Lamborghini Murcielago
(from Lamborghini Press Release) In the late afternoon of October 5th 1879, after a fierce fight in the arena of Cordoba, a bull named Murciélago from Joaquin del Val di Navarra's farm, had his life spared by the famous matador Rafael Molina "Lagartijo". This was a very rare occurrence in bullfighting, and an honour accorded only to those bulls that have shown exceptional courage and spirit in the arena. And Murciélago was indeed such a bull. He was subsequently given to the breeder Don Antonio Miura, and went on to father a formidable line of fighting bulls that extends right down to the present day. The Lamborghini Murciélago is 2-seater, 2-door coupé (with the now familiar gull-wing doors) based on the traditional Lamborghini layout: mid-mounted V12 engine, typical Lamborghini transmission with the gearbox mounted in front of the engine and the rear differential integrated into the engine unit, permanent four-wheel drive with central viscous coupler. Mazda RX-8
Mazda unveiled the RX-8 at the 2001 Tokyo Motor Show. The new Mazda RX-8 is the company's new-generation halo model following the demise of the RX-7. The RX-8 marks the return of the notorious rotary engine to the United States. The twin-rotor rotary engine is a Mazda trademark, as no automaker has dared to try out the rotary. The rotary engine was developed by German engineer Dr. Felix Wankel decades ago and fine-tuned by Mazda all these years.
