...Murci??lago shoots from 0 to 60 in 3.8 sec. and has a top speed of 200 m.p.h. I'll take Lambo's word for it. Unless you're on a closed course or have a death wish, it's tough to push it to the max. On New York's Taconic Parkway, I never had to shift above fourth gear to feel like a human cannonball and pull all the Le Mans moves I could safely muster.

If you hit 100 m.p.h., Lamborghini warns, the roof might blow off--and how embarrassing would that...

Since 1998, VW has pumped $155 million into the brand, with Lambo currently producing two models (the Gallardo is the other) for the first time in its 41-year history. One feature the Murci??lago roadster borrows from VW's Audi A4 convertible is roll bars that pop up within milliseconds in a rollover. But the Murci??lago, named for a legendary Spanish bull so fierce it was spared by a matador, is as outrageous as Lambo's prior exotica, cars like the Countach...
