2005 Lamborghini Murcielago Review
Fuel Economy
10 mpg
Summary
What Edmunds.com says
Outrageous on so many levels -- power, styling, presence -- the Murcielago remains the ultimate exotic thrill machine.
Pros
Endless V12 power, seductive engine and exhaust noises, confident handling at the limit.
Cons
A bit on the portly side, rock-hard suspension, sexy body lines make for poor visibility, convertible's top is a pain to remove.
What's New for 2005
Open-air thrills are available this year in the form of a new open-top model, and upgraded brakes benefit both versions.

2005 Lamborghini Murcielago 2dr Coupe (6.2L 12cyl 6M)
Review
After owning this car for a few months, I fall in love with it more and more. The looks, raw speed and power are just awesome.
Favorite Features
The exterior is without a doubt the car's best feature. I love the lines of the body, the engine is incredibly powerful and overall performance is more than I could ever expect.
Suggested Improvements
The interior should have more available options. I added carbon fiber pieces to my car and am now very happy with the way it looks, but these options should come from the factory. Also the stock stereo system is unnaceptable in a $300,000 car.

Review
The power and performance of this vehicle is intoxicating. The huge tires and all wheel drive ensures that this car sticks to the ground in every situation. But probably the must understated feature of this car is that it is very easy to drive in everyday situations, and is not only intended for performance car use like prior Lambos. That is the key difference between this car and many other exotics I have driven or owned. I am very, very happy with my purchase.

Review
My gas costs as much as my insurance. But of course it's worth it when you press the gas and your at 60 mph instantly. One problem though, you buy this car to be seen in the only problem is you can't see the people looking at you it's so low! But it is truly the most fantastic car I have ever owned. Let me tell you if your looking for performance this is the car for you.

Review
I do have a Porsche GT3 the Porsche is a super car no doubt about that i think for a 12 cylinder motor it should give a Porsche a whipping but the Lamboghini finds it hard to keep up with the GT3. The car is very nice it feels like you on a Ducati but on 4 wheels thats what I like about the Murcielago..,in total the GT3 is still the demon of super cars...
Favorite Features
Sound of the motor.
Suggested Improvements
Rear design of the car.

Review
Owner of several exotic automobiles including Ferrari, Porsche, Aston Martin. No other vehicle compares to build quality, performance, or all out fun. Dealers are a pleasure to work with and first few services were above satisfaction.
Favorite Features
perfomance based on handling and all out speed.
Suggested Improvements
Hard to think of any improvements needed on this car. Perhaps I would suggest the interior needs some minor improvments with style.
