Exterior:
The Murcielago has some special characteristic, for example, the Mucielago may recall memories of the automaker’s Countach, in order to precede the Diablo in Lamborghini’s model lineage. At the mean time, the carbon fiber was used for the coupe’s bodywork and built over a frame made of high-strength steel tubing. Weight distribution is 42 percent in the front and 58 percent at the rear. Aluminum-alloy wheels hold 18-inch Pirelli tires that are wider in back.

Mounted on long arms that let the driver see beyond the prominent rear fenders, the mirrors can be folded back electronically. A number of visible air intakes and vents help cool the V-12 engine and the brakes. Two active intakes at the rear use a Variable Airflow Cooling System that permits changes in the aperture to accommodate different driving conditions. The rear spoiler can move into three distinct positions.

For the drivers, they can see beyond the prominent rear fenders easier because of mounting on long arms, and the mirrors can also be folded back by itself. The visible air intakes and vents help cool the V-12 engine and the brakes. For accommodating the driving conditions, two active intakes at the rear which use a Variable Airflow Cooling System can permits changes.
Ad Personam adds a new exterior color on the Mucielago coupe and roadster: A light blue shade inspired by polar ice, according to Lamborghini.
