2010 Murcielago LP 650-4 Roadster Like or Dislike?
2010 Lamborghini Murcielago LP 650-4 Roadster
Drivetrain
Layout: Mid-Engine, AWD
Transmission: Paddle-shifted DSD Manuel
Differential: Electronically Controlled LSD
Engine
Type: Lamborghini V12
Induction: Naturally Aspired
Displacement: 6.5 Liters
Horsepower: 650 bhp
Torque: 487 lb-ft.
Exterior
Body type: 2 door, 2 seat, removable roof roadster
Performance
Acceleration: (0-100 km/h) 3.4 seconds
Speed: 205 mph
Lamborghini of late has been milking every dollar it can from the aging Murcielago with one special edition after another, counting on the supersports coupe and roadster to continue to sell to its clientele until the eventual introduction of an all-new top bull.
The latest in the line, in a limited run of 50 units that are sure to sell immediately, is the quickest and most dramatic modern-day factory Lambo to date, the 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago LP 650-4 Roadster.
The new 650-4 features the most powerful engine in a drop top Lamborghini to date, a version of the company's ubiquitous V12 massaged out to 6.5 liters and 650 horsepower. As the "-4" extension indicates, the Murcielago LP560-4 Roadster carries permanent all wheel drive which should help to keep it on the road in the hands of drivers whose wallets outweigh their skill.
AWD helps the heavier roadster version of the Murcielago make it to 100 km/h from a standstill in 3.4 seconds, all the way up to a top speed of 205 mph. For comparison purposes, the 2WD standard-trim Murcielago Roadster takes 3.8 seconds to reach 100 km/h.
All 2010 Murcielago LP 650-4 cars get identical exterior paint and trim, with flat gray main body color with orange and carbon accents. The V12 is housed amidships under a transparent cover so pedestrians and truck drivers can know what the driver is packing.
Contact Lamborghini for availability, but don't cross your fingers if you don't have serious clout in the car world. Once the limited run of 50 are gone, you'll just have to wait for the next special edition a couple months down the line.

Lamborghini releases first images of the Murciélago LP 650-4 Roadster
Official Automobili Lamborghini Press Release
Automobili Lamborghini has released the first photographs of a limited edition Murciélago LP 650-4 Roadster. The Roadster version of the Murciélago will offer an uprated 6.5 litre V12 engine that produces 650 hp (478 kW) along with permanent four-wheel drive: hence the model’s LP 650-4 moniker. With 660 Nm of torque, top performance is at 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in 3.4 seconds. The top speed is around 330 Km/h (205mph).
The special edition model will be produced in a limited volume (50 units only), with a Grigio Telesto exterior that combines grey bodywork with a special bright orange Arancio LP 650-4 featured on the front spoiler and sills. The LP 650-4 logo applied to the car’s exterior is recognition of the car’s increased power. The car features orange brake calipers and a transparent V12-engine cover, which shows off the V12 engine behind the driver.
Interior features echo the car's striking grey-and-orange exterior: besides the orange touches, there is an asymmetric dash design, with black Alcantara Nera on the driver's side, including door panel and central tunnel, and black leather Nero Perseus on the passenger's side.
The increased power of the Murciélago engine, from 640 to 650 hp, will be unique to the Murciélago LP 650-4 Roadster: it demonstrates even further the developments that Lamborghini is able to offer from a current engine, and creates the exclusive characteristic of the Murciélago LP 650-4 Roadster.

how can anyone not like this murcielago? it's ferocious and noisy and I recently read a comparison against a zr1--the murcielago handled much better thanks to its sophisticated awd but the corvette wasn't so bad other than its cheap looks compared to the Lamborghini.
I personally would pick its younger brother, the new gallardo lp something, due to being smaller and I think easier to live with in day to day basis.

my brother and I have had this argument since we were about 5 years old
He's a Ferrari guy, I'm a Lambo lover.
We finally came to an agreement: BOTH cars are amazingly good looking
The Lamborghini has always been like that super hot EXOTIC looking woman you meet on vacation that you can't wait to get alone.
The Ferrari is the curvy & beautiful model you see in magazines that you can take home to your family as well.
Just like women: everyone has their different tastes.
