2005 Lamborghini Murcielago

Styled by Peruvian born Belgian, Luc Donckerwolke, Lamborghini's head of design from 1998 to 2005, the Lamborghini Murciélago was built between 2001 and 2010. Successor to the Diablo and the flagship of the Lamborghini's lineup, the Murciélago was introduced as a coupé in 2001. It was Lamboghini's first new design in eleven years, and was also the brand's first new model under the ownership of German parent company Audi, which is owned by Volkswagen.

The Murciélago is an all-wheel drive, mid-engined super-sports car with an angular design and an exceptionally low slung body, the highest point of the roof being just under 4 feet above the ground. Amongst the vehicle's many distinguishing features are its scissor doors, which add to the dramatic presence of this "what am I looking at, is it a Spaceship?" piece of Italian Automotive Art.

The First-generation Murciélagos, produced between 2001 and 2006, were powered by a Lamborghini V12 that traces its roots back to the company's beginnings in the 1960s. The V12 engine produced 572 hp, and powered the car to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.8 seconds.

The rear differential is integrated with the engine itself, with a viscous coupling centre differential providing drive to the front wheels. The Murciélago suspension uses an independent double-wishbone design, and bodywork features carbon fibre, steel and aluminum parts. The rear spoiler and the active air intakes integrated into the car's shoulders are electro-mechanically controlled, deploying automatically only at high speeds, in an effort to maximize both aerodynamic and cooling efficiency.

This fantastic example was supplied by Lamborghini Geneva, 02/04/2005, and is finished in, surely the best colour combination for a Lamborghini, Giallo with a Black Leather interior with Yellow seat inserts and detailing. The car remained in Switzerland until only recently before making its journey to the UK on the 2nd of April this year.

A well maintained example, the car has recently undergone a service by marque specialists Trident Cars in July 2015.
