MURCIELARGO ROADSTER TO DEBUT AT DETROIT MOTOR SHOW
| It is strongly rumoured
that Lamborghini will unveil an open topped version version of the 6.2-litre
V12 powered Murcielargo at next months Detroit Motor Show. Designed by
Belgian Audi stylist Luc Donkerwolke the Murcielargo Roadster is described
as "stunning" by project insiders.
Lamborghini's owners Audi have guided the project and the Roadster is believed to incorporate an innovative all-glass electronically sliding roof. The inherent rigidity of the Murcielargo has been retained and little performance will be lost. The Roadster will still offer a top speed of 330km/h and a 0-100km/h dash in 3.8seconds. The mildly revised engine boasts variable valve timing and a variable geometry air intake manifold. The Roadster will cost around €220,000 and Audi are targeting sales of 300 units a year, the majority headed for the US market.
