2003 LAMBORGHINI MURCIELAGO

摘要

Lamborghini chose the active volcano, Mount Etna in Sicily, as the perfect setting for the debut of its all-new super car, the Murcielago. Amid grand-introduction theatrics (manmade smoke-and-ash effects, performance artists rights out of Cirque du Soleil), one fact was immediately clear: The Murcielago may look less audacious than the Diablo it replaces-but it's a serious piece. And still pure Lamborghini.rnLike so many Lambos, the name of this new creation finds its roots in Spain's storied sport of bullfighting (company founder Ferruccio Lamborghini was born under the sign of Taurus). Murcielago (Spanish for "bat" and pronounced "moo-thee-uh-LA-go") was an exceptionally strong and able bull, whose life was spared following a fierce fight in 1879. This rare honor was bestowed only upon those animals who showed exceptional courage and spirit in the arena.
