Murcielago, Lamborghini Miura, Countach and Diablo meet each other. Before the Lamborghini Aventador opens the next chapter of the V12, we look back again. In a normal engine family meeting Bolognese - around Sant Agata so loud, fast and wild.
I will go back on the road, will sing again - not nice, but violently and loudly. Presented by Serge Gainsbourg as a soundtrack of the Lamborghini V12 family. Fast, wild and erotic. As well as Gainsbourg. Smoky, versoffen, politically incorrect - and yet he has had them all. Maybe because he has lit the candle on both sides and paid with early death.
Contrary to the tenacious V12 engines which ennobled the Lamborghini-top models to what they are: difficult predictable nature. The 1968 ran warm is just, as Lamborghini lit the first stage: the Lamborghini Miura. As a rolling chassis at the Turin Motor Show. Plate frame plus across built-in V12 riddled with a monocoqueahnlichen. That was enough for some to make blank purchase order. Hi, we are talking about 1966.
The everyday life was largely black and white, designer Gandini mid-twenties, when he formed a body that looked like Bardot and Ekberg together. In the driver's neck, twelve cylinder trompeteten in the Lamborghini Miura. If the choke schnalzten, flame pillars from the intake funnels shot sometimes.
The coolie in the overall would be char Euro 5-Homologatoren. At that time klampften Hendrix and Joplin, Lena today lullert. We Board conclude - the Lamborghini Miura. Ergonomics in the only longitudinally adjustable chairs fit slim, 1.80 metres. The twelve cylinder rocheln is warm, you know not whether the connecting rod really crank on a common shaft, or deliberately contradict the circuit using Gruppchenbildung. Perfect within, mechanical fine sense? That's for people who on the greeting from the kitchen, around nuckeln and say with eyes closed "mhhh".
Lamborghini directly have the main course: a full, steaming plate. We previously with big eyes, the cutlery in the hand. The Miura rocks. And you know professionals: If you caught a well maintained copy where all suspension points there sit, where they belong, then goes to the mid-engine sports as he looks.
Better than expected. Yellow Lamborghini Miura SV assumes clean gas, is properly straight, directs a without will. And only the tonics sound in the gas pedal and take away. Not too loud, always authentic. That the shifting of a 1, 5-meter rods run, swing, while we when looking in the rearview mirror on the cross the four-liter V12 intoxicated they almost fine us. A time machine which reduced distance from the 1970s as well as the professional journalistic.
In the Lamborghini Countach change so quickly in view of this, the question emerging, whether designer Marcello Gandini made at some point ever a model of Miura and one of the Lamborghini Countach on the table, heavy Barolo in addition, and after a deep SIP to himself has written: man, you're good. If he does not say it, say it: man, the Gandini was good. Who such things out skin, worthy of a sports car Halo. If also because clarity, space and ergonomics are not the price before design, not just the primary virtues of mid-engine animals of Lamborghini.
Probably, technicians Dallara in the Lamborghini Miura would no longer posted today also the tank on the front axle. The wacky wheel load changes depending on the water level brought already seasoned pilots in sweat. The precision is acceptable for full tank bubble, in the course of the ride, she leans in the vague. So anything you wish in confronting an engine cattle strong over 350 HP. Also exact Lamborghini PS information are so believable but similar wild as Berlusconi's vows, the reality.
The Lamborghini Countach required from some his pilots in the departure into the modern age. Beginners should have at least a two plus in the gymnastics and much goodwill of to casually arranged ergonomics, rudimentary existing processing quality, as well as non-existent all-round visibility. The LP in the name stands for longitudinal posterior, the V12 is in the Lamborghini Countach so not more transverse and longitudinal in the fuselage, the Palms remain dry even at higher speed, because straight erection can surprisingly well the Countach.
Furthermore, you can the 5, 2-liter V12 of Lamborghini Countach anniversario response and Rotary joy no slouch himself. No wonder: Given lax emissions regulations he may gargle still freely with super. So we head gelehntem on the vorwitzigen side panels frame by the Emilia Romagna, feel flundern as part of the machine, appreciate the ordinary suspension and make an imaginary cross at the special request of power steering.
Turns which create transpiration. Joy, however, is the total freedom from pain in the interior design of Countach. The kast-cockpit could come from a dump truck, the processing can be still air upwards. Air, good keyword: You there by small sliding window, which will not really increase the appeal to squat, on a sunny day in the horizontal front window. But just from the concentration of incompatible hardening the Countach draws its appeal.
The jump to the Lamborghini Diablo could be hardly any larger. With ABS and sophisticated engine electronics hitting the bridge to the third millennium, and the last series, the Lamborghini Diablo 6.0 SE drives too. Ordinary quality, body and interior from carbon fiber, combined with leather and aluminium, clean led backdrop of the circuit, as well as contemporary operating forces bring this supercar at eye level to the present. Without is delivering.
In the last series, the V12 with 6 L engine puts out and feels too. Solid and powerful, with lithe manners than its predecessors. Okay, they have expelled the Lamborghini Diablo the very snotty, but still he gets out the Rocky soundtrack. The changes also not, as Audi takes over and presents the Lamborghini Murcielago.
Designer Donckerwolke connected continues the tradition, brings an infernal detail with the retractable side gills. The all-wheel drive guarantees traction the more generous space in the Alcantara cave prevent heartburn. A pretty crude Klopper still remains the great Lamborghini Murcielago. Widerspenstiger this purpose, because parking remains stiff a hard thing, the Steering, the tyre temperature sensitive.
Cold rubber, well, hot on driving oha! Braking late, give dry, hard cover. Understeer? If it fits, hardly. Then SV accelerated longitudinal and transverse, that the air informed even professionals. No matter, mainly of the V12 sings always still violently and loudly.
