Soon after the car was was constructed and displayed at put on display auto shows. The <span style="font-weight: bold;">Chrysler Corporation </span>did not expect the Viper to be such a big hit. The viper certainly got a lot of people interested, and in 1992 The first <span style="font-weight: bold;">Viper RT/10 Roadster </span>was produced. It initially came in only two color choices, black and the more common red. In 1996 <span style="font-weight: bold;">The Dodge Viper GTS</span> was introduced. The GTS was a hard top instead of the soft top<span style="font-weight: bold;"> RT/10.</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/StYtRornqsI/AAAAAAAAAO0/FvbB4ULrIm8/s1600-h/SRT-10-Dodge-Viper-The-fastest-sports-car-1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392547384824146626" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/StYtRornqsI/AAAAAAAAAO0/FvbB4ULrIm8/s400/SRT-10-Dodge-Viper-The-fastest-sports-car-1.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">SRT-10 Dodge Viper The fastest sports car</span><br /></div><br /><br />In the late 1980's and early 90's <span style="font-weight: bold;">Chrysler </span>was running out of money, and fast, and that is part of the reason for the Viper, they needed a 'halo car' car that could help them with their money problems and it worked.<br />In 1994 a television series starring the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dodge Viper</span> was aired on <span style="font-weight: bold;">NBC i</span>t was called of course, Viper. The show took place in a futuristic city and the Viper was a type of police car. It starts out like an ordinary Viper and with the push of a button it turned into the Defender, the ultimate crime fighting machine. Chrysler created the show to help there sales with the viper.<br />In 2003 the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dodge Viper </span>was changed dramatically, in both appearance and performance. The Dodge Viper was the fastest sports car for under 100 thousand, until the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Chevrolet Corvette ZO6</span> came along. Dodge plans to counter the Corvette with a new, faster and nicer Viper in 2008. Let's hope. The Viper is a true <span style="font-weight: bold;">American sports car.</span> </div>

This time, it’s a Lambo in the news. British tuner Prindiville Prestige is offering the most expensive, special edition Lamborghini since the launch of the €1 million Reventon. Prindiville is renowned for creating one-off, custom-made cars and this completely restyled Murcielago LP-640 is one great example. The roadster has been redesigned from the ground up and the interior modifications alone were done for €330,000. These modifications include saddle-tanned leather, hand-finished aluminum accents and specially engineered aluminum air vents. The car has been upholstered in buffalo foreskins. Carbon fiber work is all the rage these days, so they did the whole outer bodywork in carbon fiber, excluding the front compartment lid. Valances, sills and louvers have been used for a shark-like appearance. Other notable upgrades include a titanium sports exhaust system, handleless doors with remote electric opening, miniature cameras in the door mirrors and a restyled engine bay cover.<br /><br />The total cost for the bespoke special edition carbon fiber Lamborghini goes over $1 million. The Lamborghini Murciélago by Prindiville is daringly designed, stylishly aggressive and one of a kind. <br /><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 100%;"><img alt="carbon fiber lambo 2" src="http://www.instablogsimages.com/images/2009/04/20/carbon-fiber-lambo-2_b2XZG_48.jpg" style="height: 253px; width: 478px;" /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 100%;"><img alt="carbon fiber lambo 3" src="http://www.instablogsimages.com/images/2009/04/20/carbon-fiber-lambo-3_Hd7Te_48.jpg" style="height: 240px; width: 474px;" /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 100%;"><img alt="carbon fiber lambo 5" src="http://www.instablogsimages.com/images/2009/04/20/carbon-fiber-lambo-5_wZHNS_48.jpg" style="height: 261px; width: 475px;" /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 100%;"><img alt="carbon fiber lambo 4" src="http://www.instablogsimages.com/images/2009/04/20/carbon-fiber-lambo-4_seLHi_48.jpg" style="height: 324px; width: 473px;" /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>

Lamborghini Murciélago

