I like that, not your average 962. Livery is a bonus.

I've always thought that was a great Livery! Nice add!

There was so much diversity with different body shapes on the 962, it great that Spark is Will to do all of them. I’m sure this will be popular.

That’s very attractive! Glad you like it Julio I've always thought that was a great Livery! Nice add! And you be right Jerry. Cheers There was so much diversity with different body shapes on the 962, it great that Spark is Will to do all of them. I’m sure this will be popular. There was and it is. I agree and we should expect to see them both in mine and your thread

The Japanese Lamborghini Owners Club JLOC first outing at Le Mans in their Murcielago was in 2006 where they qualified 34th but were not classified after 283 laps as they didn't cross the line. 2007 saw them qualify 43rd and be the first retirement on the second lap when a driveshaft failed and after a year off they returned in 2009, qualifying 55th and last and again they suffered driveshaft failure on the 2nd lap. 2010 saw the team return with a new Murcielago LP670 for the driving trio of Atsushi Yogo, Koji Yamanishi & Hiroyuki Iiri who qualified 53rd but whilst they did get further than the second lap they bumped along at the back of the field gaining places through attrition before in the 19th hour after 138 laps the gearbox failed.
Spark - Lamborghini Murcielago LP670 R-SV - 2010 Le Mans 24 Hours - A.Yogo, K.Yamanishi & H.Iiri - DNF

The Dutch Audi owners club gets you a free cup of coffee and a piece of cake at meetings. The Japanese Lambo club go racing. I guess their owners pay slightly higher membership fees. Looks sinister in matt black. I guess its looks didn’t help it finish... very nice model though.

I always thought this was a cool looking car with its carbon fiber body panels. Nice add!

You have to admire their perseverance, considering they only just got in 24 Hours in total over 4 years! A good model to have.

I have always pictured the Murci as a really big car, not sure how it compares to its contemporaries but it is not a car that I saw being a race car. But there it is and it looks way better than I thought it would. The white paint is very tasteful.

I can remember the atmosphere at LM when these Lamborghini's turned up. The expectation was keen. It all turned very sour so very quickly. Real shame as I was hoping for a much greater performance.

Does doesn't it but no it was still all too much for the transmission

Thanks Jerry You have to admire their perseverance, considering they only just got in 24 Hours in total over 4 years! A good model to have. Yes you do. Imagine the cost as well! I can remembering seeing some of these Lamborghini’s run, albeit briefly, so this one is also on my shopping list. It does seem they made either brief or not particularly fast appearances and looked good doing it I have always pictured the Murci as a really big car, not sure how it compares to its contemporaries but it is not a car that I saw being a race car. But there it is and it looks way better than I thought it would. The white paint is very tasteful. It is a big car. Ask it's transmission. Not a natuarl racer i'm thinking Cool! A Lamborghini with numbers! They are out there, just not too many until the dawn of the Gallardo I can remember the atmosphere at LM when these Lamborghini's turned up. The expectation was keen. It all turned very sour so very quickly. Real shame as I was hoping for a much greater performance. I bet it was and a bit of shame really. Big heavy car that wasn't really built for 24 hours of flat out
