Murci interior?

HI, new here but avid reader of the threads. I wanted to ask what anyone here and any murci owners think of the new interior of the murcielago? I love the murci but think the interior is a little bland with the dash and guages, i really love the dash and guages of the outgoing diablo. very curvy and race like round gauges. Does the murci interior look better in person or is it to audi like? I dont mean to sound like im bashing it, i still love the car and the interior is still nice. Just thought it was missing a little something. Any other opinions?

thanks, tom

I tend to think that the Murci's interior is very elegant and classy looking. The diablo had a relatively ugly dash in my opinion, but that changed once the 6.0 was released, and they did a minor update of it with a lot more carbon fiber. I think what the manufacturer was going for with the Murci was to have a real simple and classy look, yet relatively easy layout, so everything was almost right in front of you.

I disagree - I took an associate's Murci out for a spin yesterday in Dallas and thought the threads are fine - the subtle black upholstery with finely seamed matching orange stitches add the right amount of attention to detail to a car not built for subtlety otherwise .... It's an exotic because of the way it performs and speeds and looks not because of the way it's threaded out - otherwise heaven's forbid - we'd be seeing cars like the Enzo come with paisley prints ...

I'm not completely sure if you're dissing the Enzo or not. I'm thinking you are. This car is amazing....simply amazing. I saw it at the Houston Auto Show and was mystefied by how beautiful the car is. And the interior of the Enzo isn't suppose to be attractive, its made to be light weight considering its meant to be driven almost strickly on the track. But i think its sweet. I'm guessing that you are a Ferrari hater though.

...Dallas, black interior, orange stictching.....sounds like Tony?...?...?

First let me say, layout aside, that the construction quality of the Muri's dash is far better than that of the Diablo which felt clunky and pounded together in comparison.

I think they went for a minimalist approach on the interior of the Murci. The A/C is hidden with a little door. The stereo is two knobs; it looks simple and is very easy to operate. The whole thing feels very basic. Its not at all fancy. I think the interior is saying "I dont need to shout. I'll let the engine do all the talking".

The simple interior is like a beautiful woman who has the confidence to wear no makeup.

Agreed....:flash:

Well said. :)

Great response tony! Now i understand more since this is from an actual owner. Although everyone elses responses were good as well. Im sure it looks even better in person still and I can agree with what you said and its intentions to be that way.

Texas F35 - I wasn't dissing the enzo - i was making a statement that suggested that with clean thoroughbreds there's no need for gaudy frills. As far beign a Ferrari hater goes please read the following :

Ferrari 360 Modena

The look of impossible concentration in my associate as he paddled the jet-black Ferrari's sinuous frame into a classic slide routine, diagonally at148 miles-per-hour over into openings between three lanes of traffic may explain why the 360 Modena separates the boys from the men.

The fact that we were speeding North along the Tollway on a Saturday afternoon on a 60 mph speed limit Hwy. does not detract from how legitimate the first aluminum-framed Prancing Horse model is.

While the 360 does lack the Testarossa's sharp lines, and the signature bear-claw air vents that were part of the 348, its front-vents and rear-quad tail pipes make this is a car that has no problem attracting attention. Introduced in 1999 to replace the 355, the 360's mid-mounted engine is a voyeur's delight that rests behind a transparent rear hood. The simple leather interiors with aluminum accents are inviting and comfortable but also serious and to the point. Yes, the newer Ferraris do have a factory-fitted stereo system, but rest assured the sound of 400 horses in full gallop, displaces the need for music.

The driver and I engaged in cursory conversation before we pulled out of a lot on Beltline. He explained how he unknowingly had run into Niki Lauda at the Imperial Hotel in Germany, and commented on a Mercedes the racing legend had gotten out of.

A casual conversation got Lauda talking about modern Ferraris and how the 360 Modena could well be the Ferrari that one "could drive everyday." Given that the 360 comes with two to three-year warranty that sounds about right. Ordering the exotics can take anywhere from a year to three and may involve a premium. For the serious buyer however, that may not be an object and it's easy to see why.

The 360 is not just fast - it's sudden. Under the rounded curves lies the traditional Ferrari spiritedness that bursts through the surface when least expected. After the first bend, I had the impression it was taken badly and braced myself for a skid. Instead we found ourselves on the straight in perfect alignment. By the third bend I began to understand. Through a curve my associate did not remove his foot from the accelerator but instead went into it quicker than I would have. With one movement he aimed the car square at the inside of the turn, just where the curve started. His foot flat down, he had moved to a lower gear before the maneuver. In this manner, the car went into a four-wheel drift, making the most of the thrust of the centrifugal force and keeping it on the road with the traction of the driving wheels. Throughout the bend the car kissed the inner edge, and when the bend turned straight, the car was in the normal position for accelerating down with no need for adjustment.

The Ferrari mystique for the sports lover can be hard to relate to unless its experienced but maybe one can put it another way one. Travelling at stretches where a car is hitting 150 mph there is truly no room for conversation and its not because there's no time. Case in point. It took us about six minutes to reach the Telecom Corridor.
