Lamborghini Murcielago Crashes in Poland [w/Video]

After all those recent Ferrari accidents, it's time for Poland to claim a Lamborghini – a matte grey Murcielago, to be precise.

According to CarScoop tipster Adam, the accident took place in the center of Wroclaw, which is the largest city in western Poland, on Sunday afternoon.

It's not clear whether the driver of the Murcielago lost control of the Italian supercar or as some reports have suggested, that he...couldn't decide if he wanted to continue straight or go towards the tunnel. Either way, he smashed into the brick ledge destroying the car.

Toyota MR2 Poses as a Lamborghini Murcielago

Over the years, we have seen the Toyota MR2 falling into the hands of numerous kit car makers who have used the Japanese sports model as a base for the creation of all sorts of replicas.

Among other clones, the mid-engine MR2 has been transformed into a Ferrari Enzo, a Ferrari 460 Modena Spider, a Ferrari F430 Spider, a strange looking creation from Japan called the DragStar F1 Dragon, a Gumpert Apollo and believe it or not, even a Ford Mustang Eleanor.

Cop Doesn't Like the Sounds of a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 in Monaco

Exotic supercars like the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 are flashy, fast and of course, loud, sometimes too much for their own good, especially when their owners have opted for aftermarket goodies such as a more hardcore exhaust system to enhance their character.

Sure, most of us petrol heads wouldn't mind hearing the wonderful sounds of a howling V12 engine on the street, but that does not mean that others will or have to agree.

It Came From eBay: Lamborghini Murcielago Kit Car with Camry V6

Usually, our eBay segments consist of Mercury Cougars covered in Bugatti livery or Peugeot 406's vaguely transformed into Ferrari F430's. This on the other hand, is for lack of a better word, pretty impressive.

This Lamborghini Murcielago clone is as close to the real thing in the looks department as we’ve ever seen from most replica models of the sort. Like any kit car though, there are a few downsides. For example, the performance numbers are not anywhere near close to the real thing.

DMC Remembers the Lamborghini Murcielago with New M-GT Package

You can't get a new Lamborghini Murcielago –at least not from the factory- but for those that already own the Aventador's predecessor, German tuner DMC has readied a new performance and styling program.

DMC says it starts by removing the V12 engine from the Italian supercar and performing a series of modifications that include among other things, the addition of 12 unique single intake throttle plates instead of 6, new gasoline pumps and lines, an ECU optimization and a custom exhaust system.

DMC Presents a Lamborghini Murcielago LP670 SV-Style Rear Wing for the Gallardo

Not all supercar makers tend to the special requests of customers. Such was the case of a Chinese owner of a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 who approached the Italian automaker in order to fit his car with the rear wing of a Murcielago LP670 SuperVeloce (SV).

Lamborghini denied the request, even though money was reportedly not the problem. The unnamed Chinese owner then approached German tuning firm DMC for a custom solution.

When the Sounds of a Lamborghini Murcielago's V12 Piss Off Pedestrians [NSFW]

As strange as it may sound –pun intended- to us gearheads, there are some normal people out there that are not only indifferent about the acoustic properties of a Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640's screaming V12, but will also throw a fit if someone dares to rev the engine on a public street…

This episode took place on the busy streets of London when a by-stander asked the driver of Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640 to rev the V12 engine for the camera.
