Crafted by the legendary Italian manufacturer Lamborghini, The Mu graced the roads from 2001 to 2010, leaving an indelible mark on automotive history. The Murciélago is an all-wheel drive, mid-engine sports car. With an angular design and a low-slung body, the highest point of the roof is just under 4 feet (1.2 m) above the ground. One of the vehicle’s most distinguishing features is its scissor doors, a hallmark feature of flagship Lamborghini models since the Countach.
The Murciélago made its debut as a coupé, marking Lamborghini’s first new design in over a decade. The first generation of the Murciélago was produced between 2001 and 2006 and was powered by a Lamborghini V12 that traces its roots back to the company’s beginnings in the 1960s. The cars were known simply as Murciélago. The 2-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine installed in the first generation cars generated a maximum power output of 572 hp at 7,500 rpm and 650 N⋅m (479 lb⋅ft) of torque at 5,400 rpm, accelerating the car from 0 to 62 mph in 3.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 207 mph. Subsequent versions incorporated an alphanumeric designation to the name Murciélago, which indicated their engine orientation and output. However, the original Murciélago is never referred to as “LP 580”.
Over the years, the Murciélago lineup expanded to include a roadster variant, delivering an exhilarating open-top driving experience. Enhanced versions like the LP 640 coupé and roadster offered increased power and updated features, while the limited edition LP 650-4 Roadster provided exclusivity for discerning enthusiasts. The pinnacle of the Murciélago lineup is the LP 670-4 SuperVeloce. This final variant is powered by the largest and most advanced iteration of the original Lamborghini V12 engine, delivering breathtaking performance and cementing its place in automotive history. Production of the Murciélago ceased in 2010, culminating in a total of 4,099 units. Each car embodies the perfect marriage of Italian craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology, making it a masterpiece on wheels.
