The 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago LP650-4 Roadster available here is a rare gem, being the 49th car of a limited series of only 50. Much like the legendary Spanish bull from which it derives its name, this supercar embodies strength, power, and striking beauty. Its design and engineering are a testament to the commitment of the Lamborghini brand to create automobiles that surpᴀss all expectations.
Successor to the Countach and Diablo, it introduced a new level of design and performance surpᴀssing both, with a broad-shouldered body of pronounced girth that nonetheless was designed to slice through the air with ease thanks to moveable flaps that direct current where it is most needed to maximize both cooling and aerodynamic trim. After introducing several special coupe and roadster variants, in 2009, Lamborghini released this LP650-4 Roadster in a limited edition of just 50 cars, all finished in a distinctive gray-over-orange livery—Grigio Telesto and Arancio in the Italian literature—that was repeated in the cockpit.
Built on a high-strength alloy tube chᴀssis, the LP650-4 Roadster uses all-independent double-wishbone front and rear suspension, power rack-and-pinion steering and 4-wheel power carbon-ceramic disc brakes with orange 6-piston calipers clamping down on ventilated discs behind 18-inch aluminum black-gloss wheels wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero rubber. Like the Diablo and subsequent Murciélago models, the LP650-4 is driven at all four wheels by the mid-mounted all-aluminum 6.5L DOHC V-12 engine beneath a glᴀss canopy, generating 650 HP through the magic of multi-port fuel injection fed by a variable geometry air-intake system, dry-sump lubrication and variable valve timing.
With a distinctive roar that can be felt and heard by its occupants, the V-12 cranks its torque through Lamborghini’s stout E-Gear transmission. This highly exclusive LP650-4’s distinctive cockpit features Nero Perseus leather, orange sтιтching and accents, Alcantara seat and panel inserts and black piano-type trim, and controls for front-end lift and Kenwood audio systems.
