Lamborghini Murcielago view

In a continuation of Lamborghini's custom of giving its autos names from the land of bullfighting, the Murcielago was named for a battling bull that survived 28 sword strokes in a 1879 battle in opposition to Rafael "El Lagartijo" Molina Sanchez, at the Coso de los califas bullring in Cordoba, Spain. Murcielago fought with such passion and spirit that the matador decided on to spare its existence, a rare honor. The bull, which originated from Joaquin del Val di Navarra's homestead, was later displayed as an endowment to Don Antonio Miura, a noted nearby raiser; consequently started the famed Miura line of battling bulls, which furnished the name for one of Lamborghini's first terrific autos.
