Presented as a concept car in 2003 in Detroit – where it generated significant interest among Italian supercar enthusiasts – the production version of the Murcielago Roadster makes its official debut at the Geneva Show 2004. Manufacture and sales are planned for the second half of this year for the Roadster.
The latest arrival at the House of the Raging Bull takes its inspiration from the great Italian tradition of open vehicles.
Design
As with the Coupe, the design of the Murcielago Roadster is exclusive, aggressive and extreme.
In creating the Roadster, the designer Luc Donckerwolke did not restrict himself to “cutting off” the roof of the Coupe. He bestowed it with its own sensational appearance, making the Murcielago Roadster a truly unique model. A model which in series production has retained all the emotional impact of the initial concept itself.
The exterior design is characterized by a true muscularity that interacts with aggressive lines, exploring the whole language of Lamborghini design and raising it to a new, higher level. The aggressive, exclusive and extreme themes are also reflected in the interior design, with streamlined headrests that perfectly integrate mobile air vents and “asymmetrical” leather upholstery. This enhances the whole driver’s part of the cockpit.
The front and lateral glass parts have been designed like a crash helmet visor, in order to integrate perfectly with the structure of the vehicle. In order not to alter the aesthetics of the car, the electronically controlled safety roll bars are automatic, extending only when necessary. As a result, optimum vehicle aerodynamics are maintained.
The newly conceived wheels are also in harmony with traditional Lamborghini design, with round holes that intersect the spokes. There is easy access to the bonnet, which is opened at the front as was the case with the legendary Miura.
Finally, the exhausts are also new, with a more aggressive “section” than the Coupe.
