lamborghini murcielago

The Murcielago is the latest version of Lamborghini’s mid-engine V12 powered sports car. The Murcielago was revised for 2007 and the name was changed to Murcielago LP640, with the nomenclature derived from the Italian description of the engine position—longitudinale posteriore—and its power output of 640 horsepower. The Murcielago replaced the Diablo in 2002 as the latest model of the line of mid-engine, V12 sports cars from Lamborghini that began in the 1960s with the Miura, followed in succession by the Countach and the Diablo. Lamborghini's first vehicles were tractors, as company founder Ferrucio Lamborghini filled the acute needs of Italian farmers recovering from World War II. The first Lamborghini sports car was the 350GTV which debuted in 1963. After a number of different owners, the company is now solely owned by Audi AG.
