2006 Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster manual

Yesterday's Gandini offering, the Qvale Mangusta, didn't go over too well with the readership.  While today's car isn't a Gandini design, it bears quite some resemblance to prior Lamborghinis penned by Sr. Gandini.  The Murciélago's designer, Luc Donckerwolke, made his Lamborghini debut on the update of the Gandini Diablo following Audi's purchase of Lamborghini.  We think he succeeded Gandini quite well, and offer today's Murciélago as a palette cleanser for readers who didn't take well to the Mangusta yesterday.

Early Murciélago Roadsters were equipped with the same 572hp 6.2L V12 as in the Coupes, with the engine tracing its origins to the original 3.5L quad cam 60 degree V12 designed by Giotto Bizzarrini at the inception of the Lamborghini brand.  We aren't so sure the AWD is necessary in a roadster such as this, but perhaps the 572hp have their own opinion.

We are pleasantly surprised by how well the mostly leather interior of this example has held up, though maybe we shouldn't be considering the low mileage.  The update to later LP-640 Hermera wheels is subtle, and fits the design better than, say, the LP-560 front-end conversions that we tend to see on early Gallardos.

Enthusiasts often yearn for the simple, pure sports cars and supercars of yesteryear - supercars such as this beautiful blue Murciélago.  From the gated shifter 6-speed manual transmission, to the austere interior, to the unadorned yet striking exterior, we're having trouble finding fault with today's offering.  The rare exterior color certainly pairs well with the two-tone interior.  In this price range, there are numerous race-inspired new offerings from the usual suspects, but we aren't so sure that the fast, sporty, comfortable roadster exists in the marketplace.  For that, only something like this low-mileage Murciélago will get the job done.
