@patina.research The Lamborghini Murciélago R GT performed mediocre in FIA GT, got smoked by the Corvettes in ALMS, entered the 24 Hours of Le Mans three times without ever finishing, and in Super GT it got eaten alive by the Japanese GT300 cars. And guess what? I don’t care. I still love it because it looks like a menacing fighter jet and produces nothing but eargasms from its pipes. Developed by Reiter Engineering for FIA GT competition, the Murciélago R GT was powered by a naturally aspirated 6.0 liter V12 and converted to rear wheel drive. It competed in FIA GT, ALMS, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and later inspired the RG 1 for Japan’s Super GT championship. Today, it remains one of Lamborghini’s most iconic race cars.
