All Murcielagos come with twin front and side airbags as standard, plus every car has ESP traction control to keep less experienced drivers from provoking the huge power of the engine at the wrong moment. Although not put through the Euro NCAP crash test assessment, the Murcielago has proved to be a strong and safe car when more exuberant owners have crashed their cars.
Lamborghini may have made its premier supercar easier to drive fast and simpler to get in and out of, but there’s no hiding its size. It is so wide that many car parks are off limits, though the electrically raised front suspension can manage speed humps without drama. Most new owners opt for the reversing camera to help with parking. Then there’s the shortage of storage space in the cabin and under the bonnet that means even a weekend away would be a trial.
As for the Roadster’s roof, Lamborghini is clearly aiming this car at people who live where it will never be needed as it’s incredibly complicated and fiddly to attach.
