Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster

The Murcielago must surely be a contender for one of the most beautiful super cars ever made, plus  what also sets it apart from a lot of other super cars is that it's powered by a V12. I can't think of any other manufacture that has a mid engine production V12 car. The likes of Ferrari, Aston Martins, Mercedes all got front engine V12 cars.

Less that 900 roadsters where build between 2004 and 2010 as LP 640's and LP 650's. The engine size is 6496 cc developing between 471 kW and 478 kW depending on model. Top speed is 330 km/h with zero to 100 km/h taking around 3.4 seconds. 

This model is from Maisto's Special Edition collection, scale 1:18. What impressed me most was the detail on the underside showing the exhaust, gearbox etc.

What I love about this car: The nose on car is stunning and the back not also not bad to look at.

Nice sleek lines

Nice Interior, note this is a manual shift, no fancy paddle shift.

Those twin exhaust in the centre looks very good

The engine is a typical of a modern day car, lots of plastic hiding the details

Butterfly doors

Nice underside details of the gear box and exhaust piping
