2011 Lamborghini Murcielago

The 2009 Lamborghini Murcielago ranks 1 out of 8 Exotic Sports Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 8 published reviews and test drives of the Lamborghini Murcielago, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

The Lamborghini Murcielago flies like a bat out of hell. While other supercars may offer more comfortable accommodations, few can match its lustful design and superior performance dynamics.

Introduced in 2001, the Murcielago LP640 is the successor to Lamborghini's much celebrated Diablo. It is named for a legendary nineteenth-century Spanish bull that withstood an unprecedented 24 thrusts of a matador's sword. True to its namesake, the Murcielago combines a muscular and aggressive design with knock'em dead performance capabilities. "Snake-belly low and reverse-cowgirl sexy, this car ... is the most heinously irresponsible, developmentally arrested, awesomely cool sports car the world has ever known," writes the Los Angeles Times. "This $405,000 hypercar is, in short, a great big booger flicked in the face of respectability." Indeed, the Murcielago's 631-horsepower V12 engine wasn't engineered for the faint of heart.

If you're in the market for an exotic supercar, be sure to add the Ferrari F430 to your short list. While the Murcielago is more aggressively styled, the F430's Formula 1 inspired race technology makes it hard to ignore -- especially the high-powered Scuderia trim.
