First Lamborghini Developed Under Audi Ownership – The Murciélago (2001-2010) was the first Lamborghini developed after Audi took over the brand in 1998, leading to improved reliability and build quality.
Named After a Legendary Fighting Bull – The Murciélago is named after a famous Spanish fighting bull that survived 24 sword strikes in an 1879 bullfight, symbolizing strength and resilience.
Powered by a Naturally Aspirated V12 – The Murciélago featured a 6.2L V12 (first-gen) and later a 6.5L V12 (LP640 and LP670-4 SV), delivering up to 670 hp in the most extreme version.
First Lamborghini to Reach 640 hp (LP640 Model) – The LP640 version, introduced in 2006, increased power to 640 hp, improving acceleration and top speed, making it one of the fastest supercars of its time.
Scissor Doors – A Lamborghini Trademark – Like the Countach and Diablo before it, the Murciélago featured signature scissor doors, adding to its dramatic and aggressive styling.
All-Wheel Drive for Better Grip – Unlike many rear-wheel-drive supercars, the Murciélago came standard with Lamborghini’s AWD system, providing better traction and handling at high speeds.
Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster – Open-Top Madness – Lamborghini introduced the Murciélago Roadster in 2004, featuring a removable soft-top, but it was not designed for high speeds, with Lamborghini advising a maximum speed of 160 km/h (99 mph) when the roof was on.
Murciélago LP670-4 SV – The Ultimate Version – The final Murciélago LP670-4 SuperVeloce (SV) produced 670 hp, weighed 100 kg (220 lbs) less than the standard model, and could hit 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds.
One of Lamborghini’s Last Manual Transmission Supercars – Early Murciélagos were available with a 6-speed gated manual transmission, before Lamborghini shifted to the E-Gear automated manual system.
Replaced by the Lamborghini Aventador in 2011 – After nearly 10 years of production, the Murciélago was replaced by the Aventador, featuring an all-new 6.5L V12, more aggressive styling, and advanced technology.
