Namesake of the supercar,

"Murciélago was a Navarra fighting bull known for having survived 28 sword strokes in an October 5, 1879 fight against Rafael "El Lagartijo" Molina Sanchez, at the Coso de los califas bullring in Córdoba, Spain.

Murciélago fought with such passion and spirit that the crowd called for his life to be spared, an honor which the matador bestowed."