<div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 180%; font-weight: bold;">Lamborghini Murciélago</span></div><br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333976216837004770" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG5vLHid1UJhJ3v-HFIJ_drdwXo6ONl4v8_qUDBXYtcXeOVrtUNQ273pGzYDgDfjU-zCwmoPobsx4VEqcdt8iYEkDutprQevlcQ21Hh4wq888PA7UNxrcloOick-iYVJZPFRsYjaEp01Xq/s320/lamborghini-murcielago-roadster-large.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" />The <b>Lamborghini Murc</b><b>iélago</b> is a high performance sports car produced by Italian automaker Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. and designed by Luc Donckerwolke. It was introduced in 2001 as the successor to the Diablo. The Murciélago is a two-door, two-seat coupé. To celebrate the company's 40 years in operation, 50 special edition Murciélagos were built during the autumn of 2003. An open-top version called the <b>Murciélago Roadster</b> was introduced in 2004 for the 2005 model year. The roadster features similar performance to the coupé with a more aggressive rear flank, as well as a considerably higher price tag.</div><div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Murciélago sports a 6.2-litre version of the Lamborghini V12 engine, a six-speed manual or 6-speed sequential automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive. It also has a rear spoiler that can be raised to an angle of 70 degrees, side mirrors that fold in to improve aerodynamics, and side scoops that automatically open to the needed size to let in just the right amount of air needed to cool its engine. The 2008 car's estimated fuel economy for the 6-speed manual is 8 miles per US gallon (29 L/100 km; 9.6 mpg<sub><small>-imp</small></sub>) city and 13 miles per US gallon (18 L/100 km; 16 mpg<sub><small>-imp</small></sub>) freeway, making it the least efficient 2008 car for city and highway driving, according to the EPA.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The coupé's base price is <span class="mw-redirect">US</span> $313,000, which is US $107,000 more than its smaller sibling, the Lamborghini Gallardo.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In 2006 the Murciélago's engine was replaced by a stronger 6.5-liter engine and the car's name was changed to <b>Murciélago LP640</b>. For the 2007 model year Lamborghini did the same with the roadster model, which is now called <b>Murciélago LP640 Roadster</b>. Both versions received a minor facelift.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><table class="toc" id="toc" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; text-align: left;" summary="Contents"><tbody><tr> <td><br /></td> </tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;"><script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[  if (window.showTocToggle) { var tocShowText = "show"; var tocHideText = "hide"; showTocToggle(); }  //]]> </script> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="" id="The_name" name="The_name"></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span class="mw-headline">The name</span></h2><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The name <i>Murciélago</i> (pronounced <i>moor-thee-EH-la-go</i> in traditional Castilian Spanish and <i>moor-see-EH-la-goh</i> in Spanish of Latin America) means "bat" in Spanish. A bull by this name survived 24 sword strokes in an 1879 fight at the arena of Córdoba, and fought with such passion and spirit that the matador chose to spare its life, a rare honor. In another Lamborghini tie-in, the bull was later presented as a gift to Don Antonio Miura, who was a noted breeder and whose bull ranch the Lamborghini Miura was named after, and went on to sire a line of famous fighting bulls.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="" id="40th_Anniversary_Edition" name="40th_Anniversary_Edition"></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span class="mw-headline">40th Anniversary Edition</span></h2><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="thumb tright" style="text-align: justify;"><div class="thumbinner" style="width: 182px;"><span class="image"><img alt="" border="0" class="thumbimage" height="158" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e6/Lamborghini_Murcielago_40th_anniversary_edition.jpg/180px-Lamborghini_Murcielago_40th_anniversary_edition.jpg" width="180" /></span> <br /><div class="thumbcaption"><div class="magnify"><span class="internal"><br /></span></div>Lamborghini Murciélago 40th Anniversary Edition</div></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In late 2003, Lamborghini announced a special 40th Anniversary Edition of the Murciélago, following in the footsteps of their Countach and Diablo Anniversary Editions. The limited production run of 50 vehicles featured enhancements including a limited-edition body color, carbon-fiber exterior detailing, upgraded wheels , a new revamped exhaust system, and a 40th Anniversary numbered plaque displayed along the side. The interior featured a new leather trim and additional electronic features.