With a price tag that can approach the half-million mark, once further customized or specially fitted, the Murcielago is a true exotic, offered in few enough numbers to make spotting one a rare treat, even in moneyed areas. Meanwhile, Murcielago Roadster is still one of the hottest exotics to be seen in cruising Rodeo Drive or Miami's South Beach.
Those with an inclination toward racing will likely gravitate to the lighter, faster LP670-4 SuperVeloce, offering some improved numbers that might make a difference at the track--as well as give some added bragging rights beyond Murcielago ownership itself.
All this said, the Murcielago offers a remarkably civil driving experience, but visibility is very difficult due to its low driving position and bodywork that favors fashion and high-speed aerodynamics over day-to-day functionality. What matters ultimately to most buyers won't have anything to do with practicality--rather the Murcielago's exclusivity, and the fact that it's one of the world's fastest sports cars.
