My First V12 Lamborghini Experience Was This Insane Murcielago SV!

One of the all time greats. I'd have one of these over the Aventador SV. This is a complete monster

[@autoexpression3312]

I remember watching this on top gear in 2010 racing against the SLR 772, thinking "what a machine"

It really is truly amazing. Bucket list kind of stuff.

"what a machiiiiiiiiine" - Jeremy Clarkson voice

[@larssonk22]

great ep kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZbHoKycgKiSors I'd love the SV but I'd take the SLR 722, it was the perfect marriage of McLaren and Mercedes engineering, unique for its time

[@zXPeterz14]

Watching that episode as a kid and seeing the bright orange lambo racing through the desert was when i first realised that i loved cars

[@exoticsautoclub9329]

SLR 722 over it for sure!!

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

It’s a glorious experience isn’t it, my wife bought me a drive lots of different cars at thruxton thing for my 30th birthday back in 2005, I drove an RX8, SLK350, F360, 911 turbo and the crowning glory a merciélago which I think at that time had 600 horsepower, the 911 turbo was outstanding but the Lamborghini was on another planet. I grinned my way around the 4 laps I had in it and my wife says I didn’t stop grinning for a week. Things have moved on leaps and bounds since then, especially when it comes to flappy paddle gearboxes but what a car.

[@SharpblueCreative]

A chap I know who lives just up the road from me has the LP670 SV - it’s a beast. His is all black and menacing - his is left hand drive but it does live in the U.K.- There are a few videos of Glen’s Murcielago on KZbin, even Shmee follows it in Piza, Italy in one of his early videos. By far my favourite Lamborghini - though I don’t fit in it being 6’5” - you can find it by searching V12WOO

[@rafiulhaque8064]

I do believe a manual gearbox was offered but only six or so were actually produced. If they do go up for sale i would imagine they will be at a heffty premium.

I was planning on writing something really witty, but all I can seem to muster is, you lucky, lucky bastard😂😂😂

[@DauntingGecko]

Best looking Lamborghini ever. Aventador is too fussy and too many awkward lines...the murci sv is spot on. Great video.

[@Wayne.R]

I love this car. Was at Goodwood a few years ago and sat in one. The Murci SV was my then 'dream car' which has been upsided by the Aventador SVJ. I love a V12 Lambo...Just subscribed to Richard's channel too.

[@giovannibinaghi9729]

Jayemm, there are also around 6 manuals sv for the whole world

[@palmermonsen9098]

thats a dream car right there

[@sandysinclair6777]

4 left 2 destroyed , last one that came up for sale was in Canada at 1m USD

[@_financial_regret_]

If I could afford one, I couldn't say no. Manual SVs are absolutely astonishing

[@maxvinzi]

This is going to be a good one

[@mikklustmets4239]

Manual (and wingless) Murcielago SV is probably must have in "Dream 5 car garage".

[@mso008]

100%

[@AntoniusTyas]

I like the wing. Murc SV without the wing somehow felt like getting a bald haircut. Weirdly I don't feel the same about GT3 Touring, though. Just me being weird perhaps.

[@valy11s65]

May as well just go for a manual LP640 then 🤷‍♂️

[@And4224]

Murcielago SV is the only thing i want in my life 🧡

At just around the 9 minute mark you can see that this is indeed a very serious car reviewing channel. With absolutely no fun involved just like the Queen intended.

Awesome video - Love the Murcielago SV 😍

[@mattpickering6522]

Wow what a machine, dream car. Never seen you so nervous, massive respect

[@tim1polman]

That car is simply epic. Really cool. Good review too. I also think that the colors of these are actually a safety feature because the visibility is so bad. ^^ At least other road users will be warned.

[@samlovescars34]

James, as my favorite car reviewer, I'm shocked you didn't know that the sharpened windows are for cutting grapefruit, oranges, etc. into halves. Many people also use the windows for slicing meats and cheeses. Have a great day!

LP is actually an abbreviation for longitudinale posteriore, that means the engine is mounted longitudinally and behind the drivers

[@toadscrote123321]

One passed me on the motorway last week and my first thought was "my god, that's wide. I wouldn't fancy driving that on a B road". So I totally get your apprehension on those narrow roads.

[@sportzntouring]

OMG! I'm in love with that car! Even if the windows want to cut your arms of 🤣🤣

[@jonathanpatterson6768]

A true Lambo SHOULD scare you. Dramatic looks, Intimidating to drive, and the chance it could burst into flames whenever you least expect. A thrilling monster.

[@draig97]

The Murcielago SV is the final version of the car that had me fall in love with cars, this review sounded like everything I ever dreamed the car to be, great review, currently searching how to sell my organs to rent one for 5 minutes, will settle for a Gen 1 Murcielago with the twin exhaust.

[@anyau]

the greatest Lamborghini ever made.

Richard has an excellent taste. The Murc SVJ & 430 Scud are peak early-2000s SMG performance cars.

Amazing video on an amazing car, Love seeing that orange and black beauty tear down the roads captured by your filmmaking skills.

[@nssherlock4547]

A buddy had a Merci, he really avoided driving it without a wingman, did many 100 k's in the passenger seat, not till he was about to trade up to an Aventador, and needed to borrow my RS6 Avant, did i get to finally drive it. Definitely takes a long drive, to slow the heart down, and actually enjoy driving it. After driving both, they are chalk and cheese to one another, Merci - Aventador.

Oh how time flies! I remember Richard Hammond driving one of these in Dubai back when they were new. Was certain no car would exceed it. How wrong I was.

[@beauchamphuberville1355]

Seen an SV in he flesh and the heat off the back was hilarious in town. Never seen a normal car kick out that much heat visibly. Nottingham town centre

[@QwertiusMaximus]

They probably put Reverse button all the way out there so you don't accidentally hit reverse when you try to change driving mode.

[@sonicbooomboy]

Saw a Murcielago once - so unbelievably low and flat, flying saucer-like. Sounded like a jet fighter at about 20mph. A Gallardo was following and it went by with a whisper

[@lolmeercatz10]

haha i wish i'd got hold of you earlier to do the review on my car since this is where i live! Will have to keep an eye out for the SV, think i mentioned to you before one of my neighbors has a veyron, wonder if it's the same guy?

[@henryhol8538]

Another brilliant video! What a dynamic drive. I believe the engine was used first in the 1964 Lamborghini 350 GT, a Car Ferruccio created to show Ferrari how to build a Grand Tourer that actually works (he had a lot of problems with his Ferrari and found Enzo unsympathetic). The Miura that appeared later on in that decade was virtually a skunk-works project created by some of his very young engineers (Including Gian Paolo Dallara) which started off the tend of the Marque creating wild Supercars.

[@aust8243]

Stuff of dreams! Great video jay ! Bet you see why Jamiroquai has them!!

[@Matt-go7ss]

300k and a blank button? What a wonderful wonderful car. It's what I expect lambos to be, it's a poster car.

[@thedetailingdoctor5746]

Mmmm nice nice car. I’d love to see the Diablo gt if you ever get the chance to film and drive one. Saying that the Murci Sv is second best for sure

[@TheTrickytrick88]
