2005 Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster

The open-top Murciélago with minimal structural compromise thanks to Audi engineering resources. The 572 horsepower V12 provided identical performance to the coupe while the powered soft top offered open-air drama. The Roadster proved the Murciélago platform's fundamental strength and quickly became the model's most desirable body style.

E-gear (automated manual) hydraulic systems require maintenance and eventual failure. Clutch wear expensive to address. Air conditioning systems struggle in extreme heat. Electronics more complex than previous generations. Front suspension bushings wear. Exhaust manifold cracking possible. Brake feel can be inconsistent. However, generally much more reliable than previous Lamborghini V12s thanks to Audi quality control.

Manual gearbox (rare and highly valuable), carbon ceramic brakes, carbon fiber interior, lifting system (for speed bumps), navigation system, rear parking camera, Alcantara interior, special colors, Q-citura stitching, full factory options list.
