and I came across the Murcielago. It has proven well in the Canadian Winters. The Lamborghini 4WD system is completely out of this world and even though it is a very low car, it has never gotten stuck. My neighbor's 4WD 2004 Range Rover even got stuck in the street one morning and I got out with total ease (after helping him, of course).

The engine and transmission are smooth and flawless. The clutch is light and comfortable and very high in quality. The 6.2L engine which produces 580hp gets me to work in a blink of an eye. The six speed manual transmission with the much anticipated overdrive is very energetic and lively. My wife is particularly happy that she does not ever have to shift out of first gear in the town or city and only has to travel in second gear on the highway.

We also have a 2001 Bentley Arnage T. It is great too, but is tricky to drive in the winter and has been 'keyed' 7 times in numerous parking lots (each time repaired) so we choose to leave it at home when shopping now. For some reason, the Lamborghini has never been keyed. The Lamborghini is for sure the better of the two, especially with its amazing sound system and options.
