Murcielago, the all weather, year round supercar.

This is a link to another forum (sorry I don't have the actual article). Pretty good read about the big Lambo in the snow.

I've actually read that article before. I don't remember what it said b/c its been a while, but I wasn't impressed that they were ruining the car driving it through that slush of dirt and snow.

Ruining the car??? They actually had the balls to take it out in bad weather conditions and write about it. I love that they did this and actually tested the Murcie on something other than a racetrack. Should the Murcie be so much different than any other AWD car that someone may test in the snow. Even if it is about $250,000 more expensive than most and a hell of a lot nicer, someone should, and did, test it in snowy and icy conditions. Give it a wash and wax and it will look as nice as any Lambo on a showroom floor. And tell me you don't love the shots of the Murcie in the snowy landscape.

Don't get me wrong, I think every picture in that magazine looks bad ass, and I'd like to find those in 1024x768 high res format. But I still wouldn't drive mine on it.

Oh, I agree with you 100% on that. I wouldn't take my Murcie out in those conditions. But I am glad someone else did.

Good article. It's nice to hear how well the Murci drives in those conditions.

I agree, that is a lot of dirt and slush. I hope they gave it a good undercarrige wash when they were finished.
