It is hard to see it being a match for the Astons and Corvettes. (Photo: Racecar Engineering) ยป More Photos

Manufacturer: Lamborghini
Classes: GT1
Chassis: Murciélago R-GT
Engine: Lamborghini 5990cc V12 N/A
Fuel: Petrol
Entries: 55
Prediction: DNF

Test day best lap: 4:03.404

Its hard to see that this car is doing anything other than making up the numbers, though the car did run strongly at Spa,
accident damage and pit lane confusion cost it a class win at Spa however. The Murciélago is not an obvious choice for a racecar, the engien and transmission layout is over weight and the centre of gravity is too high.
