by AutoBlog (Oct, 2012)As this reworked competition gearbox meshed with the bi-turbo M158 6.0-liter V12 from Mercedes-Benz AMG in Auto mode, feisty Sport mode or full-on Launch Control, I was amazed that I wasn't beaten up more.

Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster

- 2004
- 632 HP 6.5L
- 211 mph
by MotorTrend (Mar, 2007)Turn-in is sharp and linear, with good steering feel (love that small, suede-wrapped wheel...) and the AWD helps the front end stay pinned.
