 Sant\u2019Agata Bolognese’ Lamborghini initially released  Murci\u00e9lago<\/a> in 2001. It came to replace the brand\u2019s previous flagship, the Diablo. Reads the  legend that Murci\u00e9lago was the name of a fighting bull that survived 24  sword strokes in an 1879 fight against Rafael \u201cEl Lagartijo\u201d<\/em>  Molina S\u00e1nchez, in Cordoba, Spain. For this reason Lamborghini named the car as a  homage to the magnificent bull. The Murci\u00e9lago is a mid-engine all-wheel drive sports car powered by a 6.2 liter V12<\/a>. The engine delivered 572 hp, consequently allowing a 0 to 100 km\/h in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 330 km\/h.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Murci\u00e9lago made a lot of splashes in the press, and with the successful sales, in 2002 Lamborghini started working on a roadster version of the car.  In March of 2003, at the Detroit Auto Show, the Murci\u00e9lago Concept  came to public. Designed by Luc Donckerwolke, head of Lamborghini Design. It was an open-top Murci\u00e9lago, but at the time wasn\u2019t called a  roadster yet. According to Lamborghini, the new car would have the same drive train as the production Murci\u00e9lago, and deliver the same performance, but with the driver\u2019s hair in the wind. The Murci\u00e9lago Concept was a success, hence the roadster entered production in 2004. By the end of the production run in 2010, 899 units came out of the factory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the S143 Forum<\/a> car\u2026 For me, this is a quite special model. First, of course, because  it\u2019s a VERY exclusive model, the rarest that I have in my collection.  But way more important of all, it\u2019s special because it was a gift from my buddy Jeff. I know that gent for well over 12 or 13 years now, from way back  to my 1:18 days. And one of the things that defines him is his big heart. So yesterday, totally out of the blue, a package arrives for me, and when I open it, I see this gem.  The model is VERY well detailed, without a doubt one of the best that I have in the Garage, and with posable wheels! AUTOart did a fantastic job on the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Murci\u00e9lago
The number on the bonnet is from S143’s numbering system for their forum cars.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
I think it looks great on the base, so much that as a result I’ll display it like that. And as you can see, I\u2019ve made different shots from what you normally see here. It\u2019s an important model with a very personal value to me, so I decided to make the photos more personal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Murci\u00e9lago
Much more than a model.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Jeff, you truly honor me, and I just can\u2019t express how grateful I am \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PS: The Lambo was not the only car in the box. That rascal added more stuff, stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
