Lamborghini Murciélago LP640
The Lamborghini Murciélago is a high performance sports car produced by Italian automaker Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. and designed by Luc Donckerwolke. It was introduced in 2001 as the successor to the Diablo. The Murciélago is a two-door, two-seat coupé. To celebrate the company’s 40 years in operation, 50 special edition Murciélagos were built during the autumn of 2003. An open-top version called the Murciélago Roadster was introduced in 2004 for the 2005 model year. The roadster features similar performance to the coupé with a more aggressive rear flank, as well as a considerably higher price tag.
The Murciélago sports a 6.2-litre version of the Lamborghini V12 engine, a six-speed manual or 6-speed sequential automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive. It also has a rear spoiler that can be raised to an angle of 70 degrees, side mirrors that fold in to improve aerodynamics, and side scoops that automatically open to the needed size to let in just the right amount of air needed to cool its engine. The 2008 car’s estimated fuel economy for the 6-speed manual is 8 miles per US gallon (29 L/100 km; 9.6 mpg-imp) city and 13 miles per US gallon (18 L/100 km; 16 mpg-imp) freeway, making it the least efficient 2008 car for city and highway driving, according to the EPA.

Now your talking, I like this colour

Apparently there were only 2 made in this colour and the other starred in the new Batman movie. Thanks David

Fantastic shot of a great car Steve. the dramatic sky’s particularly effective.
I was privileged (sp?) to join a bunch of Lambos over the weekend in a TVR club run through Wiltshire – what a noise! :-)
Steve Liptrot replied
Thanks Paul. Was tempted to remove the background steps, but thought it would end up too messy

It may be the least efficient, but I’d be willing to fill it up at least once! Gray on Gray…you wouldn’t expect it to work, but you made it stand out! Nice job!

You don’t get very far from a tank full! Thanks Bill
