Autoblog...

Enough with the spy shots and speculation, here it is folks: The Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce. Bologna's best automaker has just released official info and pics on its latest mighty Murc, and this one tops them all. The LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is described by Lamborghini as "exceptionally purist". The description fits as the LP 670-4 SV is more powerful, lighter and therefore faster than the already pretty quick LP-640. As its name suggests, the LP 670-4 SV boasts an increase in power to 670 hp and 487 lb-ft of torque for Lambo's 6.5L V12, all of which was achieved through simply optimizing the engine's valve timing and tweaking the air intake system.

Combine those extra bulls under the bonnet with a weight decrease of 220 lbs and performance figures begin to fall fast. 0-62 mph is now achieved in just 3.2 seconds and top speed is 212 mph with the standard, small spoiler. A larger "Aeropack Wing" offering more downforce is also available, but the additional drag drops top speed to 209 mph.

The LP 670-4 doesn't look like your average Murciélago, either. It's design is simple and brutal compared to the mess of angles that make up the Reventon. Up front the air intakes have been made larger for better brake cooling and the front spoiler extends much farther out. The new engine cover, meanwhile, is a marvel of design with three hexagonal transparent polymer plates supported by a carbon fiber framework. The interior has also been upholstered entirely in Alcantara and features stitching that matches the exterior color of the car.

You can't argue with a car that's faster, lighter and more powerful than its predecessors, and the Lamborghini LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is certainly not a car we'd want to argue with. Check out the gallery of high-res images just released by Lamborghini and stay tuned for our own gallery of live LP 670-4 SV shots when we hit the show floor soon.

i have a hard time with their interiors... they always wrap EVERYTHING, and i don't know if i like it or not. there's no contrast.


the car is ridiculous though. not too sure about the wing, but it's a piece of automotive art.

I guess ill be the harsh one in the thread since the Lamborghini haters have yet to arrive.

The reason I'm not 100% thrilled about this new Murcialago is that it isn't rwd as the speculation over the past year said it would be. And i feel that the wing and accents could have been done cleaner. I feel that Lamborghinis always get away with their strange proportions due to the cars beauty. But this particular car resembles a model with way too much makeup. Some lip gloss in the form of rwd is all i would have wanted the SV to be. That's just me though.


There's something about being simple that i admire in exotics.

I'll be enthused about Lamborghini again when they bring back the Miura...



edit: as a production model... not a concept.

Rear sucks, front splitter is too much..

Still, I would probably cut my left testie for it.. That's worth 500k right?

Yeah I agree it should have been regular looking, RWD, and I say put the huge SV on the sides like the Diablos lol.

Don't know about that yonky wing, but otherwise...OH MY FAWKING GOODNESS.

This represents everything that's great about Lamborghini. It's a car that makes you just got "KLFDSAGTPIWQEPRYSUDFY!!!!!!!!!"

In that regard, I think they could've gone a little crazier with the SV writing on the side though just like the old SV.

The new front end treatment is really nice though.
