Lamborghini Murcielago production ends

The last ever Lamborghini Murcielago has left the production line at the company’s headquarters in Sant’Agata Bolognese, bearing the production number 4,099. The Murcielago is thus the most produced Lamborghini 12-cylinder ever as well as one of the most successful super sports cars.

End of the road for Lamborghini Murcielago

The date was celebrated by a special exhibition of the most famous V12 cars in the company’s history, as well as a parade in the streets. The fleet of cars included: The 350 GT, the Countach, the Miura, the Diablo and obviously a Murcielago SV.

The Lamborghini Murcielago first went into production in 2001, with the initial model sporting a 6-litre V12 which produced 540hp, with the second generation LP 640 producing 640hp from 6.5 litres. The latest model, the Murcielago LP 670-4 Superveloce, improved even further, producing 670hp and with a reduction of 100kg in weight was able to complete 0-100km/h in just 3.2 seconds with a max speed of 342km/h.

The eyes of the motoring world will now be fixed on Lambo to see what they bring out as the Murcielago’s successor. The official debut is expected to be early next year some time, with development on the LP700-4 nearing completion. Either way, it is no doubt the successor to the Lamborghini Murcielago will become another legendary super sports car.
