Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Plays Supporting Role in New Batman Movie
SANT'AGATA BOLOGNESE, Italy — Iron Man's impressive garage may include the stunning Audi R8, but that superhero may be one-upped by Batman, who drives the 640-horsepower Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 in the upcoming summer blockbuster The Dark Knight.
Anyone who has seen Iron Man, now playing in theaters, is undoubtedly thrilled by the trailer for The Dark Knight, which features a prominent reference to the Lamborghini.
Actor Michael Caine, playing Alfred the butler, in the Batman sequel, asks billionaire Bruce Wayne, "Will you be wanting the Batmobile, sir?" The Caped Crusader's alter ego replies: "No."
"The Lamborghini, then," Caine responds. "Much more subtle."
Lamborghini issued a statement about the Lambo's appearance in The Dark Knight late Tuesday. "The Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 is the natural choice for Bruce Wayne's other car," said Stephan Winkelmann, president and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. "Lamborghini is proud to be associated with one of the greatest movie franchises in history, especially co-starring with the night-bound Batmobile."
The Dark Knight will hit theaters on July 18.
