The Murciélago was the first Lamborghini launched after the company was bought by Audi. Released in 2001, it’s a follow up to the legendary Diablo, and comes with everything you’d expect from a range topping Lamborghini. You get scissor doors, it’s about as wide as a reasonably sized house, lower than a Cozy Coupé, and has a massive V12 in the middle. Unlike its predecessors the Murciélago was an all-wheel drive affair from the off - there was no rear drive variant at all. It mixed Italian design, a truly incredible naturally aspirated V12, and typical Lamborghini wildness with a handy hint of German efficiency. It meant a more modern Lamborghini, something that was decried by a few, but more than likely ended with a better final product.

Over its life, the Murciélago was updated, not only with roadster variants, but with mechanical and aesthetic changes too. After the initial 572bhp 6.2-litre V12 model came the LP 640-4, a 6.5-litre 631bhp 487 lb ft monster. Its name may seem like a random collection of letters and numbers, but it all makes sense once you look at it closely - LP stands for Longitudinale Posteriore (referring to the engine’s orientation, and position), 640 is the car’s metric horsepower rating, and the ‘-4’ denotes the number of driven wheels.
