Chronology
PredecessorLamborghini Diablo
SuccessorLamborghini Aventador

Aroadstervariant was introduced in 2003, followed by the more powerful and updated LP 640 coupé and roadster and a limited edition LP 650–4 Roadster. The final variation to wear the Murciélago nameplate was the LP 670–4 SuperVeloce, powered by the largest and final evolution of the originalLamborghini V12engine. Production of the Murciélago ended on 5 November 2010, with a total production run of 4,099 cars.[1]Its successor, theAventador,was unveiled at the2011 Geneva Motor Show.[11]

Name

edit

Lamborghini cars are often named afterSpanish Fighting Bulls;the eponymousMurciélagowas a leading sire after surviving an 1879 fight inCórdoba.[12]Murciélagois the Spanish word forbat.In theCastilian Spanishspoken in most of Spain the word is pronounced[muɾˈθjelaɣo],with avoiceless dental fricative[θ](as in Englishthing). However, the Italian automaker often uses the Southern Spanish andLatin American Spanishpronunciation,[muɾˈsjelaɣo],with an[s]sound.

Interior

The Murciélago is anall-wheel drive,mid-enginesports 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 itsscissor doors,a hallmark feature of flagship Lamborghini models since theCountach.The first generation of the Murciélago was produced between 2001 and 2006 and was powered by aLamborghini V12that traces its roots back to the company's beginnings in the 1960s. The rear differential is integrated with the engine itself, with a viscous coupling centre differential transferring power to the front wheels. The total power distribution is 70 percent at the rear and 30 percent at the front. Power is delivered through a 6-speedmanual transmission.The suspension utilised in the car uses an independent double-wishbone design, and the bodywork mostly features carbon fibre except for the steel roof and aluminium scissor doors. The active rear wing and the active air intakes integrated into the car's shoulders are electromechanically controlled, deploying automatically only at high speeds in an effort to maximise both aerodynamic and cooling efficiency. The interior was also made more comfortable and ergonomic than its predecessor sporting a simple and clean look with all the major controls along with the gearshift knob integrated into the central tunnel.

The first generation cars were known simply as Murciélago. The 6,192 cc (6.2 L; 377.9 cu in) naturally aspirated V12 engine installed in the first generation cars generated a maximum power output of 580 PS (572 hp; 427 kW) at 7,500 rpm and 650 N⋅m (479 lb⋅ft) of torque at 5,400 rpm, accelerating the car from a stand still to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 333 km/h (207 mph).[13]Subsequent versions incorporated an Alpha numeric designation to the name Murciélago, which indicated their engine orientation and output. However, the original Murciélago is never referred to as "LP 580".

Murciélago Roadster (2004–2006)

edit
Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster

The concept car of the upcoming open-top variant was presented at the 2003 Detroit Motor Show as the Murciélago Barchetta.[14]The production version called the MurciélagoRoadsterwas introduced in 2004. Primarily designed to be an open-top car, it employed a manually attached soft roof as a cover from adverse weather, but a warning on the windshield header advised the driver not to exceed 100 mph (160 km/h) with the roof in place. The roof which was made of fabric could be folded and fit into a leather bag supplied with the car in order to store it in the front compartment when not in use. The designer,Luc Donckerwolkeused theB-2 stealth bomber,the Wally118 WallyPoweryacht, and architect Santiago Calatrava'sCiutat de Les Arts i Les CiènciesinValencia,Spain as his inspiration for the roadster's revised rear pillars and engine cover. The roadster weighs 29 kg (65 lb) more than the coupé due to the loss of the roof and the addition of chassis reinforcing components. The roadster could accelerate from 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) in 3.8 seconds which is more than the coupé owing to the increased weight while the top speed remained the same as the coupé.[10]

Murciélago LP 640 (2006–2010)

