Last Lambo Murcielago rolls off the line

Wondering what that noise is? That, friends, is the sound of a rotund, overweight female warbling her chubby guts out. It's over: the last ever Lamborghini Murcielago has rolled off the production line, and the fat lady has sung.

The ten-year reign of the cartoon supercar officially came to an end in Sant 'Agata on 5 November, as production number 4,099 - an orange Murcielago SV - rolled out of the gates and to its new home in the custody of somebody Swiss.

Lamborghini made a mighty song and dance, and provided a selection of their most potent V12 supercars to accompany the orange SV out of the gates for its 'last ride', including a 350 GT, Miura, Countach and Diablo.

In salutation, we've cobbled together some pictures for you to ogle, and ogle them you must. Even as the last Murci wakes into life, Lamborghini is preparing for its 'successor, a new automotive legend'...

SV hits 62mph in 3.2 seconds and rockets up to 212mph, like a big fat orange blur.

Monster rear wing helps downforce, increases grip, and is scientifically proven to make you a better, more powerful and more successful human being by 37 per cent.

It was close, but the camel never stood a chance against the SV. Orange makes it go faster.
