The Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster spreads its wings in Batman Begins

The Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster will have its on-screen debut in Batman Begins, directed by Christopher Nolan and produced by the Warner Bros Entertainment Inc.

In the film, billionaire Bruce Wayne (Batman), played by the actor Christian Bale, can be seen driving the Lamborghini supercar during his private life, when he does not use his Batmobile.

Powered by a 12 cylinder, 6.2 litre, 580 hp engine, the Murcielago Roadster can be equipped with a manual gearbox or with a robotized e-gear system. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and it reaches the maximum speed of 320 km/h.

The Lamborghini was a natural choice for Batman, as the way its doors open perfectly matches the image of the superhero speading his wings. Furthermore, the name Murcielago means bat in Spanish.

The film was released in the USA and the rest of the world from June 15th.
