Mmmm, Forbes.com previews the Lambo Murciélago.

What an amazing vehicle. A great successor to the legendary Diablo. Some specs: Supercars.net.

Preview here: Forbes.com.

An excerpt from the preview:

<< By the way, the sound of the engine during higher revs rises in force and tone from a throat-clearing rasp at 2,500 rpm under full gas to an all-out howl by 4,500 rpm, beyond which we're in Formula 1 territory as far as crescendos are concerned. And we found that the easiest way to get people out of the left lane was to just crawl up in sixth gear at maybe a few thousand rpm and quickly drop the car into second or third, tapping the gas mildly, for effect. Who needs a horn? >>

😀 🙂

I. WANT. ONE.

I love this car. This is the first new Lamborghini since the Miura that I would call elegant, and to me its lines are much cleaner and more attractive than the admittedly much scarier-looking Countach (still the most menacing car ever built IMO) or Diablo. Rowr!

I agree, this car is the cat's ass....for a Lamborghini. Compared to other supercars, there's something about Lambos that make them look so "fat" and totally uncompetitive though.
 


<< It looks bloated and ugly. Looks like an overgrown cockroach >>



WTF???? Where do you get that from?? The Murc is a BEAUTIFUL car with clean lines!

It's not an overgrown cockroach..it looks nothing like one! A 996 is closer looking to an insect than a Murc!
 


<< Lambo Murci&eacute;lago


Wasnt that the black guy in Star Wars? >>

It is not as elegent as a Ferrari (which it competes with). It's just big/overgrown like the fugly Diablo. It's wider than Julia Robert's mouth and the back end is hideous. Give me a 575M please.

??? As compared to what - your beloved Toyotas? Are you going to follow up by pointing out that "Americans don't want 12-cylinder exotic sports cars - they want reliable family transportation like Camrys and Tauruses"?

I, too, generally prefer Ferraris to Lambos, but this is most assuredly a more elegant design than any number of modern Ferraris (e.g., Testarossa/512 TR, 348, F50, F60 as near as we can tell).

WTF does a Toyota have to do with anything? I compared the Murcielago to Ferrari (specifically the 575M).

Geez, someone makes a comment about a car that none of us here can afford and you all think someone smacked your mom 😀
 
Gorgeous car...simply gorgeous - I don't think I've ever seen a car with more clean and purposeful lines....and it manages to looks so powerful at the same time 😀

I believe you summed it up perfectly.

Exactly! Its looks menacing from any angle.

Also, I liked the way the review was written by the Forbes ppl..pretty entertaining..wish they went' more indept on the car's dynamics.

I thought NFS4 would like this car since the interior was done by Audi =)

NFS4, buddy I will for once differ on this opinion of yours. This Lambo is just too good. Super sweet car. OK, it might not be as menacing as the earlier ones. but it is a heck lot imposing...

As about the Ferrari's , have you look at the upcoming F60 ? That crap, POS looks like GM and Honda were given the charge to design it. :disgust:
The Lambo simply rules over it...

Darn I wish I had money to buy one... but then who wouldn't 😀😀

I've already given my thoughts on the F60...looks like crap🙂

The only good looking Lambo in my books is the beautiful Miura.
