DMC Remembers the Lamborghini Murcielago with New M-GT Package

You can't get a new Lamborghini Murcielago –at least not from the factory- but for those that already own the Aventador's predecessor, German tuner DMC has readied a new performance and styling program.

As strange as it may sound –pun intended- to us gearheads, there are some normal people out there that are not only indifferent about the acoustic properties of a Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640's screaming V12, but will also throw a fit if someone dares to rev the engine on a public street…

Nevertheless, this is a challenge you never get tired of seeing, especially when you have new opponents.
