In 2003, to celebrate Lamborghini’s 40th Anniversary, the House of the Raging Bull is offering a special, limited edition series of its superb vehicle Murciélago. The Sant’Agata factory is upholding the Lamborghini tradition by continuing the Limited Edition Series. After the Countach 25th anniversary edition launched in 1988 and the Diablo SE launched in 1993, Automobili Lamborghini is about to launch the Murciélago 40th Anniversary Edition. A limited amount of 50 numbered cars will be produced in 2003 which will be sold predominantly in Europe, the United States and Japan.
Many assumed Audi’s announcement that it would build the R8 mid-engine sports car angered the fine Italian folks over at Lamborghini. Here their sister company was planning to sell an exotic premium coupe using the same underpinnings as its own Gallardo.
It sounded like a great recipe for cannibalizing sales. The R8 has debuted and Lamborghini is still standing, and now we find that the Brahma Bull will actually benefit from the development of Audi new coupe.
In a once in a lifetime history making sale, the one-off Lamborghini Bertone Miura Roadster been purchased by an American collector. Lamborghini’s Miura is considered the most beautiful and arguably most desirable post-war sports vehicle ever built for the road. A mere 762 Miura’s were produced between 1967 and 1973. The ultimate specification P400SV now commands prices of up to $800,000.
