Unveiled to the world in 2001, the Murciélago was Lamborghini's first flagship V12 car in the new millennium. With a Luc Donckerwolke designed body, and a new 6.2L V12, the Murciélago was the first Lamborghini produced under the supervision of new owners Audi. The new car featured a classic wedge shape that heralded the company's history, but modernized and updated to bring it into the new century. Featuring a VT-derived four wheel drive system, the Murciélago was not only powerful, but highly capable and well-mannered on the road. Cars in this market were equipped with a 6-speed "E-Gear" automated manual transmission.
