"- Will you be driving the Batpod sir?" "- In the middle of the day Alfred? Not very subtle." "- The Lamborghini then... Much more subtle..."

3:51: “Top speed is two hundred an... tell you what let’s find out!” You gotta love Jeremy Clarkson.

My favorite car of all time. This car to this day is still my dream car. I miss this era of TV, Cars and Top gear. The world felt like it had so much potential left in it and Tech was just starting to be what we know it as today. Somewhere around 2010-2012, it felt like the world changed so drastically, so fast. Cars are fast and so damn impressive, but they have lost a bit of their specialness compared to cars of the 90s and 2000s. particularly mid 2000s.

I still want a bright yellow one like the one from nfs hot pursuit 2.

Top Gear at its peak...the filters, the music, camera work and video themes...simply amazing 👌

I think Jeremy is the only guy mad enough to move his hand through the wheel at 207mph

Just watched the countach/diablo video with clarkson from the 90s. He did the exact same test with a mk2 GTI. Huh.

The story with the falcon: The falcon is the fastest creature on earth (reach 320 km/h when going down to catch a prey). 320 km/h is around 207 mph, which is the top speed of the murcielago.

"Top speed is - " "Tell' yo whot, let's find out" That's the spirit

The Murcie SV is probably the best looking sportscar for me

Even with the LP670-4 and the Aventador SV out this still is my favourite car. This was the car I grew up with, the car that made me realize that cars didn't have to be slow, boring boxes you cram five people into. This was sort of a revelation, it introduced me to a whole new world filled with amazing machines! The LP640 truly has a special place in my heart - hope to see my childhood hero someday soon. :)

This is still my all time favorite Top Gear clip. I fell in love with the Murcielago watching this video. Beautifully done!!

Top Gear USA = No watch Top Gear UK = Watch and like, every time.

omg. hiring a falconer just to get these shots. you guys

Im a 90s baby, so this was the lambo I grew up with

I can't believe it doesn't even have machine guns!

The Most Beautiful Lamborghini ever made, in my opinion. And yes, I've seen all of them.

I honestly think this is the most attractive Lamborghini to be made!

6:00 "you'd need a flappy paddle head to spend that!" xD LOL

This is one of the best sounding car ever. Much better than the aventador.

It's pretty ironic that the manual murcilago's go for around double the price of the paddle shift ones considering it was a £6,250 option

2:11 that sound was un-humanly like

Does I come with the bird?

This was the Lamborghini that was around in my Teen years and I still absolutely love it. It still doesn’t seem like it’s been nearly a decade since the Murcielago went out of production.

I like how they raced the Lamborghini against the golf just like when they reviewed the diablo

2:00 his AC comment always makes me burst out laughing.

One of the greatest cars to be ever made *Period.* It’s not the fastest or the quickest. Not the best around a track Not great in terms of practicality. But still... one of the greatest cars to have ever been made.

This is better looking than the Hurancan and Aventador. Not over done like those cars. the murcuelago is a beautiful car.

That colour combination is just staggering! Holy hell, does this thing still look great!

Brilliant cinematography and editing ... highlighting a magnificent vehicle ...Jeremy's commentary adds understatement to this fine piece .... smell the gas and oil .... hear that engine .... Thank you for this.

Cinematography was excellent here

I first loved the Countach. Then I loved the Diablo. Then I grew up/grew away. Now my Lamborghini love has been quietly growing in the background for years. In 2015 I rented a green Huracan for a half day. Its performance was insane. But it has a v10 and ‘regular’ doors. My work van has a v10 and regular doors. I didn’t love the Huracan. In 2021 I rented an Aventador for a day. It’s performance was insane. And it had scissor doors and the v12. I fell in love. Lately I’ve been looking at used Lamborghinis because my business is doing well and I sold two investment house. The Murcielago is calling me.

"You'd need a flappy-paddle head to spend that" LMAO

i miss top gear :'(

Top gear US couldnt pull off 176mph with the SV... so sad

Thank you for no huge spoilers and air intakes which doest stick out when not needed and 10 exhast pipes and many other things. Its 2019 and still looks elegent. You sir has created a timeless design.

I enjoy listening to Jeremy Clarkson's review. The car sound is just a bonus.

I love when the vents go up makes me think it's faster than a Bugatti.

amazing how the E gear option was + 6k back then ... if you got the manual and saved 6k .. youd be sitting pretty with a 1M car right now .

5:55 "Flappy-paddle gearbox: 6.000£!" Imagine being the idiot that choose that option and now his murci is worth 3/4 of the value of a manual one.

The wings the old V12 the tail lights the sound the scissor doors and the design. Everything is PERFECT.

so he did 207 without breaking a sweat, yet evans didnt even do 200 and ended up nearly having a panic attack?

One of my favorite car reviews of all time. Must be JC's wit, smart video editing, and the Italian sheet metal I continue to admire from afar. And there isn't a better sounding sled out there. Ever. 😎

Imagine going back and telling Jeremy that in a little over a decade, a Dodge would lap the track close to 10 seconds faster than this and he'd be fired over food.

