    In my opinion, it should be:

    moor-see-EH-la-go

    Too many people accentuate the wrong syllable, but if you look closely there is an accent mark on the third syllable.

    While at the Lambo boston grand opening I got to hear the president of Lamborghini spa say Murcielago and Gallardo last night several times with his thick italian accent.

    From his lips it was. Mercy-el-ago and Ga-yardo.

    I forgot to mention that it has the Technical Director of Lamborghini, Massimo Ceccarani, saying the words in Italian. It helps a lot to hear it and not read it. Start the video on 15:30 for Murcielago if you can't wait to hear him say anything else. I thought the President of Lamborghini was Winkelmann (German?). I could be wrong... :)

    How about Chinetti? You hear that one butchered alot... "chin-ET-ee"....

    No - the "ch" is pronounced like a "K" - Kinetti.
