Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Review

Lets review the Lamborghini Murcielago:


Are you ready for a Super Car that can Rock An Roll? Do you want to feel the wind in your hair? If so than I have the perfect Super Car For you!

The first Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster was released in the 2005 Murcielago line up, but the latest version the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster that is capable of going from 0 to 60 in about 3.4 seconds is the one we are concerned about. This enhanced version of the Murcielago Roadster was first released in the 2007 model. It almost looks pretty much like the coupe version of the Murcielago except for the addition of cooling vents behind the air intakes, and a retractable canvas roof.

The Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster exterior also features the wonderful scissor doors, side air scoops that automatically open up at speed, a rear spoiler that can be adjusted to an angle of 70 degrees, folding side mirrors for increased aerodynamics, and electronic Launch Control are also included. Inside the interior has been changed just slightly from the standard coupe, and the body structure has also been reinforced to compensate for a lack of a solid roof panel.

Hiding under the hood of the mid engine Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster you will find an awesome 631 horsepower, 487 pound-feet of torque 6.5-liter V12 engine that greatly improves the performance of the original Murcielago Roadster. When all of the horsepower of this 6.5 liter V12 is let loose, the six-speed manual or six-speed automated manual transmission connecting to the standard all-wheel-drive does it's best to keep the power to the ground.

The LP640 Roadster does not have too many competitors in its class. The Mercedes-Benz SLR Roadster might be considered a competitor to the LP640 Roadster, but it costs nearly $150,000 more. Ferrari unfortunately doesn't sell any roadsters with any where near the kind of power that the Mercielago LP640 produces, and Aston Martin's DB9 Volante also has considerably less horsepower, almost 200 less horsepower. This kind of places the LP640 Roadster pretty much in a class of it's own.

Review of The Lamborghini Gallardo

Lamborghini Gallardo Review:






The Lamborghini Gallardo was named after a line of famous bulls. After the takeover of the company by Audi the cars were still high performance cars but now they were user friendly. The cost of the car is around the same as 18 Honda Jazz's but if you are wanting to know how much this car is then this car is probably not for you.

It has Audi's switch gear and all grouped logically together. It has 6 speed transmission paddle shift similar to the ones in Maserati's and Ferrari's. The body shape is more chiselled and more defined. Overall it is a much more practical car than it's Lamborghini predecessors. It even has normal doors. If you wanted to you could use this car as an everyday car.

The car is 4 wheel drive and it needs it to be as there is so much power it needs to ensure all 4 wheels are glued to the floor.

When you take the car on the track your first thought maybe to get the traction control off but you can really drive this with all the control aids on and still have a great time. It provides blistering performance as well as great handling, a 5 litre V10 engine and very grippy brakes.

There is also a convertible version called the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder and this really brings the lunacy back. The Gallardo was a high performance car but it was practical and sensible. This version is still practical and is meant to be quiet at low speeds.

The History of Lamborghini

The Lamborghini...




Lamborghini cars are much-loved by car aficionados around the world. They have excellent performance in terms of speed and built with style. The main characteristics of a Lamborghini cars are its tremendous style and tremendous speed. They are the number one rival of Ferrari. And if you happen to live in Beverly Hills you will likely see a scissor-door Lamborghini at malls , drive thrus and coffee shops. These kind of vehicles are designed exclusively for some customers.

The founder of Lamborghini, Ferruccio Lamborghini, who served with the Air Force mechanics corps with Italy during the World War II. And he was good in working with engines. When World War II was over there was a shortage of tractors. Lamborghini grabbed the opportunity and he bought military machines that were a surplus and changed them to tractors. It was a brilliant idea and his move resulted in a thriving business career as a young entrepreneur. And it made him a very wealthy man very quickly.

The tractor business of Lamborghini became more successful during 1950 and they expanded to heater and air conditioning business and was even a more flourishing business. Lamborghini was a car lover and he had a lot of sports car that were considered the best at that time. And because of his frustration of Ferrari cars he built a car that was more better from the Ferraris. He built a state of the art automotive factory in the small village of Sant'Agata. And his automotive engineer was Giotto Bizzarrini who worked with Ferrari before. The tractor business also faced hard times during the early 70's that led Lamborghini to sell his controlling interest of Automobili Lamborghini SpA to a Swiss industrialist. When the oil crisis came his problems worsened and led him to sell his shares that were left. But after ten years Lamborghini declared bankruptcy because the development of the military truck style Cheetah were not selling well.

But on 1980 the company rose back and the reason for this was the introduction and popularity of Countach. It is an over the top, fully styled with angles and vents sports car. In 1987 the Lamborghini was sold to Chrysler. There was also another change of ownership in 1994.

Lamborghini has already produced models like the four-seater Espada and other V8 sports cars. And cars such as the Countach and the Diablo are always recognized as Lamborghini cars. And the rest, they say, is Lamborghini history.
