Lamborghini cut the roof of the Murcielago LP640 and transformed it into one of the fastest roadsters in the world in 2007.
The Italian carmaker introduced a facelifted version of the 2001 Murcielago at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show. In December, it came with the open-top version for it at the Los Angeles International Auto Show, with the updated engine, and became the second-best option in the supercar market, after its coupe brother.

There was a new chin under the short front overhang, and in the rear, the carmaker installed a sculptured engine lid with several vents. The car was big and powerful. Its status as one of the greatest supercars ever made to that date was rocked by other car manufacturers, including Porsche and, of course, a traditional competitor from Ferrari. In the rear, on the lower side, there was a tailpipe with huge dimensions. It could be easily mistaken with the drainage for a street.

The luxurious interior featured leather seats, a leather-covered dashboard and center console, and aluminum pedals. Its gearshift lever was straight-up from the center console. Lamborghini installed a removable canvas roof with several struts reinforcing it, which allowed the owner to remove and store it in the front trunk. It was so light and flimsy that the carmaker recommended that the driver not exceed 100 mph (160 kph) with the roof installed.

Under the hood, the Italians installed the same Longitudinale Posteriore (Rear-longitudinal) engine that provided 640 hp. Lamborghini paired it exclusively with a six-speed manual that sent the power in all corners.

Lamborghini introduced a roadster version for its flagship, the Murcielago, in 2004, and it tried to make it look more like a coupe.
Let’s face it! A roadster is built to be driven with the top removed, and a supercar can reveal its aura only on fair weather. That works even for an all-wheel-drive supercar such as the Murcielago. True, the coupe version might be the one that stole the customers, but it was the roadster that could steal the show on the promenade.

Murcielago Roadster designers managed to make the roadster looks like a space-craft. Its side windows featured a descending line and met with the black side panels behind the cockpit. One of the most interesting solutions was for the engine cover, which was opened rearwards, in the same way, the Lamborghini Miura did in the ’60s.

Inside, there was the same luxurious yet sporty interior with leather sport bucket seats and a tall center console. Lamborghini insisted on installing the same straight gear stick, which popped up from the metallic gate and ended with a metallic ball as a knob. The dashboard was at the same level as the doors. It might look low from the outside, but it was tall if seen behind the steering wheel.

Under the engine cover, the carmaker installed a reinforced metallic grid to stiffen the roadster. If the metallic look was not on the customer’s taste, Lamborghini could have arranged that with an option for a carbon-fiber one, which was lighter and pricier. The magnificent Lamborghini V12 engine was the same as its coupe sibling.
