Volume 5 of our new supersized magazine is here. May 4, 2021
A little more than a year ago (a week or so after all our lives turned upside down), I had a conversation with
Road & Track executive editor Dan Pund about a trip we both took in 2012 to a very remote, and very exquisite, hotel on the border of Utah and Arizona. It’s called Amangiri, and the trip has become a thing of lore in the car-magazine world. We were there for only a night, between road tests of the 2013 Range Rover, but we both have vivid memories of the breakfast, a practically divine interpretation of huevos rancheros. It was almost almost beyond description.
The Murciélago has been in Lamborghini s 16 United States dealerships since December 2001. Since then, 200 have been sold. When a dealer places an order, the car is air-freighted from Italy in a sealed container and can be disrupting American schoolchildren in as few as 10 days. There are two options only: pearlescent paint ($2500) and a nav system ($3500).
Lamborghinis are famous for being as fragile as spring ice, so it was of some concern that our test car showed 15,500 miles as much mule as bull. It s survived 35 road tests, asserted Lamborghini tech adviser Ken McCay, who is not Italian. You re the only guys who broke it [last summer, when a universal joint pulled free in the shift linkage]. We broke it this time, too, when the whole shift lever snapped off at the root. The car came with the license AL 147 , a reference to Automobili Lamborghini engineering project No. 147. Maybe project No. 148 will be devoted to shift-linkage reinforcement.
