The Murciélago was named for a fighting bull that survived twenty-four sword strokes in an 1879 fight at the ‘Coso de los califas’ bullring in Cordoba, Spain. The bull fought with such passion and spirit that the matador chose to spare its life, a rare honor. The bull was later presented as a gift to Don Antonio Miura, a noted local breeder whose Miura fighting bull ranch and Gallardo caste of bulls provided the names for two other Lamborghini cars as well. Murciélago is the Spanish name for a flying mammal, the bat.
For 2006, the Murciélago’s V12 was upgraded to a displacement of 6.5 litres. Second-generation cars are known by the model designation ‘LP640’. The LP640 version was first shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2006 and its price rests at more than $300,000. LP stands for Longitudine Posteriore in Italian, referring to the longitudinally-mounted 6.5L V12 engine. This is an exceptional 1:43rd reproduction of an aggressive and unequalled model!
