Today, courtesy of Simon George @DriversKeepers I get to experience the coolest car from the back of EVO Magazine - the now almost 300,000 mile orange Lamborghini Murcielago. Having been driven by over 8,000 people, crashed multiple times and with barely any original panels remaining, this is the Trigger's Broom of Lamborghinis - but what's it actually like to drive?

Oooooh the Murcielago. This and Diablo were the V12 Lamborghinis of my formative years, and they are rare here in Indonesia. So seeing one is always a special occasion. My dream Murc has got to be a manual LP640 in Giallo Orion or Verde Draco (like the e-Gear unit Jeremy drove in TopGear back in 2007). Would not kick an early 6.2 out of the bed, though... Also, that Murcielago 40th Anniversary Edition was all finished in a turquoise-blue-green shade called Verde Artemis. It's stunning to look at.

This is pinnacle Lamborghini - an early Murcielago. Sadly it’s lost its original tail lights, but still. I’m glad James feels the same about the early ones being the best. Absolutely beautiful with perfect flowing lines and not too many pointy edges. Losing a point here for having the ‘wings’ up which spoil the lines. The sound of the Murcielago is the best of any road car, ever. The race car sounds even better.

I look forward to your future video detailing the latest running costs 👍 I suspect the total will need a good deal of man-maths to justify 😂

Having been born in the mid- to late 90s, I've always held Murciélago in the highest regard among Lamborghinis. It was my 'formative' Lambo, and by this point, I can appreciate it all the more as a wedge of sorts in Lamborghini's history: it pioneers this styling language and is the final V12 Lambo with a manual, while also being the last bastion of the Bizzarrini V12. The SV has to be my favorite incarnation; specifically, with the ducktail spoiler. I love this model in its entirety, though, even the Roadster with its hilariously silly softtop.

Id still have this stunning car in a hearbeat! The owner is literally the ULTIMATE Lambo owner, there can't be another owner in the WORLD thats put as many miles on their car as this LEGEND!!!

Spooky! I was recently trying to wrack my brain to remember the company that I did a driving experience in a black Aston Martin DBS about 13 years ago with (it was a 40th birthday gift). Then, this morning, I was reading an old copy of Vantage (the brilliant Aston Martin magazine) and there, hey presto, was an article on that very car and input from Simon George. For some reason, despite reading Evo back in the day and following the exploits of this Lambo, I never put Simon and 6th Gear together! And now you bring us a video of the Lambo! I'd love to know if the DBS is still with him, or what happened to it. Somewhere I've got the photos of me driving it, but as an Aston Martin lover, that was a day I'll never forget!

The mid to late 00's were my formative years, and I really love cars from that era. It was the era of V10 M5s and RS6s, W12 VWs, E63 AMGs, and a time when the manual supercar wasn't a near extinct species. I also love how cars from that era look, from things like the Ford Fiesta and VW Polo, all the way to the Enzo Ferrari, or this car. It's definetely my favourite "modern" (if I can even call it that lol) Lambo, although I prefer them in yellow, or that light green color. Unfortunately, I'm not in the market for one, right now as a fresh uni graduate, I'm more in the market for a Mondeo, or Passat of the era lol.
