Lamborghini Murcielago Spyder |
|
|
| |
The
Murciélago
sports
a
6.2 L
version
of
the
legendary
Lamborghini
V12
engine,
a
six-speed
manual
or
six-speed
sequential
automatic
transmission,
and
all-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
name
Murciélago
comes
from
a
bull
that
survived
24
sword
strokes
in
an
1879
fight
at
the
arena
of
Cordoba,
and
fought
with
such
passion
and
spirit
that
the
matador
chose
to
spare
its
life,
a
rare
honor.
In
another
Lamborghini
tie-in,
the
bull
was
later
presented
as
a
gift
to
Don
Antonio
Miura,
a
noted
breeder,
and
went
on
to
sire
a
line
of
famous
fighting
bulls.
Murciélago
also
means
bat
in
Spanish,
and
a
Murciélago
roadster
is
featured
briefly
in
the
movie
Batman
Begins.
The
coupé's
base
price
is
US$273,000,
which
is
US$90,000
more
than
its
smaller
sibling,
the
Lamborghini
Gallardo. |
