Can't seem to stop thinking about them...

Am currently putting together the means to consider one in the future. Though, never seen one in the flesh, or driven one...

Have there been any known problems since launch with the car? or has it been successfully "Audified"?

Please, someone tell me they're crap and I should stay away...!

If you've never seen one in the flesh, be prepared for your condition to become considerably acute the day you do.

Some of the pics would suggest that styling-wise it's a more modern Diablo, albeit still in your-face and outrageous. It's nothing of the sort.

What an absolutely svelte, stunningly beautiful and cohesive car. All the lines just work perfectly. It's eons above the Diablo in terms of class. And it's surprisingly compact as well.

I believe everyone who has driven it will tell you that the Audiness only comes through in the ergonomics and ease of driving. The sound, looks, presence and 4WD mega-bhp push are all still very much Lamborghini.

You want one. Badly. You know it.

I know that thread, I've been lurking on FChat for a while now. The green one is absolutely stunning!

So, have there seriously been no issues with the Murci's then?!?!

My Car magazine 2004 calender is right in front of my desk and July has a titanium Murcy pictured outside some old italian buildings with the drivers side (lhd) door up.

There are also small close up shots of the alloy wheel, gearstick and a great pic of the engine.

So far July has not been a very productive month for me as I spend all day just looking at it

Did you have to stick to strict rev limits or were you allowed to give it some proper stick?

I thought you had to have your licence for a few years before you could do anything like that.
