== Description ==
The Lamborghini Murciélago, named after a famous fighting bull, is a high-performance sports car that was produced by the Italian automaker Lamborghini from 2001 to 2010. During its production run, the Murciélago went through various updates and special editions, making it a highly sought-after and iconic vehicle. The first generation Murciélago, also known as the Murciélago (2001–2006), was equipped with a 6.2-liter V12 engine that produced 571 horsepower and could reach a top speed of 205 miles per hour. It also featured the signature scissor doors and aggressive styling that has become synonymous with the Lamborghini brand. In 2004, the Murciélago Roadster (2004–2006) was introduced, offering drivers the exhilarating experience of open-top driving.
In 2006, the Murciélago went through a major update and was renamed the Murciélago LP 640 (2006–2010). The LP stands for 'Longitudinale Posteriore,' referring to the car's rear longitudinal engine placement. This updated version boasted a more powerful 6.5-liter V12 engine with 632 horsepower and a top speed of 211 miles per hour. Two years later, the Murciélago LP 640 Roadster (2006–2010) was released, featuring the same powerful engine as the coupe but with the added thrill of open-air driving.
In 2009, Lamborghini introduced the limited-edition Murciélago LP 670–4 SuperVeloce (2009–2010) to celebrate the car's 40th anniversary. Only 186 were produced, making it a highly coveted model among collectors. This version had an upgraded engine with 661 horsepower and was able to reach a top speed of 212 miles per hour. It also featured a stripped-down interior for weight savings and a more aggressive exterior design.
Some other notable special edition versions of the Murciélago include the LP 640 Versace, LP 650–4 Roadster, and the LP 670–4 SuperVeloce China Limited Edition (2010). These limited-edition models featured unique exterior and interior designs, as well as upgraded engines for even more impressive performance.
Despite its popularity and success, the Murciélago was not without its issues. In 2006, a safety recall was issued for nearly 1,500 Murciélago models due to potential issues with the fuel tank. Despite this setback, the Murciélago remained a top contender in the supercar world.
The Murciélago also made a name for itself in motorsport, with the R-GT variant competing in the FIA GT Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 2009, the RG-1 and RG-1LM models were released, featuring a 6.5-liter V12 engine with 670 horsepower and improved aerodynamics for ultimate track performance. The LP 670 R-SV was also introduced, competing in the FIA GT Championship and winning its class in the 2010 24 Hours of Spa race.
The legacy of the Murciélago continues to live on, even after its production ended in 2010. The Lamborghini Miura concept, unveiled in 2006, was heavily influenced by the Murciélago and pays tribute to its iconic design. The limited-production Lamborghini Reventón, released in 2008, also took inspiration from the Murciélago with its angular and aggressive styling.
The Lamborghini Murciélago has made appearances in popular culture, including video games such as Need for Speed and movies like the Batman series, where it is the famous superhero's choice of transportation. Rapper Kanye West also famously used a Murciélago in the music video for his hit song 'Mercy.'
