Review: Lamborghini Murcielago LP640
As we all know, there are supercars, and then... there's the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. It has been called old and overweight, it has been called impractical and overpriced, it has been called out for its propensity to make 10-year-old boys lick its windows. When we got word that the LP640 would be stopping by the Autoblog Garage for a weekend, it was our chance to see if the childhood dream was still potent enough to answer adult desires.

0Video: Lamborghini-powered Fiat 500 blows our minds 1366044300
We suppose that it was fate that eventually someone would take a vintage Fiat 500 and wrap it around a 6.2-liter V12 plucked from a Lamborghini Murcielago. Seeing as how both the 500 and the Murcielago hail from Italy, it was only a matter of time before the two got drunk and made either the best or worst decision of their lives depending on who you ...

Video: Kanye West doesn't know his Lamborghini models 1339199940
Regardless of how you (or we) feel about Kanye West's music, factual errors are factual errors. And that's exactly why we're posting this music video of Kanye's new single, "Mercy."

Report: Murci, Murcy Me: Man wins Lamborghini, wrecks it hours later [w/video] 1324402200
The Thrill Of Victory. The Agony of Defeat. Rarely does one person get to experience such highs and lows within mere hours of each other, but when it happens, the comedown is often all the more painful.

Monterey: The world's only matte brown Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SV 1313867220
There are literally hundreds of Lamborghini models of all ages and description at Concorso Italiano, so how does one stand out? Surely not with a bright color, as that would just blend in with the crowd. No, you go for a color that no one else has. Like brown. Now, some will say that such a "boring" color doesn't belong on an exotic car like the the ...

The Internet is chock-full of adorable pet videos and Jackass-style human clips, but it isn't very often when the animal is the one surviving the ill-advised act. That's typically not our cup of tea anyway, but when you throw in a spanking new Lamborghini Murciélago and a happy ending and we're likely to bite. Beyond the jump is video of a ...

Unicate's Lamborghini Murcielago "Yeniceri Edition" flies under the radar... almost 1288704540
Making a Lamborghini Murcielago stand out has to be one of the easiest tasks an aftermarket tuner can undertake. After all, the six-lane-wide supercar stands out pretty well straight from the factory. Making one fly under the radar is another matter entirely, but Unicate has done a fine job. The anti-bling matte finish and smoked lamp lenses give the ...
