the Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster 2004 reviews

Presented as a concept car in 2003 in Detroit – where it generated significant benefits among Italian supercar enthusiasts – the production Murcielago Roadster made official at the Geneva Show in 2004. Production and business are planned for second half of this year for the Roadster.

To the new home of the Raging Bull takes its inspiration from the tradition of Italian vehicle open.

When strong, fast and extreme as the coupe from which it derives, the Lamborghini Murcielago Lamborghini brought by twelve cylinder Roadster tradition: from the 350 GTS Miura Roadster, right up to the most recent Diablo Roadster.

This has been achieved without compromising the performance expected from a real Lamborghini. Thanks to accurate design, the open version also provides excellent handling, speed driving and safety characteristics.

For the Murcielago Roadster is built on extreme and exclusive features of the coupe so, confirm that it really is a “symbol” of the Lamborghini brand.

Lamborghini new era began in 2001 with the Murcielago, the Gallardo in 2003, continue to the year 2004 of the Murcielago Roadster, which strengthen and continue to increase the value of many undisputed Murcielago.

Design

As with the coupe, the design of the Murcielago Roadster is exclusive, and extremely positive.

In creating the Roadster, the designer Luc Donckerwolke not limit their “cut” the roof of the coupe. He most sensational with its own appear, making the Murcielago Roadster a unique model really. A model in which mass production has kept all of the effects of initial emotions, the concept itself.

Outside the specific design of a real muscularity that interact with aggressive lines, exploring the whole language of Lamborghini design and raising it to a new, higher level.

Active, the topic is extremely exclusive and are also reflected in the interior design, with streamlined headrests that mobile phone fully integrated air vents and “asymmetrical” leather upholstery. This strengthening of the driver’s part of the cockpit.

The front and lateral glass parts have been designed like a crash helmet visor, to integrate perfectly with the structure of the vehicle. In order not to change the car’s electronic control safety automatically scroll bar, extended only if necessary. As a result, optimum vehicle aerodynamics are maintained.

Was conceived in the wheel well is harmonious with the traditional Lamborghini design, with round holes that intersect the spokes.

Have easy access to the bonnet, opens in front as was the case with the legendary Miura.

Finally, the exhausts are also new, more positive with a “part” than coupe.

Technical data

The Murcielago Roadster coupe from other important in some technical details. The chassis structure – in steel and carbon – have been redesigned to ensure adequate torsional stiffness, although no roofs.

In particular, a special stiffening lattice on the structure of the machine. As an optional feature, this lattice can also see a carbon fiber version.

If no positive change features of the car, that is the top choice in an attached roofs ( “R-first”) that, as in the traditional type of model, is only designed for temporary time use (eg in case of unexpected rain) and at a suggested maximum speed of 160 km / h.

Special attention was paid to safety. As mentioned previously, the Murcielago Roadster is equipped with automatic electronic control of the scroll bar, which extends from the rear seats in just a few milliseconds in the roll-over emergency.

The overall dimensions are similar to the coupe: a length of 4580 mm, width is 2,045 mm, wheelbase is 2665 mm, front track is 1635 and the track is 1695 mm. The only variation is height: the Murcielago Roadster is 70mm lower than the coupe.

Dry weight is 1650 kg, with weight distribution 42% front and 58% in the back.

The engine is clearly the Lamborghini 12 cylinder 60 ° V, with a displacement of 6192 cc, producing 580 hp (426 kW) at 7,500 rpm and Maximum Torque of 650 Nm at 5400 rpm. Engine features Lamborghini L.I.E. electronic engine management system. The standard gearbox is a 6-speed manual, as coupe. As an optional feature, a speed of 6 – “E-gear” automatic version is available.

There is also Lamborghini permanent four wheel drive on the Roadster, with a center viscous coupling and limited slip front differentials and later (after 45%, 25% front).

Have independent front and two wishbone suspension and anti-roll bars with front “Antidive” and later “Antisquat” system. Koni FSD (Frequency Selecting Dampers) self-adjusting shock absorbers are used.

The braking system is the H-type electric braking, ABS with ventilated discs and four.

The wheel rims are aluminum alloy with dimensions 8.5 “on the front and 13″ rear with Pirelli Rosso tyres 245/35ZR 18 in front and 18 in 335/30ZR behind.

Maximum speed of the Murcielago Roadster (depending on aerodynamic configuration) is circa 320 km / h. Maximum speed recommended for roofs with a 160 km / h.

The Murcielago Roadster takes 3.8 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km / h.

Although the absence of roofs, modifications have ensured excellent structural rigidity level. This rigidity and optimized suspension ensure that driveability is sure and effective activity for people of inferior coupe. Lap times for both versions of the Murcielago in circuits processing different proof has been more or less identical.

Home Furnishings

The Murcielago Roadster is more extreme and exclusive than ever, and for interior decoration. This has “asymmetrical” leather upholstery: the left side of the document different than the right and is perforated. That part of the cockpit designed for the driver is useful for him / her, so it really is a “pilot Oriented Challenger.”

The left side door panel also has “perforated” cladding, while the centers of the two seats is made of alcantara. Headrest areas have been modified to allow the use of network computer in the hands of the cockpit and engine.

The steering wheel are upholstered in leather and a perforated section. In the center is the coat of a Lamborghini hand.

Sitting at the wheel of the Murcielago Roadster, everything is controlled, as well as on the coupe version.

The Instrumentation is clear and precise, one with computers and computer travel. Among the drivers are for electrical control electrically-heated wing mirrors, not later view mirror and improved axle system, front axle allows the vehicle to be raised by 45 mm at room low level.

The automatic air conditioning, optional navigation system and convenient hands for all time also contribute to the comfort.

Among the options the features planned for the Murcielago Roadster is a carbon fiber version of the special stiffening lattice on the structure of the machine (which is a black model on the production of steel), a carbon fiber of the including the engine, and “windbreaks” seats and the rear windscreen.
