Lamborghini Murcielago (ランボルギーニ・ムルシエラゴ)

He is a new car for Lamborghini after 12 years absence and
the first car after Lamborghini was aquired by AUDI .

"Murcielago" means a "Bat" in Spanish and
the name was the legendary bull waged a good battle with one matador in 1879.
Naming Lamborghini's car after a legendary bull is their tradition.

As a matter of fact,  This car is the result of the change of
first project started in the early 1990's.

Lamborghini continued the project and
was going to bring out the car in 1999.
Then, His name was not "Murcielago", but "Kant".
At such times, in1998 Lamborghini was aquired by AUDI.

AUDI  had a willing to respect Lamborghini's plan,
but AUDI's parent company, Volkswagen ordered to stop Kant's project.
As a result, the project's car was designed by AUDI Design Center and became Murcielago.

Instead, the manufacturing quality became higher than that of former Lamborghini by the AUDI's proper quality control.
Lamborghini was born again.
It's a little irony story.

By the way, he was often appeared on a little previous screens.
At "BATMAN THE DARK KNIGHT".



He was rode by the hero, Blues Wein.
In the daytime he rides on Murcielago, and at night he rides on Batmobile.

Additonaly, he already rode on him at "BATMAN BEGINS"
(On the movie, Ken Watanabe, a Japanese famous actor, also appeared.)



Furthermore on "Transporter 2", he waged a bold car chase at the climax scene.



In 2005, 5 years after his introduction, he was tweaked and became Murcielago LP640.
His maximum power incleased 60 PS, became 640 PS.
But in 2010, 5 years after, he was the end of life as the architectonics became out of date and limit for his ability.
