LAMBORGHINI
MURCIELAGO Roadster 2001
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.
