The Murci get it's revenge . . .

[raven1822]

If you remember the first Top Gear test of the Murcielago it was a bit dissappointing. Well here is the second go round and car performs way above average.

So why the sudden change of heart?

No change of heart for me, it is a Lambo and I loved it from day. Just glad it shows what it can do in this video. But for Top Gear magazine, they always loved it but they felt it could be faster around their test loop. Well what do you know. The Murci put down a faster lap time than every car including the Zonda, Konigsegg, GT3, M3CSL, etc.

The Gallardo did not do to bad either, two good vids check them out.

Amazing video, just makes me want to drive one. I'm glad to see it on top, but aren't the Zonda and the Koenigsegg actually faster cars?

Yeah, I would say so. They are both much lighter. Zonda is a few bhp down on the Lambo but has a lot more torque. The "segg" has a lot more of everything.

I would imagine both being faster in the hands of a "normal" person. We have seen the difference in acceleration between the Zonda and Murcielago. You cannot get around the Lambo's weight.

nice, only a fighter jet is faster!what about the mclaren what place was it?

[palopagani]

yes... the murci may have beaten the lap times of the Zonda and koenigsegg but once again this all depends on driver etc.. and as the murci had a bad time the first go around ..the same can apply to these two..they may have not done their best..even if it was fairly good

I have a feeling that the Zonda if run again will again be the fastest. It is a pretty well sorted car. I don't know if the "segg" could do it again, it does not seem to be able put its enourmous power to ground 100%.

Nice video. It shows what the Murcilago is really capable of. Does anyone have a video of the Murci on the wet track? I would like to compair the two.

Yea, thats a good video Raven. On a side note, the XTR2 is pretty bad ass for how small it is.

Yes it is a pretty cool call. Unforntuntely, Europe has a lot of these little light weight, small displacement cars that are not legal over here. Like the Radical, it was track car of the year a couple years back.

Were the Zonda/Koenigsegg tested in the wet, or were they driven on the same dry track as the Murci had?

BTW - great video