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="" id="LP640" name="LP640"></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span class="mw-headline">LP640</span></h2><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The <b>LP640</b> version was first shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2006, as a facelift for the coupé version. It features a 6.5 Litre engine, now producing 640 PS (631 hp/471 kW), improving performance substantially. Like the base Murciélago, the engine is mounted "backwards", with the transmission in front of the engine and the differential behind it, instead of a transaxle normally seen on mid-engine cars. There were also a few minor external changes, primarily to the low air intakes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="thumb tright" style="text-align: justify;"><div class="thumbinner" style="width: 202px;"><span class="image"><img alt="" border="0" class="thumbimage" height="150" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/60/LamborghiniMurcielago.jpg/200px-LamborghiniMurcielago.jpg" width="200" /></span> <br /><div class="thumbcaption"><div class="magnify"><span class="internal"><br /></span></div>LP640 Roadster at the 2007 <span class="mw-redirect">Los Angeles Auto Show</span></div></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The front and rear bumpers have been reshaped to channel air more efficiently, and the new exhaust has been shaped into the rear diffuser to minimize <span class="mw-redirect">aerodynamic lift</span>. The air intake on the left side has been enlarged to accommodate the feeding of the oil cooler. The car's body is made up of steel and carbon fibre, while underneath a revised suspension has been added to keep up with the car's performance. It also has an all-wheel-drive system that normally distributes 70% of the torque to the rear wheels, but can allocate up to 100% to the rear, or up to 70% to the front, depending on where the available grip is. There are also new 18-inch (460 mm) Hermera alloy wheels running huge 335/30 tyres at the rear. The LP640 retains the original car's scissor-opening doors. The LP640 coupè U.S. MSRP rests at $318,800.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Inside the LP640, the seating has been reshaped to accommodate greater headroom, while an upgraded instrument panel is flanked by an improved stereo system.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The LP640's optional equipment includes Carbon fibre-reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) ceramic composite brakes for swifter braking, chrome <span class="mw-redirect">paddle shifters</span> and a glass engine cover which shows off the LP640's engine.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A special edition version of the Murciélago LP640 was introduced at the <span class="mw-redirect">Paris Motor Show</span>. The <span class="mw-redirect">Versace</span> edition features a customized all-white exterior and a matching white interior.

The Gallardo is Lamborghini's most-produced model to date, with over 5000 on first three years of production . Each car costs about $180,000 to $210,000. The car is named after a famous breed of fighting bull. The <span class="mw-redirect">Spanish</span> word <i>gallardo</i> translates into "gallant," and from Italian into "striking".<br />gAYtransmission|'semi-automatic single-clutch sequential manual']], which Lamborghini abbreviates to "E-gear". The "E-gear" allows the driver to make shifts much faster than a manual transmission would. The driver shifts up and down via paddles behind the steering wheel, and does not and cannot manually actuate the clutch.<br />For the MY2006 (launched in late 2005) Lamborghini introduced many changes to the car to counter some criticisms garnered by the press and owners. These were derived from the limited edition Gallardo SE. The exhaust system was changed to a more sporty one (including a flap to make it quieter around town), the suspsension was revised and a new steering rack was fitted, the engine power was increased by 20bhp to a maximum of 520bhp, the biggest change was an overall lowering of the gearing especially in 1st to 5th. The result was a much improved car, it handled and turned in better, sounded better under full throttle and the extra power and lower gearing turned an already fast car into a seriously quick one.