After more than a decade as a reigning supercar terror,
time has come for the legendary Lamborghini Diablo to
bow down to its successor, the hellfire-packing Murcielago.
Automobili Lamborghini introduced the Murcielago at the
2001 Frankfurt Motor Show, lifting large crates off a
pair of wedge-shaped cars before a large, anxious crowd
flanked by the Ferrari and Maserati booths. Pushing the
boundaries at the extreme, white-hot end of the automotive
spectrum, the evolutionary car improves upon the Diablo's
basic formula while retaining its spirit.
