Offered in both closed-roof Coupe and open Roadster forms, Murcielago packs a V12 using more than 600PS behind its seats, sufficient to supply near-stratospheric amounts of performance in the four wheel drive chassis.
Regardless of the similarity of styling and near-identical overall dimensions, the Roadster required considerable re-engineering of their centre section, to change strength lost once the roof section was removed.
The extra weight exacts merely a nominal penalty in relation to acceleration and top speed; both cars have sub-four second to 100kph acceleration, along with a maximum speed in more than 330kph.
