Spy Shot: Lamborghini Murcielago facelift

[Kip_6666]

With the Murcielago's smaller brother, the Gallardo, pushing 500bhp and
risking treading on the 580bhp Murcielago's toes, expect this revised
version to be even faster, after it undergoes its biggest raft of changes
since its introduction in 2001.

Minor alterations for the 2005 model year have already been introduced,
such as improved brakes and lightly tweaked damping, but these revisions
should take the scissor-doored, V12 coup? to another level.

meh

i'd still take the gallardo

I wonder if they plan to go after the Enzo.

 

[matt_shaw]

i highly dought it. it might have the power but it still probably weighs a million pounds

 

[AutoMX]

it's a much more drivable car, and the fact remains that lambo cater to the $250k range usually, and not the $700k range.

i dont see the facelift, body is the same

please tell me when supercars were meant to be "drivable" haha

:lol:

Hard to say ... direct an Enzo.
I always look at it more as a competitor to Vanquish, Maranello, CL65, etc's competitor.

While it won't be an Enzo/Carrera GT and more a GrandTouring (hence rather drivable) supercar.

I mean ... Clarkson drove the 612 across Europe and complement it as a very comfortable car to drive. So it is drivable. Doing the trip in an Enzo would probably be too harsh. And it should have plenty of torque and manner to drive inner city and in traffic jams.

looks cool but i hate the wheels =\

Notice they are different from front to back?

 

[andyhui01]

what are the exterior changes so far?... I don't really see much difference

 

[PlagueWielder]

Good, they should leave it like it is right now.

Just get rid of those wheels

 

[nutty]

You cant call it a more "drivable" car, the bloody thing takes up 2 lanes its that big

 

[zeroSignal]

I don't see any changes either, and I kinda like those rims.

But I can certainly see where they're coming from - the Murc undersells the Gallardo at least 1 to 5 - so they need to make it stand out a bit more.

I love the Murc. Easily the best-looking supercar at the moment.

looks like pure shit to me

 

[Wooptidoop]

wow, I almost didn't recognize it.

 

[jasonchiu]

changes are probz under the black covers...isnt that a bit obvious?

You'd think so , yes...

 

[bobber69]

It's got 2 spoilers at each side in the front bumper. The middle of the front bumper has been raised, like formula 1. It looks like it's got a little wing coming up at the back, and the back bumper looks a bit changed , like the ones on countach and on the diablo...
That's what my brother and I can make out so far.

 

[jasonchiu]

o yeah i can see the side cannels on the front bumper now. the back wing looks like the type which raises at certain speeds, was that on the old one?

 

[clem]

looks like pure shit to me

huh ?!!!

and what sort of car do you drive ?
mclaren f1, pagani Zonda, or maybe one those MC 12

this car is awesome
better looking car than the Diablo or other corvettes...
