Lamborghini Murcilago LP640 Roadster Gets Road Tested

Posted in : Lamborghini, New Launches

The New Sporty Roadster - Lamborghini Murciélago LP640

Features:
Make: Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster
Model: LP640
Origin: Los Angeles, USA
Price: £212,000
Availability: now available
Major Rivals: Pagani Zonda Roadster F, Bentley Azure, Spyker C12 Spyder

Characteristics:
Outrageous, completely impractical and more attention grabbing than running through Trafalgar Square clothed entirely in £50 notes. We love it.
Pros: Spectacular looks, sensational performance, surprisingly benign to drive
Cons: Massive price. You’ll always be afraid to take it anywhere nor would you carry valuable stuff with you.

Other Features

The rear window is fixed, as are the side buttresses. From a low-enough angle, it's hard to tell whether you've got the coupe or the roadster. As a result, the Roadster is more like the Murciélago coupe with the roof panel chopped out – and a hunk of canvas shoved in the trunk in the front of the car. In fact, this model of Lamborghini will fly off at over 160 km/h anywhere.

Performance  & Handling

With the rear-biased torque distribution, it is still possible to hang the tail out if you're talented. But you’ll have to keep in mind that there is no directional stability control on this car. Prance out there on the edge of adhesion and you will be prancing solo.
No toddling around LA freeway traffic and letting the car shift for itself here. Also that the eGear steering column paddles works perfectly well. It is actually the Sport model which makes the shifts faster gets the liking of all sport lovers. Besides the revised suspension makes the car all the more  comfortable. The sports seats are thinly-padded, so your bumps will appreciate the frequent re-fuelling stops.
