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 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.
