Simple, clean lines follow recent Lambo style

We've all heard the complaints that supermarkets are killing off smaller businesses by stocking a vast range of items at knock-down prices, but now Tesco has gone one step further. Just 180 Clubcard points (or the same amount of your finest Sterling) can be exchanged at the retail giant for your very own Lamborghini.

The Muiro (not to be confused with the iconic Miura supercar of 1966) is the cheapest Lamborghini in the current range, and features 50% less wheels than its siblings. The 46cm alloy frame is painted in a lurid shade of orange similar to that seen on the rest of the Lamborghini range (the snappily named Arancio Atlas Mica 2CT), with raging bull decals and Lamborghini logos decking this Italian stallion from ground to saddle.

The Muiro also features the largest alloy wheels in the entire Lambo range, at a colossal 26 inches in diameter, along with one disc brake at the front and a V-style brake at the rear. Following the recent trend in Lamborghini drivetrains, the Muiro is offered with sequential gearing, however more choice than ever is offered with a full-suite of 21 Shimano TX-30 gears.

Being the lightest of the Lambo lineup, with a power output of... erm... one person-power and an unrestricted top speed, this raging bull won't stop for anything, while chunky off-road tyres and full suspension give it the best off-road ability seen in a Lambo since the LM002 back in 1986. However this off-roader has bucked the trend of many 4x4s by opting for one-wheel drive.

So next time you're stocking up on mild cheddar and free-range eggs, do remember to swipe your Clubcard. One of these days it might just pay off.
