Hello. The car we are enjoying in today’s Legendary Moment is:

Lamborghini Murcielago (LP580)

Lamborghini captured enthusiasts' hearts with some of the most avant-garde design among supercar makers. Like other luxury manufacturers, it could not escape financial trouble. After its acquisition by Audi in 1999, it launched the Murciélago in 2001. Compare its appearance with period cars such as Ferrari's 575M Maranello and Porsche's 996 Turbo and GT3 to appreciate how radical it was. The Murciélago, followed by supercars such as the Enzo, SLR McLaren and Carrera GT, ignited the millennium supercar wars. If you haven't seen the review yet, take a look.

It makes you reconsider what it means to make an entrance when stepping out of a car.

Lamborghini always seems to know exactly what its owners do and want. Scissor doors are a signature reserved for the top models.

Even with age, it cannot help drawing the eye. A supercar's price includes the value of such intangible qualities.

Even the raised lettering on the door sill is treated distinctively.

But that slight Audi feeling in the instrument cluster probably isn't imagination.

We increasingly hear about an “unassailable lead.” Lamborghini has created one within its own category. Lately it seems to avoid direct competition while emphasizing the many areas where it excels.
