Bullfighter and bull form symbolic representations in the fighting. This animal-mating antithetical elegance is also a symbiosis of violence and beauty that makes the spectacle of bullfighting particularly attractive.So faithful to the tradition he wants, always, the bull as a symbol of the prestigious car manufacturer founded by Ferruccio Lamborghini - just born under the sign of the bull - the head of Automobili Lamborghini have decided to baptize the last born of a noble family with the name of a bull. And so, after recalling names or bulls that are linked to the bullfights as Miura, Jslero, Urraca, Bravo, Jalpa and Espada (the latter term indicating the sword, that is the weapon of the bullfighter, and traversed the bullfighter himself) it is now a Murcielago - which among other things in Spanish means "bat" - a new name but certainly effective to express the dynamism, elegance and power of a sporting breed which is the last Lamborghini born.

Lamborghini Murcielago LP640
"The Lamborghini Murcielago is a car Coupe 2 places and 2 ports (the latter with the opening now feature" vertical ") based on the typical layout Lamborghini: Central rear V12 engine, transmission according to the outline of the House change of place in front of the engine rear differential and "integrated" in the power plant, permanent wheel drive with viscous center coupling.2003 Lamborghini Murcielago Interior
This layout, strength of the projects Lamborghini for more than three decades, gives an optimal weight distribution (58% and 42% rear front) with obvious positive effects on the characteristics of traction, braking and handling. Even with the suspension (independent articulated quadrilateral) represents the most advantageous for a GT car of high performance and are in line with the Lamborghini tradition. The exterior body panels are carbon fiber, with the exception of the roof and door panels, which are made of steel.In the rear there are two taken active air for cooling the engine system VACS (Variable Air-flow Cooling System ") with a variable aperture section. In addition, to ensure a smooth aerodynamic balance at any speed, the tail was a wing to tilt also varies. Depending on the speed of the car, the rear wing can take three different positions: 0 to 130 km / h closed, between 130 and 220 km / h partially open (50th) and over 220 km / h fully open (70 ° approx).
The exterior mirrors are electrically folding, and arms support and cap of considerable size to allow for "milestones" the rear fenders that are very pronounced, especially taken in open air, but without compromising the stability of the same even at high speeds. The "mission" was to draw a worthy heir to the Lamborghini Diablo: the new car would be exciting, unmistakable, but also safe and ergonomic.
Surely the line Lamborghini Murcielago is linked to the genome of the Lamborghini and its plan will honor the most significant icons formal. In its line are the architecture or, more precisely, the structuring of surfaces and the wedge of the Countach, the sensual tension of the Miura volumes and proportions outside the town of Diablo, with its advanced cockpit.
The Lamborghini Murcielago is characterized in particular from the body of the passenger car: the idea is "a people", made famous by the Countach and Diablo, which puts tension in a single arc from front to rear and stresses thus form a wedge.
The Lamborghini Murcielago is a car superlative, whose mechanical structure does not, nor requires no imagination: its line must reflect this and therefore does not present any superfluous ornamentation, no gadgets. In a word: a pure line. With a strong momentum of athleticism, obtained by reducing the visual changes and amplifying the masses "muscle", situated above and around the wheels. The curves of the body, with their complex tensions, interact and merge into one.
Its silhouette, whose proportions are dictated by strong connotations formal and edges, takes inspiration from the solutions adopted on famous "stealth". The dynamic surface for cooling and downforce and then have originated in the aeronautical field, in which, more than any other, has the function to dictate the form.
