The current 2006 Lamborghini family collection consists of the especially designed Murciélago LP640 and the Murciélago Roadster, both of which are speed engaged, middle engined two seaters, and with basic all-wheel drive systems. The cars’ styling is entirely the tireless efforts of Belgian designer Luc Donckerwolke.
BF Performance is established, and founded in Zug, Switzerland, and is ultimately devoted to customizing Lamborghinis and client’s vehicles in every fo
rm and fashion at the “Home of special Lamborghinis”; specializing and characterizing them to the customer’s exact wishes. BF Performance are also tuning specialist, and they heighten the active contours of the vehicle, and they also outfit the entire car with a wide range of body-styling essentials. The streamlined, racing car flamboyance is created by the copious use of carbon fibre to the body of the Lamborghini, offering the Murciélago a wealthy stature on the track.
The readers of the German car magazine “Auto Zeitung” loved the car to such extent that they voted it into first place in the “Tuning models over 50,000 euros” group in the magazine’s “Auto Trophy 2005” competition, accomplishing the lone double-figure result. And at the “2006 Paris Tuning Show”, the BF Performance Murciélago was selected as “Car of the Show” by “France’s Channel Six”.
But remember folks, this vehicle is no average Joe’s ride; it is a super-car brand, and a super-car customization. Because before you can even begin to wrap your mind around its lavishness and utter beauty, any part of these carbon fibre upgrades is nothing without the Lambo itself. And that costs about US$550,000 for just the model Murciélago LP640 itself, and the Murciélago Roadster fetches about US$710,000. So dream away average Joe, dream away.
While the Lamborghini Murciélago is namesake is a bovine who was shown mercy by a matador after a bull fight, may just be a completely impractical vehicle, but it's an insanely fast car introducing a 6.2-litre V12 engine, which engulfs you totally in that famous Italian style that is simply heaven.

In the front of the car, a carbon fibre spoiler decreases the lift of the Murcielago. And at the back-end of the Murciélago, the reduction is executed by a diffuser and an effective rear-deck, carbon fibre spoiler. BF Performance embellishes the sides of the car with a unique pair of side-sills. By merely installing these five body streamlining elements, it conveyed the Murciélago closer to the look FIA-GT Lamborghini. Even further carbon fibre trimmings; the translucent engine bonnet with a glass inlay, headlight covers, a special exhaust tailpipe covering, boot lid and bonnet, and white indicator lights on either side to complete the sportingly perfected facade.
