2010 Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV

The Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is even more powerful, lighter and faster than the Murcielago LP 640. Lamborghini was able to shed 220 lbs. while increasing horsepower from 640 tp 670. The increase in power is the result of optimized valve timing and a reworked intake system. As a result, the top of the line Murcielago blazes from 0-60mph in 3.1 seconds and tops out at a blistering 212mph. It is available with either a sequential, automated "manual" transmission or a conventional 6 speed manual.
The LP670-4 will never be mistaken for an "ordinary" Murcielago. Its redesigned front include a larger front spoiler and larger air inlets to help cool the front brakes. In the rear, customers can choose between a small wing or the optional "Aeropack Wing" - a large, fixed, carbon-fiber wing mounted on two carbon-fiber brackets. The new aerodynamic set-up provides a significant boost to directional stability at the very highest speeds. The top-speed downforce on the Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce with Aeropack is strongly increased. The downside is the Aeropack Wing reduces top speed to 209mph. Considering most of these will never see above 200mph, the decision will probably come down to aesthetic taste. The twelve-cylinder engine is presented as an engineering masterpiece under a transparent engine bonnet that boasts a completely new architecture. Hexagonal polymer plates made from transparent polycarbonate are set on three levels within a carbon fiber framework. The layers are open towards the rear, playing a key role in the thermodynamics of the high-performance engine.

The Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce delivers its extreme power to the road with great reliability - assured by its permanent all-wheel drive. Before the rear wheels spin, the viscous coupling sends up to 35 percent of driving force via its additional shaft to the front wheels. The front and rear limited-slip differentials are set at 25 and 45 percent. With its four driven wheels and traction, the Murcielago delivers a decisive advantage over rear-wheel drive sports cars when it comes to accelerating out of a corner - and always with maximum stability.
