Murcielago

I would not say it's much better, but it has several things that give it an advantage. HP went up some. The entire car is carbon fiber except for the doors. Transmission is smoother than a baby's bottom.

I would give it the edge on the Diablo.

Murcielago, yes or no

Hello,

it depends on what you're looking for, the latest Lamborghini Murcielago is without a doubt the BEST driving Lamborghini ever, but do you want that, an extremely fast car that isn't any more difficult to drive than say a fast BMW or a Porsche.

With the Diablo you needed some experience, especially the rear wheel drive versions were rather unforgiving when pushing to the limit, also the styling was different, more aggressive some people might say, the Murcielago is very smooth, almost too smooth to be a Lamborghini according to several people.

It's all just a matter of taste, and money, a Diablo will cost around 110,000 up to about $175,000 for a good one, while the Murcielago will still be near $300,000 for a few years to come.

My personal favorite is still the Miura SV, an awesome, completely timeless design in my opinion.

Kind regards

I could not have said it better! Oh, I agree completely about the Diablo SV. It's "Like Driving on Ice!"

Roadster

I must say i found love when I saw the yellow Diablo Roadster, yet the Murcielago looks kinda grow on you. the one thing that's lacking in the later Diablo is the boring headlight, I much prefer the close eye style with the earlier one.

The new Murcielago has beautiful headlight, which is an improvement from the Diablo, yet the rear end of the Murcielago is too fat render it unattractive. Given that most other drivers on the road will have a good treat of your BEHIND ( com on now, u don't drive at the speed limit in a raging Bull do you ) I thought a better ASS would be nice

MERC vs DIABLO

Looks, everyone knows the Diablo beats the Merc into the ground. Everthing else, Merc smacks the Diablo around like a red-headed step child. Thats what happens when a high tech company (Audi) buys out an old-world legend.

For looks its the Diablo, but the Murcie also looks pretty good and is a bit more powerful, I'd go with the Murcielago since IMO its got a better balance.

The Murciélago is clearly a better car. Is has a more powerfull engine, it has improved suspension and braking, it has a lowered center of gravity, corners better, is more friendly to the driver....

The Diablo is only better in its looks.

Overall, the Murcielago is better I can tell you first hand because I used to have a 1999 Diablo SV.

yea the murcielago is the better car with a modern technique.
but you also have to keep in mind that the murcielago is quite heavy.

but you all should believe what sizzilin says. he should know what he talks about!!!
