battle between zonda f, enzo, carrera GT, koenigsegg and MC12 at the nurburgring...

[LeonOfTheDead]

Quite Italian still but not as much as that of the Diablo and Countach...

It is just a little too civilized nowadays...

Lamborghinis before like the countach and diablo were not very convenient to drive as an everyday car...

Now, if you have the money for the fuel. You can drive a Lamborghini murcielago everyday as a roadcar... It has Sat Nav, Airconditioning that actually works, etc...

As Jeremy Clarkson said, Audi is taking away Lamborghini's soul...

back in the days of the Countach or of the Diablo, there weren't supercars with satnav, air conditioning and power everything.
AFAIK Audi just payed the Murcielago and hade a supervising role in the design. the car was still developed by the the people from the former Lamborghini company.

the Gallardo has been completely developed and designed at Ingolstad.

TBH, the only real crazy Lamborghini (apart from the LM) was the Countach. The Diablo is just a technical and stylistic evolution of it, but nothing was like the Countach when it originally came out.

besides, the Diablo isn't very problematic to use as an everyday car, apart from the expensive maintenance (just because it wasn't designed to face so high mileage, a problem also cars like the 550/575 had).
if wondering about the high power, it wasn't the only one with about 500 hp, and it even had the 4wd system, and even quite comfy interiors (considering the car it is). the only thing owners seriously complain about is the heavy clutch.
the F40 is a car not suitable for an everyday use, but those are two very different kind of cars.

Well it may look like you could use it every day, but I think the Murcielago still has to come a long way to be really usable.

Yes the styling may have been tamed, but everything else remanis there. It's wider than the average european road, it has a massive 6.5 litre V12, it's four wheel drive system isn't very clever, it has masses of grip and when you lose it there's no way you are going to get it back in line. You're going to crash and die.

The Murcielago is the last old school supercar. It goes very fast, but it isn't really refined or clever. Which is good.

The styling of the standard Murcie is tame, the LP640 looks much more agressive...

And yes, being unrefined is what a Lamborghini should be... It gives you the "Thrill of driving" like what you get from classic lambos...