The good old days of top gear this is hands down the best Murcielago review and the car is in my favorite color for this model.

"To show the difference between a fast car, and a Lamborghini" 4:37 Jeremy brought back that line from Top Gear Supercars 1994, he put a Golf GTi against a Countach.

The back of a Murcielago gives me all kinds of nostalgic feelings. That exhaust pipe is just mad

Would prefer this over an aventador

Jeremy Clarkson you are like my hero! No stuff that, you are my hero, even better than batman.

The Murcielago is just an awesome car, gotta luv it =)

Man these old Top Gear episodes had some really great choices of soundtrack. I mean, just in this clip I heard "Light My Way" by Audioslave, "Out of Control" from "The Chemical Brothers", what I think it was a song from NIN (probably one of their 2000's albums) and "Silverfuck" by "The Smashing Pumpkins". The music choice was just right on the spot always.

Have watched this video countless times.. Still gonna watch it again.. Man how do you call that for a review... 2018 and still rocking..best sounding Lambo ever ....

possible the greatest car ever made by Lamborghini...

6250 extra for the automatic… and if you opted out of that option your car would be worth about 2x as much these days. Kind of crazy to think about

Crazy that I come back to watch an old review of an old car many times, but this is one of TG's best.

I love the way lamborghini's sound

Like the "old" Top Gear :D

This was the fastest car without much handling in nfs most wanted!.. ok idk what I'm doing here in 2021..

This car, and episode is one of the best if not THE best of top gear ever made

2021 and still my favorite lambo. Thank you need for speed hp2

Love the very clean styling. Its a call-back to the mid 70's Countach, before they added all the fender flares, spoilers, wings, scoops, etc.

When I was 4 me and my mom would go look at rc cars. When I saw this car on hot pursuit 2 and I found it very attractive. One day I jokingly asked her to buy it for me. She said yes and I thought holy crap I'm getting a murcilago!!!!! And I told all of my friends that I was getting this car. So I get into my moms car after school and I asked where this car is. She told me in the back seat. I thought why is a Lamborghini in the back seat of a GMC Yukon. So I look in the back of the car to see a rc Lamborghini gallardo. So that is what ruined my childhood. But on the bright side my mom owes me 300'000 bucks :)

i can feel that clutch burning up in the launch control

Top gear back in the days was truly professional in every way. The editors were crazy ass good!!! They made it look so interesting to watch..

480p my old nemesis, we meet again

" It has AC it's like being coughed on by a mouse." lol

That roll on in the beginning has been gets me high every time I hear it in the past 6 years

I love that the Drag Race was taken Directly from Old top gear when the Diablo raced the GTi as well.. What a great show.....

Against all odds, this one has aged wonderfully.

Great use of Silverfuck by The Smashing Pumpkins.

People were so spoiled 10-15 years ago; most performance cars had big NA engines, beautiful and elegant designs, manual gearboxes, sounded great and had just the right amount of tech and safety systems. Now you have smaller engines, particulate filters, soft limiters, fake noise and exhaust tips, vulgar and busy designs, more weight and it’s all much more unaffordable. I still can’t believe that the 2023 C63 will be a 4-cylinder hybrid..

It’s crazy that you would have paid a few thousand extra for the flappy paddle gearbox. And now, the manual cars are going for twice the price of the flappy paddle cars.

Miss that car

Jeremy nailed it: surprisingly elegant. Which makes this in my eyes a very special lambo. Always liked the original drawing of the murcielago better than the gallardo even though those were still being made years after murcielagos stopped rolling off the line. Countach forever!

2019 still watching this :)

Love the fact audioslave is in the background

Those who spec without the e gear are laughing now

I'll never forget the first time I saw this clip, still a great review.

the best ever car review hands down both professionalism and comedy are present at the same time

Amazing shots with the falcon. Very impressive!!

0:19 lupe's us placers beat ???

This car is my dream car! Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640

excellent, love the ending

This Murcielago episode put Top Gear UK on top of my favorite TV show. Great production, Love the falcon.

When I hear murcielago I still think of a lime green :)

4:30 Jeremy did the same thing with an old lambo and an old GTI

What a review !! You are a legend.

This has been my dream car since I was a kid, it’s truly amazing

can anyone name the song playing at 0:40 ..... or at least tell me where it's from...

2023 e pra mim ainda é a lambo mais fodastica já feita.

Once again, the BBC is right on time with this ALL NEW clip from an ALL NEW episode. Come on guys!!

I got one of these with a standard transmission salvage, and I’ll say this much: I reckon that whomever said “you can’t buy happiness” has never been behind the wheel of a Lamborghini.

I think evan in 2019 this is still my favourite lamborghini

Does the eagle companion come with the car or do I have to top up?

Still a work of art all these years one and definitely has the best sounding exhaust of any current car

Still come back to this video to motivated me...I need to get this at one point in my life

thank god for youtube rip topgear

Damn it's beautiful, unlike the newer lambos.

Smashing Pumkins sound track at the end

Great review.The Murcielago is one of the best cars of Lambo.Nice design and great perfomance
