"- 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

The Murcie SV is probably the best looking sportscar for me

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

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. :)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Does I come with the bird?

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

2:11 that sound was un-humanly like

Cinematography was excellent here

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

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

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

"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.

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.

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

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.

i miss top gear :'(

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

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.

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. 😎

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 ....

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 .

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

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.

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.....

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..

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

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

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

i can feel that clutch burning up in the launch control

480p my old nemesis, we meet again

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 :)

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..

Fell in love with lp670sv in black many years ago at my local race track

Would prefer this over an aventador

Great use of Silverfuck by The Smashing Pumpkins.

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

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.

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

Like the "old" Top Gear :D

6:18 That is A LOT of warning lights on the gauge cluster.

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

Against all odds, this one has aged wonderfully.

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

I just realized when Jeremy reviewed the Diablo ages ago he also used a Golf GTI as a reference.

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

possible the greatest car ever made by Lamborghini...

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

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

It crazy the pedal shift gearbox was extra back in the day. Car with a standard manual is worth much more today nowadays!

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

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!

I think the 207 readout was obtained on a dyno. Look how fast the needle climbs when it supposedly hits its top speed. Plus the dunsfold aerodrome runway is only about a mile long, whereas several would be needed to achieve its top speed.

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

He defines this one as a 'hypercar' How come that term has changed so much after 7 years, when a sedan can have 1,000 hp and go from 0 to 60 in 2.xx seconds...

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

Whats the name of the song at the start of the drag race? Is it also Audioslave?? Cheers!

The Diablo was my favorite car when i was 3 years old but then came the first gen Murcielago which changed my mind. Then came the Lp640 which changed my mind again. At last the Lp670 was launched and since then nothing changed my mind.

Same Lambo VS GTI he did in '90 with Diablo and MK2 GTI . With same script .

I think evan in 2019 this is still my favourite lamborghini

Had to check the date on this video when it was uploaded because it thought it was uploaded a long time ago since it's not in hd.

I saw one go past me today it was interesting to see and a classic now

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

I love the way lamborghini's sound

I remember first seeing this car in The Dark Knight. Absolutely fell in love with it.

Did anybody else notice around 1:05 Clarkson called it a hyper car? What's this 2002? Is it just me or is that insane? Has that term been around a lot longer than I thought or what? Cause I dont remember it coming about until shit like the Agera or however you spell it came out.

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

I feel like whenever i see these nfsmw 05 cars i feel like its totally indestructible, because nothing happens in the game no matter how fast you crash, but in real life 😣

just realised after just watching clarkson review the diablo on top gear from 1991 he has done the same test against a golf gti.

All time fav the sound of this car is just insane the wings straight classic
