Lamborghini Murcielago

When we look back at the past, we'll be amazed on how time had changed us. From A to B, good to bad, bad to worst, etc... Now, Lamborghini is a name that needs no introduction, where the marque had left trails all over the world with its monstrous V12. The Raging bull is indeed a marvel of today's automotive engineering. But who in the world would have thought that Mr. Ferruccio Lamborghini first started off as someone who makes...tractors. Yes, you heard me. Tractors. From tractors to supercars. From clients at first are farmers to wealthy, filthily-rich middle-east oil tycoons and others in the same pay grade. Now that's a change that I REALLY wanted to see em happening. Let's take a look on one of Lamborghini's exquisite and impressive engineering under the name of speed, the Murcielago.

Watcha lookin' at, punk?



These trumpets will play a different kind of orchestra, at a different stage

Powered by a 6.2L V12, this supercar tears the tarmac from 0-100kmh in 3.8 seconds. Of course, by having 572hp in your disposal,such speeds are no longer impossible to achieve. And the speeds are not only contributed by the big, hulking engine. The aerodynamics and the materials used to make the body (carbon fiber, and other lightweight materials) helps by not bogging down this bull with unnecessary weight to carry around.

Aggressive lines and air intakes that resembles a jet fighter.

Owning one of these requires you to clean em everyday to avoid bees from nesting up the honeycomb.

And since it is effingly quick, carbon ceramic brakes are installed, to ensure that you will be at the edge of the cliff, and not in it. And besides, that is only the few materials that could stand the punishing speed and acceleration of the raging bull.

Braking hard while doing 300km/h will cause your eyes to pop out from the sockets.



Going to hyperspace in 3....2....1....

Well, of course, to own one of these, you need to be a multi-million dollar businessman with a rock-hard (or adamantium-hard if I may exaggerate) financial stand as you'll need around RM 1.5 mil just to own it. And that does not include the road tax (found out that it could cost around RM 16k per year), fuel (29L per 100km,yikes!), maintenance,blah3... And the list could go on and on and on... Whatever it is, it sure is a marvel that Mr. Lamborghini had changed his tastes from building tractors to supercars, or else we will be missing something that is totally out of this world. And besides, as a personal note, i'm kinda tired associating the horse as an icon of speed. Seeing the bull, is quite something else, isn't it?