<br />The <span class="mw-redirect">Audi R8</span> sports car, launched in early 2007, is based on the Gallardo platform, and uses a 4.2 litre <span class="mw-redirect">V8</span> in place of the Gallardo's V10 to avoid competing directly with the Gallardo.<br />For the 2008 model year, an onboard computer, iPod connectivity with USB, heated mirrors, Q-citura stitching that originally could only be found on the Nera model, and a beige soft-top on the Spyder, were added to the Gallardo.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-2"></sup><br /><table class="toc" id="toc" summary="Contents"><tbody><tr> <td><br /></td> </tr></tbody></table><script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[  if (window.showTocToggle) { var tocShowText = "show"; var tocHideText = "hide"; showTocToggle(); }  //]]> </script> <br /><a href="" id="Variants" name="Variants"></a><br /><h2><span class="editsection"></span> <span class="mw-headline">Variants</span></h2><div class="thumb tleft"><div class="thumbinner" style="width: 182px;"><div class="thumbcaption"><div class="magnify"><span class="internal"><br /></span></div>Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder<span class="image"><img alt="" border="0" class="thumbimage" height="135" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/White_Lambo_Gallardo_Spyder_on_display.jpg/180px-White_Lambo_Gallardo_Spyder_on_display.jpg" width="180" /></span></div></div></div><a href="" id="Gallardo_Spyder" name="Gallardo_Spyder"></a><br /><h3><span class="mw-headline">Gallardo Spyder</span></h3>The production <span class="mw-redirect">spyder</span> model of the Gallardo was unveiled at the <span class="mw-redirect">Los Angeles Auto Show</span> in January 2006.

Note that the Gallardo SE could only be ordered in a very small selection of exterior colors: two grey shades as well as white (Balloon white), yellow (Giallo Midas), Orange (Arancio Borealis) and green (Verde Ithaca)<br /><div class="thumb tleft"><div class="thumbinner" style="width: 182px;"><span class="image"><img alt="" border="0" class="thumbimage" height="120" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/56/IMG_7110_-1%28Small%29.JPG/180px-IMG_7110_-1%28Small%29.JPG" width="180" /></span> <br /><div class="thumbcaption"><div class="magnify"><span class="internal"><br /></span></div>2006 Verde Ithaca Gallardo SE Interior.</div></div></div>The Gallardo SE comes with a two-tone interior. All piping and stitching on the ultra-quality leather are executed in the same color as the bodywork of the car. The mid sections of the seats are finished in color-coded upholstery and even the black floormats have a color coded borders.<br />A rear-view camera is also standard issue on the Gallardo SE, as is a multimedia system and a navigation system. The sport suspension and an exclusive cover also came with the car but there are still several other options available, like the E-gear, which featured a 'thrust' mode to offer even more impressive acceleration by improving the gearchange through the different gears.<br />This "thrust" mode automatically revs the car to 5,000 rpm, drops the clutch engaging all four wheels in a controlled burnout, and ensures the car performs maximum acceleration. This "launch" only requires the driver to engage the "thrust" mode and step on the gas pedal, similar to the launch technology in pre-2008 Formula 1 race cars.<br /><a href="" id="Nera" name="Nera"></a><br /><h3><span class="editsection"></span> <span class="mw-headline">Nera</span></h3><div class="thumb tright"><div class="thumbinner" style="width: 182px;"><span class="image"><img alt="" border="0" class="thumbimage" height="135" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e5/LamborghiniGallardoNero2.JPG/180px-LamborghiniGallardoNero2.JPG" width="180" /></span> <br /><div class="thumbcaption"><div class="magnify"><span class="internal"><br /></span></div>Lamborghini Gallardo Nera</div></div></div>The Gallardo Nera (Special Edition) was introduced at the <span class="mw-redirect">Paris Motor Show</span>. The Nera has a top speed of 315 km/h (196 mph), and it accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.9 seconds, as the engine and drivetrain are identical to the standard Gallardo. The car is meant to showcase the customization options available to the customer in the Ad Personam program. The Nera features special matte black body panels, and is only available in black -- actually a combination of Nero Serapis and Nero Noctis. Brake calipers are painted a special silver, and the taillights are smoked to match the darker paint scheme. The interior is stitched from high-contrast black and white leather in the Q-Citura (lozenge shaped) fashion. Only 185 units of the Gallardo Nera were produced and 60 were destined for the American market.

