- Nothing yet, except it has helped me become well acquainted with local law enforement.
- This is the ultimate road going machine.
- With a zero to sixty time of 3.7 seconds, and a top speed in excess of 205 mph, this car will really get you noticed.
- Some of the other cars in my collection are a Mercedes CL 600, a Volkswagen Passat W8, a Bi-turbo, a Jaguar XJR, and a BMW X5 4.6is. All are outstanding vehicles and are highly recommended by me.
- I've done enough bragging for now. If you are actually serious about buying a Murcielago, take one for a spin. Then you'll know what it really means to drive a Lamborghini.
How fast have you gone in this thing!?
It does 205 mph without effortlessly.
Hmm. Your notes are interesting. Can anyone add to them? It's proving hard work trying to find a decent review of this car on the Web. I, in a fit of madness, have ordered one of these. No I can't afford it, but I've remortgaged the house so I can get it.
If anyone is reading this that can add to the experience above, I'd really appreciate it. You can save 100k by getting an older Diablo. Is it really worth that much more, or would a Diablo be good enough?
My best advice to you would be to sell it once it comes. There's no point in doing what you did, and I believe that Lambos require lots of maintenance. As for your other idea, you probably can get a used Diablo in good condition at a better price. If you had to mortgage your house to buy one of these, buying one in the first place wasn't a good idea!
I've heard it is not a real lambo. here in Israel we will not compromise on anything from Volkswagen. they forgot how to produce cars with character since the first golf GTi.
They are not reliable. and it is not so hard to produce a good car with lot of power. but to make it brilliant its something else. this lambo has a bad design also, and it will not survive for long (as the AMAZING Countach).
For example, my old uno70i is much fun to drive than the Ibiza turbo (150hp) with its boring platform.
Correction my friend, but Volkswagen was also acquired by Audi just as Lamborghini. So it is not Volkswagen who is manufacturing Lamborghini cars, but Audi. The current Lambo car is now a combination of German and Italian make.
Have you seen and driven one of these? I have a friend in Japan who got a metallic orange one and I tell you it looks so much better in real life than the pictures.
After test driving it, I assure you my friend that Murci is a real Lamborghini. It
There is a Murcielago in a car showroom near where I live and a Diablo roadster is a common site around the town. Forget the Murcielago and get a Diablo! I have been a Lambo fan since 7 years old (now 36), and have never been disappointed by any Lambo until the Murcielago. The Countach and Diablo have the "WOW!" factor, but the Murcielago is more of "That's nice". Save your money, you won't lose much in performance either.. Anyway, I'm buying an Espada!
I think the Diablo SV looks better than the Murcielago. That's all I know. Maybe the spoiler make it looks nicer...
Don't worry, you'll soon be able to order a spoiler with your Murcielago. As for me, unless a car is really designed to work with a spoiler (like the F40) I don't like them. I think that's exactly what they do: spoil the appearance.
Anyone doubting the greatness of the Murc should download the 'Top Gear' Episode (British TV Show) that reviews it. It actually compares the car to a Pagani Zonda (which actually blew the Murc and Diablo and all other cars away, but that's besides the point).
Top Gear puts to rest any claims that the Murc is not a real Lambo, or an inferior one. It is superior to the Diablo in all aspects, no matter what anyone believes.
I might be mistaken here, but doesn't the merc have an auto-spoiler that pops up at highway speeds?
I have been a Lamborghini fan from the first time I saw a Diablo VT 6.0 at the 2001 Auto Show. It was a bright orange one and I loved it. Then at the 2002 Auto Show, I saw a yellow Murcielago, that car looked COOL in real life.
I think all Lamborghini's have their share of small problems, but they are still GREAT cars to drive.
Oh, and by the way, I am also a car NUT!!!
Jeez... Audi owns Volkswagen??? So Porsche probably owns Audi, AMG owns Mercedes, Mercedes owns Daimler-Chrysler, and I guess "those guys that build the M3 and used to build the M5" own BMW? Get your facts straight.
Porsche does not own Audi or VW, and they don't own Porsche. It's an independant company that works closely with VW/Audi.
I like the Muricelago, I remember seeing a yellow one hurtle past me. However the new Gallardo is slower, but sounds amazing, I managed to stay behind one for 10 minutes last week, its sensational, and in black, with 4wd and audi buld quality it doesn't breakdown like the v12 diablo/muricelago. For sheer wow factor though is diablo roadster, I nearly crashed my car trying to keep up, being followed by 10 other cars also chasing the diablo. the owner looked well pist off.!
