Auto, MOST EXPENSIVE
Top Ten Most Expensive Cars In The World
#9 Lamborghini Murcielago = $279,900
The #9 Most Expensive Car in the World Fetches a price tag of $279,900. This super car stands as the most powerful road car engine in the history of expensive automobiles. Introduced as the successor to the Diablo,Lamborghini Murcielago is a two-seater, two-door coupe, beautifully proportioned, exuding power and style.
Pace, performance and style is what comes to mind when you think of Lamborghini Murcielago. Gripping cutting-edge technology, this sports car produced by Italian automaker, Automobili Lamborghini, stands dynamic, offering incredible levels of comfort and luxury.
Designed to cover great distance effortlessly, the coupe is a perfect choice for the transcontinental trip. The Murcielago sports a 6.2-liter version of the legendary Lamborghini V12 engine along with six speed sequential automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. It also features a rear spoiler that can be raised to an angle of 70 degrees. The rear features two active intakes for the engine cooling air.
The external bodywork panels are made from carbon fiber with the exception of the steel roof and door panels. What’s more are the side mirrors that fold in to improve aerodynamics and side scoops that automatically open to the needed size to allow just the right amount of air for engine cooling. The wing mirrors can be folded electrically and are mounted on long support arms, so that the driver can see beyond the rear wings.
Based on the traditional Lamborghini layout, it comes with mid mounted V12 engine. This layout, successfully employed by Lamborghini for more than 30 years affords a favorable weight distribution with clear advantages for traction, braking and handling. What is most appreciating about the car is that it has longer lifetime sustainability and is much lighter to encourage smooth ride.
Well if this model seems insufficient, you can opt for open top version called the Murcielago Roadstar that features almost similar performance to the coupe with a more aggressive rear flank and off course higher price tag.
