Pimpwiz.com's Ride of Jan.2005 - Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster
"Presented as a concept car in 2003 in Detroit, where it generated significant interest among Italian supercar enthusiasts, the production version of the Murcielago Roadster will make its official debut at the Geneva Show 2004.
The latest arrival at the House of the Raging Bull takes its inspiration from the great Italian tradition of open vehicles. As powerful, fast and extreme as the Coupe version from which it derives, the Lamborghini Murcielago carries on Lamborghini’s twelve cylinder roadster tradition: from the 350 GTS to the Miura Roadster, right up to the most recent Diablo Roadster.
This has been achieved without compromising the performance expected from a real Lamborghini. Thanks to accurate design, the open version also delivers excellent handling, acceleration and driving safety characteristics.
The Murcielago Roadster version builds on the extreme and exclusive features of the Coupe thus confirming it as a real “icon” of the Lamborghini brand.
The new Lamborghini era started in 2001 with the Murcielago, followed in 2003 by the Gallardo, and continues with the arrival in 2004 of the Murcielago Roadster, which enhances and further increases the undisputed value of the Murcielago range.
Manufacture and sales of the Murcielago Roadster are planned for the second half of 2004."[Via rsportscars.com]