In March 2006, Lamborghini unveiled an updated version of the Murciélago at theGeneva Motor Show:the Murciélago LP 640. The new title incorporated the car's name, along with an Alpha numeric designation which indicated the engine's orientation (Longitudinale Posteriore), and the updated power output. With displacement now increased to 6.5 litres, the engine was rated at 640 PS (471 kW; 631 hp) at 8,000 rpm. The exterior received a noticeable facelift, featuring revised front and rear fascias, and asymmetrical side air intakes, with the left side intake feeding an oil cooler. A new single outlet exhaust system incorporated into the rear diffuser, modified suspension system, revised programming, and upgraded clutch for the 6-speed "e-Gear" automated manual transmission with launch control rounded out the performance modifications. Interior seating was also re-configured in order to provide greater headroom, and a new stereo system formed part of the updated dashboard. Optional equipment included Carbon fibre-reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) ceramic composite brakes, chrome paddle shifters and a glass engine cover. The car's estimated fuel economy for the 6-speed manual variant is 8 miles per U.S. gallon (29 L/100 km; 9.6 mpg‑imp) in the city and 13 miles per U.S. gallon (18 L/100 km; 16 mpg‑imp) on the highway, making it the least efficient car in 2008 for city and highway driving, according to theEPA.[15]

At the2006 Los Angeles Auto Show,Lamborghini announced that the roadster version of the Murciélago would also be updated to LP 640 specifications.[16]One of the most rare of all the LP640 Roadster derivatives in the LP640 in right-hand-drive guise with a manual transmission. A rumoured five of these are said to exist worldwide.

Murciélago LP 670–4 SuperVeloce (2009–2010)

edit

At the2009 Geneva Motor Show,Lamborghini unveiled a high performance variant of the Murciélago, the LP 670–4 SuperVeloce.[17]The SV moniker had previously appeared on theDiablo SV,as well as theMiura SV.The SV variants are more track-oriented than the normal production variants and are usually produced in limited numbers.[18]

The SuperVeloce's 6,496 cc (6.5 L; 396.4 cu in) V12 engine generates a maximum power output 670 PS (493 kW; 661 hp) at 8,000 rpm and 660 N⋅m (487 lb⋅ft) of torque at 6,500 rpm, due to revised valve timing and upgraded intake system. The air intakes were made bigger for better brake cooling and the front spoiler extended much farther for improved downforce. The engine cover was specially designed for the SV and consisted of three hexagonal plexiglass plates supported by a carbon fibre framework. The car's weight was also reduced by 100 kg (220 lb) through the extensive use of carbon fibre inside and out. A new, lighter exhaust system also helps in saving weight. The interior was also trimmed in Alcantara as a weight saving measure. As a result of the extensive weight loss, the SV has a power-to-weight ratio of 429 hp/long ton. The LP 640's optional 15-inch carbon-ceramic disc brakes with 6 piston callipers came as standard equipment with the car. In its June 2009 issue,Car and Drivermagazine estimated that the LP 670–4 SV is capable of accelerating to 96 km/h (60 mph) from a standing start in just 3.0 seconds and on to 161 km/h (100 mph) in 7.2 seconds.[19]Subsequent testing byRoad & Trackrevealed a 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) time of 3.1 seconds and a quarter mile time of 10.9 seconds at 129.4 mph (208.2 km/h).[20]Lamborghini claimed a top speed of 342 km/h (213 mph) when the car is fitted with an optional smaller spoiler, or 337 km/h (209 mph) with the standard Aeropack spoiler.[21]

According toMaurizio Reggiani,head of LamborghiniR&Dat the time, the LP 670–4 SV's steering was tuned for high-speed sensitivity. The original production plan of the ultimate Murciélago was limited to 350 cars. However, an Instagram page known as "@murcielagosv.registry" has been tracking the exact number of LP 670-4s and as of 2023 there have been 261 units found so far. The initial plan of 350 units was scrapped due to the factory requiring to make room for the Aventador's assembly line which is the Murcielago's successor. The chassis numbers of the total cars manufactured do not represent manufacturing order.

Lamborghini Miura concept

edit
Main article:Lamborghini Miura concept
The 2006 Miura concept was based on a Murciélago chassis.

In January 2006, aretro-styledLamborghini Miura concept car, built on a Murciélago chassis, was announced at theMuseum of Television & Radioand promoted at theLos Angeles Auto Show,although the car itself was not present at the show. Subsequently, the Miura concept was officially debuted at theNorth American International Auto Showjust two weeks later. It was the first design penned by Lamborghini's then design chief,Walter de'Silva,and commemorated the 40th anniversary of the 1966 introduction of the originalMiurain Geneva.

Lamborghini president and CEO, Stefan Winkelmann, rejected any possibility of the concept marking the Miura's return to production, however, stating “The Miura was a celebration of our history, but Lamborghini is about the future. Retro design is not what we are here for. So we won’t do the Miura.”[47]
