2009 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster Review
The Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, named for a legendary fighting bull, is an Italian high-performance exotic super car. Its characteristic scissor doors open upwards in signature Lamborghini style.

2010 Lamborghini Murcielago LP 650-4 Roadster Review
Knowing that Lamborghini can squeeze an extra 29 hp from its 6.5-liter V-12 for the lightweight, limited-edition LP670-4 SuperVeloce, it’s not surprising that the Italian automaker can give its flagship Murciélago a milder upgrade to keep its customers hungry. The new LP650-4 roadster has been granted such a promotion, gaining nine additional horsepower for a total of 641. Torque output will remain the same, though, at 487 lb-ft.

Lamborghini Estoque Concept Review
As it turns out, Lamborghini and Porsche have more in common than just their teaser methods—both have issued closely cropped photos of upcoming cars—with the Italians now having unveiled their all-new four-door “coupe” concept vehicle, the Estoque, at the 2008 Paris Auto Show.
While we were hoping this was to be the long-rumored four-seat Espada, we must admit it’s an interesting translation of the four-door coupe theme. Although the Estoque is decidedly...

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera Review
I wanted to tell you about the aeronautical tradition of superleggera (super-light) construction; of aluminium lovingly formed over gun-cotton-wrapped, small-diameter steel tubes.
But down in the pit lane of the Monteblanco circuit near Seville in Spain, an engine whirrs on its starter, catches and shimmers the air with its singular, uneven warble. Your eyes dart over the window.
I’m trying to tell you how Touring of Milan brought superleggera...
