I'm a HUGE Fan of the Murci Roadster..But Black doesn't do it justice.
Don't get me wrong it looks great ! But Black doesn't accentuate the lines like an Orange,Yellow or Monterey Blue would.

Ever go out to a club and wonder why all the Fat chicks wear Black ?? It doesn't show there Curves

Jeff,I agree with you 100%.Black hides the beautiful lines that the roadster has.You want the lines to be seen and appreciated.Lighter colors show the lines especially yellow.The yellow really shows the lines and the lower profile of the Roadster.

I guess that was the biggest flaw it could drive by you and you'd miss it, just no shape in black.

Yes I know Mark very well, for about 18 yrs. I
worked on many of his Lambos when he lived in Houston. He's a great guy and quite in the know!

I agree that the interior does look bland and black is not a good color for the Lambos. It hides the shape and lines if the car.
I think the brace is not the best looking but a very light weight alternative for rigidity.

How did a 96 Roadster do so well?

That Roadster was beautiful, had chrome wheels and gold lug nuts. Even I voted for it. I guess yours is like that too though.

Default Re: Murcielago Roadster Roll Out ...

Thanks for the pictures !! I was thinking about it on Saturday, wishing
I could be there!

I'm a NUT on the Murcy Roadster! I'm going to have to get one!
Agree with you on interior. I'd add some color as well.

I liked the combination on the 2004 Geneva Show car. And the "Rides" show
color combo was nice.

Did someone say a Silver Detroit Intro Murcy Roadster? The original prototype
there was yellow with a blandish greyish (black?) interior.

How about the Concorso Italiano gold (copper?) with two-tone green and
black (grey?) interior. The green driver's side looked a little too-wild to me.

I like the engine brace in carbon fiber. Heard that carbon fiber was optional and that the stock one is in steel or something? I wonder what color the
standard brace is? I like the carbon fiber.

I may have to go to So. CA in a few weeks. Hopefully there will be one in the
area then.

Don't get me wrong though, I LOVE all Lambos !! It's nice to be on
this forum! Unfortunately though, I don't have a dealer near me, but
maybe relatively close in May of next year if the dealership in Seattle
that Roy's been talking about opens.

Ray,

SE30 guy here, 90/95 max in second gear, later in the day, after the rain, they let us back on...top speed in 3rd was about 110 (before braking, actual "end of 3rd" is about 125), the track isn't long enough to get us to 170...but, then again, that's not the point of the track event...it was a great event, hope to see you next time!

John

p.s. I agree on the bracing in the Murcie Roadster, it is distracting, a glass cover would be a nice touch
