Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster Concept Roof GDG

That is hands down the nicest roof design I have seen for the Murci Roadster

 

RIGHT ON!!!!! thats great looking...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

it looks like it would be a great fitment -- much better than the crazy fabric top that's provided.

quite humbling to some of us mere mortals that a top for this car costs about as much as a daily driver... but the drivers of murcie roadsters aren't just mere mortals, are they? = )

in all seriousness, if i had a murcie roadster, i would seriously consider the top, so as to make it usable in climates other than what southern california has...

 

FINALLY someone got it right!

 

Thats a really cool idea, I'm looking forward to some real pics since the piece of carbon the swiss dealer Affolter sells through Ital Car Design looks like Quasimodo...

Pretty cool, looks great!

 

I think it looks great, but I wonder if it has a speed limitation like the factory canvas top does?

 

I would reserve judgment until it's more than an artist's concept.

I'll agree that it looks good but I'm a little concerned by the "about one minute" installation time.

It has 6 pieces.

The Diablo Roadster has one piece and takes longer than a minute to install/remove.

 

$26,000.00 price

 

I was wondering when someone would question the price.

There's nothing wrong with trying to maximize your investment on a new product (obviously a very limited market) but it seems like something that should cost a few thousand $ at most.

Of course if it is truly a thing of wonder that deploys at the touch of a button and is impervious to all leaks.

 

for $26000 i would stick with the fabric top.

 

I agree....I absolutely hate the fabric top.....but I'd learn to like it if I have to dish out $26k for any kind of roof. Especially if you still have to install it by hand and not the flick of a switch. Forget it...no way. The fabric top of the roadster is the only reason for me not trading in my coupe for one. Awesome looking car without the top though.

 

...I think Lamborghini should shell out and buy every Roadster owner one of these. Considering the appalling joke of a roof they sold the car with.....this would be a good way to make amends.

 

Well theres not enough Murci roadsters out there to justify mass production so these will probably be hand made and hand finished and regardless of the retail price they arent going to sell a lot. That means jacking the srp up to make sure they at least breakeven on their conservative sales estimates.

Makes sense to me

 

brilliant, long time coming but they got it right...worth the wait

 

and the quality was nothing like you are seeing in these computer animated photos. I will reserve judgement until I see an actual production example of this top, but I am very skeptical after seeing the GTX1 in person.

So I take it that you were not very impressed with their build quality? Do you think it's worth the 26k price that they're asking if the quality was top notch? I still think it's way too high. Make mine out of plain fibreglass for around $5000-$7000 and forget the carbon fibre...and I'd be happy.

 

I agree that this is something that every Roadster owned always needed, but I also agree that the price is very very high for the carbon product of these proportions. I know that composite materials are expensive nowdays but I think they are mostly charging for their patent. It is great invention (especially if it can be put on in one minute), but I don't think that people will easily take their money out of the pocket. Ok, maybe those who had unpleasant encounter with big grey clouds will think different

 

Did someone on this board finally bought & fitted a hard top on his Murcielago Roadster ?

Which brand ?

Satisfaction report ?

Price ?

thanks in advance

There HAS NOT yet been a truly successful Murci hard top deployment. You hear about one here, one there but never a consistent real product.

Really kind of puzzling since everybody *****es about the toupee, and people owning the cars can afford say a $7,500 top solution, but there's no solution in sight. You would think one of these guys that work in carbon fiber would attempt it.

If I ever bought one, I have resigned myself to fab one up for my own use (I'm an Engineer who uses AutoCAD).

 

There is info on hard top options in the ***************** a lamborghini forum and the best option looks to be exotic composites 4 piece which fits in the boot, but there might be a question over them being ok and legitimate? has any one got any options or info ? http://www.**********************/vbforum/f46/murci-roadster-hardtop-11936-new/
Thanks

 

$26K???????????????? No way buddy. May a 1/3 of that price at best.
