My First V12 Lamborghini Experience Was This Insane Murcielago SV!

  • Today I'm driving one of the best known Lamborghinis of the modern era - the mighty Murcielago SV. A runout model, Lamborghini threw everything at this car to make it one of the maddest and fastest of its day. With 670 horsepower from its 6.5L V12, it was the final application of the incredible Bizzarini V12, which debuted five decades earlier.

    It’s a glorious experience isn’t it, my wife bought me a drive lots of different cars at thruxton thing for my 30th birthday back in 2005, I drove an RX8, SLK350, F360, 911 turbo and the crowning glory a merciélago which I think at that time had 600 horsepower, the 911 turbo was outstanding but the Lamborghini was on another planet. I grinned my way around the 4 laps I had in it and my wife says I didn’t stop grinning for a week. Things have moved on leaps and bounds since then, especially when it comes to flappy paddle gearboxes but what a car.

    A chap I know who lives just up the road from me has the LP670 SV - it’s a beast. His is all black and menacing - his is left hand drive but it does live in the U.K.- There are a few videos of Glen’s Murcielago on TH-cam, even Shmee follows it in Piza, Italy in one of his early videos. By far my favourite Lamborghini - though I don’t fit in it being 6’5” - you can find it by searching V12WOO

    Another brilliant video! What a dynamic drive. I believe the engine was used first in the 1964 Lamborghini 350 GT, a Car Ferruccio created to show Ferrari how to build a Grand Tourer that actually works (he had a lot of problems with his Ferrari and found Enzo unsympathetic). The Miura that appeared later on in that decade was virtually a skunk-works project created by some of his very young engineers (Including Gian Paolo Dallara) which started off the tend of the Marque creating wild Supercars.

Definitely takes a long drive, to slow the heart down, and actually enjoy driving it. After driving both, they are chalk and cheese to one another, Merci - Aventador.
