Lamborghini Murcielago (02-10) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 17 January 2008 Last Updated: 27 February 2009 The Lamborghini Murcielago is one of the ultimate supercars that turns heads wherever it goes. Thanks to the scissor doors, colossal V12 engine and stunning looks it has all the ingredients of a typical Lamborghini. But despite the supercar label, the Murcielago is surprisingly easy to live with everyday and not daunting to drive. What is less obvious at first glance is how well built it is. Thanks to Audi's guiding hand - the German company has owned Lamborghini since 1998 - build quality and reliability are vastly superior. It's powered by a 6.2-litre V12 engine with a storming 580bhp while the LP640 version that arrived in 2006 - grew to 6.5-litres and 631bhp. 4.5 out of 5 Other Lamborghini reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4.5 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £170,248 - £242,267 Used price range: £40,050 - £189,970 View all used prices Get a Lamborghini Murcielago (02-10) information pack Next steps Lamborghini Murcielago cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
