Been a fan of the Murc since it came out. Hopefully the refresher will just keep it current, rather than 'Gallardofying' it.

Though I still like the Diablo more more and most of all....

Yep, most of that info is true, however the new model wont be out till 2007 model year, or the end of 2006. No significant changes for the 2006 year. Just some new colors and etc.

All 2005 Murci's have been sold out for sometime now. They've been taking orders for the 2006 for about a month now.

From a Lambo Forum...
Hi there my name is Jack I have recently gone to Sant Agata Bolognese to see the future upgrades, the Murcièlago will change the front bumper and the back, as well as the pipes, it will probably have a glass engine bonnet as an option the engine will have more horsepower and will upgrade from 6.2 to probably 6.5 and a lot of carbon fiber as option in the interior. but they assured me that the new car will not be presented before 2007.

The Gallardo will also be getting a Convertible version sometime next year as well with similar improvements as the Murci.

Rumors floating around on the street are 6.5L with 630hp is being developed to act as an engine to hold off hp hungry owners who are waiting for the new beast which Lambo says might have around 700hp. A GT model is in the works for both the Murci and Gallardo(which means more power ), RWD models, a 530hp Gallardo upgrade also in the works and the possiblity of a 3rd model, but that wont arrive before 2009.