The bull, owned by the Don Rodríguez family, was best known for killing famed bullfighter Félix Guzmán in 1943. Reventón means "explosion" or "burst" in Spanish, when used as a noun. In the vernacular, it is also used to define a very large party or a night on the town. It's commonly said "vámonos de reventón", which means "let's go party tonight." In automotive terms, it means "blowout, flat tire" when used as a nounWhen it was used as the name of a bull, however, it was intended to be interpreted as an adjective, a quality or property of that bull in particular. In this last sense, Reventón means "he who seems to be about to burst".</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="" id="Production_status" name="Production_status"></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span class="mw-headline">Production status</span></h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The first car went to Lamborghini of Las Vegas in Nevada.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Car #3 was sold in an eBay auction and was delivered to a Californian buyer.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">On 2008-11-20, Lamborghini announced the last Lamborghini Reventón was delivered to a British customer of the official Midlands dealer, Lamborghini Birmingham.

It first entered production in 3464 cc (3.5 Litre) form in the Lamborghini 350 GT, the first car ever produced by the carmaker.<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are many versions of the story of its development - some say it is derived from a Honda Formula One design, others say that Giotto Bizzarrini borrowed heavily from his own F1 design. Both were 1.5 litre V12 racing engines and the Lamborghini unit has similarities to both.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In any case, when Ferruccio Lamborghini set out to provide Ferrari with competition, he contracted Bizzarrini to design the engine for his car and, according to some accounts, paid him a bonus for every horsepower over what Ferrari's V12 could produce. The finished product was such that, with minor modifications and improvements, the very same engine (in 6.5 litre form) powers the current V12-engined Lamborghini Murciélago LP640, and is estimated to finish its service for Lamborghini with the coming version of the Murcielago, the Murciélago SV <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-ddavid.com_0-0">[1]</sup>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The engine was designed from the start to be a "quad cam" - 2xDOHC (two cams per cylinder-bank) 60° V12 - as an intentional snub by Mr. Lamborghini of Ferrari's single-cam per-bank design. When the 3464 cc prototype was tested in 1963, it was able to produce 370 bhp (276 <span class="mw-redirect">kW</span>; 375 <span class="mw-redirect">PS</span>) at 9000 rpm - a figure of almost 107 bhp (80 kW; 108 PS) per litre, and unprecedented at the time. Bizzarrini famously insisted that the engine was mechanically capable of reaching an astonishing 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS) at 11000 rpm with an uprated fuel system, but the design was judged adequate, and when fitted <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJU6A5eEF9-DFtv9J7IAaoFgJE56mcI1MUsymfx2PZLav1gPRzfXqjA6O9kVP1TfSMYZLAE3SIRmJQb8qZ2HEQhySyAhqQmQg8vYB9XveBdPDL_9OI2PmXIe8sQ0q_TXq9tpNLk4eqm8ey/s1600-h/800px-Lamborghini_Murcielago_V12.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334827585862139746" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJU6A5eEF9-DFtv9J7IAaoFgJE56mcI1MUsymfx2PZLav1gPRzfXqjA6O9kVP1TfSMYZLAE3SIRmJQb8qZ2HEQhySyAhqQmQg8vYB9XveBdPDL_9OI2PmXIe8sQ0q_TXq9tpNLk4eqm8ey/s320/800px-Lamborghini_Murcielago_V12.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 240px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 320px;" /></a>with production carbs, all the auxiliary systems and detuned for road use, the engine still made an impressive 280 bhp (209 kW; 284 PS).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Over the years, the engine has nearly doubled in displacement, seen the modification of the heads to allow four valves per cylinder, the replacement of carbs with electronic fuel injection and the replacement of a wet sump lubrication system with a dry sump.
