Safety - What the Auto Press Says

Neither the federal government nor insurance industry has crash tested the '09 Murcielago. It does, however, come equipped with a host of active and passive safety features -- including front airbags, traction control, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, and a four-wheel drive system. A common reviewer complaint is that rearward visibility is hindered from the driver's seat.

• "Carbon-ceramic brakes are optional on both body styles, but neither side airbags nor stability control is available." -- Edmunds
• "The view to the rear is virtually nonexistent-plan on carrying a spotter if you envisage ever backing up." -- Motor Trend
• "Antilock brakes are the main safety feature. The standard binders can be upgraded to larger, ceramic-carbon brakes with six-piston calipers. That means less pedal effort to stop the car in less distance. Beyond that, Lamborghini says the car meets all international safety standards but offers no additional airbags beyond the front pair required by law." -- Cars.com
