In Frankfurt there have been presented a number of new features on Lamborghini's flagship supercar, the 12-cylinder Murciélago, which is being shown in Model Year 2006 (Coupé and Roadster) format.

The most important of these additions is without doubt the possibility to now equip the car with carbon-ceramic brakes. Carbon-ceramic brake discs offer clear benefits over conventional discs. The main three are: braking efficiency remains constant at both low and high temperature, with no fading, even after hard use; secondly, improved handling, agility and efficiency; and finally shorter braking distances with reduced pedal effort. These main advantages are complemented by a longer lifetime, the discs are lighter than steel equivalents and that it is a  “state of the art” system.

The Murciélago MY 06 also now complies with  EU4 standards (ECE). A new standard equipment package includes a Becker navigation system (not for the USA) and a range of new options. Optional equipment includes the “Interior Carbon Package“, where a number of the interior components are made from carbon fibre.

A further optional extra is the “Branding Package”, which comprises the Lamborghini logo in relief on the headrests and the coloured Lamborghini logo on the wheels. The Murciélago MY 06 Coupé is now also available in the exclusive new colour Oro Adonis (gold), already available for the Roadster version. The "Privilege Programme" car customisation option is also available for the Murciélago MY 06.
