Lamborghini Murcielago LP640
The new version of this highly successful super-sports car features considerable
innovations in terms of body design and mechanics. And also with a new name: Murciélago
LP640, which refers to its engine position - longitudinale posteriore - and to its
power of 640 hp. Designers and engineers have not only focused on reworking the
engine, suspensions, gearbox, exhaust system, brakes and electronics, but also the
interior and exterior design; improvements that make the Murciélago LP640 the most
extreme and fastest sports car in its class, placing it at the very top.
The designers at the Lamborghini Style Centre have remained true to the traditional
Lamborghini principles of purism, sport and function: the Murciélago LP640 now appears
even more aggressive, with the new front and rear bumpers contributing significantly
to its appearance. The exhaust system terminal has been incorporated in the diffuser
on the rear bumper.
Other innovations include the rear lights, which enhance the distinguishing features
of the Murciélago LP640, making it unmistakable even at night. The design of the
sides is also worth mentioning: while the area behind the air intake on the right
side is practically closed, the left side features a vast aperture for cooling the
oil radiator. Together with the aerodynamically defined front and rear, this proves
yet again that the shape of a Lamborghini is dictated by function.
For those wishing to flaunt the heart of their Murciélago LP640, on request an engine
hood made of transparent glass can be supplied. The rear view mirrors and the windscreen
wipers have been modified to improve aerodynamics and Hermera light metal wheel
rims have been added. The graphics of the instrument panel lights in the cockpit
have been revamped. The interior upholstery also has a new look thanks to the lozenge-shaped
stitching.
