2010 Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce







The Lamborghini Murcielago is one of the most extraordinary super sports car of all time. Automobili Lamborghini has expanded its range of models with a new, exceptionally purist model and even more extreme - the Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce is more powerful, lighter and faster than the Murcielago LP640. With the departure of the 6.5 liters V12 increased to 670 hp and a weight reduction of 100 kg (220 lbs), the Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 has a power-SuperVeloce weight of 2.3 kg (5.1 lbs ) by CV. This catapults from 0 to 100 km / h (62 mph) in 3.2 seconds and skills that a top speed of around 342 km / h (212 mph). Distinctive design enhancements ensure that each of the 350-unit limited edition series transmits its full potential from the first glance.

With its outstanding performance, razor-sharp precision and stability for exceptional high speed, the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 is the latest car SuperVeloce performance sports car for the drivers. The super sports car has been redesigned with a new front and rear, a new hood and a choice of two aerodynamic setups with either a small or large rear spoiler. The interior Alcantara and carbon fiber provides a purist and minimalist approach.


In order to achieve significant weight reduction of 100 kilograms (220 pounds), the Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce was extensively revised and reconstructed in virtually every aspect - from chassis to engine and transmission to the interior. The increase in production of engines from 640 to 670 hp is the result of the optimized valve timing and a modified intake system. Aerodynamics significantly modified with a substantial increase in load results in significant improvement in vehicle stability at high speeds. With the standard setting of a small rear wing, maximum speed is 342 km / h (212 mph), while the large "Aeropack Wing," and added his load gives a maximum speed of 337 km / h (209 mph).

"The new Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce is the continuation of the systematic philosophy of our brand. It is more extreme, and without almost any other car," said Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. "As the new top model of the successful Murciélago range, the sample SuperVeloce not only exceptional driving dynamics, it is also further evidence of our expertise. Customers can expect a totally unique driving experience."

Design and Aerodynamic

The Murciélago is a icon Lamborghini - a machine sporting a menacing and brutal power. Its unique design radiates a supreme highly concentrated form of sensuality. Wide, low area with its glass pushed way forward and a long and tense again - the interaction between the soft contours of the basic shape and sharp edges is the perfect expression of the Lamborghini design language. In all of its character, the Murcielago is unmatched in the market for sports cars.

However, even a character like this can be improved - the new SV Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 is the most extreme, most purist pinnacle of the range of models. This is evident from the first glimpse of their totally redesigned front end - pulled way forward and finished in matt black paint, the front spoiler carbon fiber connects to the front through two vertical elements. The large air intakes for the front brakes are more strongly emphasized. The new feature of the front air defenses for the additional brake ventilation. The air vent for the oil cooler located in the driver's side, the threshold is painted matte black to match the ceiling.

The changes are even more evident in the powerful engine bay Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce. The twelve-cylinder engine is a masterpiece of engineering under a transparent hood that has a completely new architecture. Hexagonal plates made of transparent polycarbonate polymer is set at three levels within a framework of carbon fiber. The layers are open in the back, playing a key role in the thermodynamics of high-performance engines.

The impressive final SuperVeloce rear is dominated by a truly noble, flat and wide and the exhaust pipe at the bottom, by a broadcaster in the two-tier system of fully finished carbon fiber. The backlight display their signs in groups such as distinctive and has been a fixed design as the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640, and Reventon LP560-4 Gallardo. The group of experts from the lamps is made from carbon fiber, while the large mesh below the intake expands across the width of the rear. Made of thick aluminum walls, the hexagonal pattern is laser cutting and a Teflon coating provides the necessary thermal protection.

The aerodynamics of the Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 has been fully reviewed SuperVeloce. Along with the expansion of the front spoiler and rear diffuser double, the new fixed rear spoiler also plays an important role. Customers can choose between two versions, with the small rear wing to provide better aerodynamic loads at high speeds. Optionally, the Lamborghini Murcielago SV LP670-4 can be supplied with "Aeropack wing" - a large, fixed carbon-fiber wings mounted on two carbon fiber brackets. The new aerodynamic configuration provides a significant boost to the directional stability at high speeds. The maximum speed of the load on the Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce with Aeropack is a sharp increase.

Bodywork and lightweight construction

With the construction of the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce, Lamborghini showed their experience in the manufacture of lightweight materials and working with high-tech carbon fiber. The structure of the super sports car is an extremely rigid construction of composite components and a carbon tubular steel frame - like a race car. The transmission tunnel and floor are made of carbon fiber, which is attached to the use of steel rivets and high strength adhesives. The roof and exterior door panels are formed of sheet steel, while the rest of the outer skin is made of carbon composite material.

For the Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce, engineers in the Sant'Agata Bolognese recalculated and select a new, super high strength steel section. This achieved two objectives - firstly, that increasing the torsional stiffness of the chassis by 12 percent for improved handling precision, and secondly, they were able to reduce the weight of 20 kg (44 lbs) making a significant contribution to the reduction of overall vehicle weight. The systematic approach is still lightweight design throughout the body. The front fenders, rear fenders and groups or the cover of the third brake light are made of a material change in the carbon fiber. Combined with the elimination of the mobile unit to the wing, this brings a greater reduction in weight of 13 kg (28.6 lbs).

Added to 33 kg (72.6 lbs) of weight reduction and chassis exterior is 34 kg (74.8 pounds) from the inside, as well as more than 33 kg (72.6 lbs) removed from the unit engine and train.

Power unit and transmission

The 6.5 liters longitudinally mounted V12 power supply for an infernal incomparable driving experience. With 670 hp (493 kW) engine in the Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce is 30 hp more powerful than the Murciélago LP 640. The twelve-cylinder sends his mighty 660 Nm (487 lb.-ft.) of torque to the crankshaft at 6500 rpm, maximum power is reached at 8000 rpm, with an average speed of piston 23.7 meters per second - a figure almost comparable andalusia the engines of the race.

The V12 is ready to deliver results - which brings its menacing power with the immediacy and accuracy to ensure impressive performance - after just 3.2 seconds, the SuperVeloce has already reached 100 km / h (62 mph).

The engine block and the heads of the V12, located in the ideal cylinder angle of 60 degrees, are made of aluminum. The chain of four camshafts are driven controlled variable, while the intake manifold in three stages - two technologies add even greater impetus to the relentless pushing power. To enhance the performance of the Lamborghini Murcielago SV LP670-4, the intake system has been changed, the valve train and optimized, especially the increased valve travel.

The control electronics for the V12 have been developed internally by Lamborghini - each cylinder bank has its own high-performance processor. If the engine requires more cooling air, intake funnels emerge from the rear pillars when not in operation, they are flush with the bodywork. Dry sump lubrication allows the V12 to be mounted very low to the benefit of handling dynamics, this also ensures the supply of oil under very dynamic driving conditions. With 12 liters of lubricant oil in circulation, the oil cooler is on the left side of the vehicle and cooled air that flows through the opening in the doorway.

Weight loss of more than 26 kg (57 pounds) in the engine area is derived mainly from the new exhaust system. The muffler has been redesigned and powerful tube of SuperVeloce made from new material is lighter than the Murcielago LP 640. But above all, the new exhaust system for an acoustic experience that is certainly equal to driving - from the heavy rumble of a stormy night, through the powerful trumpeting of elephants for the angry roar of a lion, the Lamborghini Murcielago LP670 -4 SuperVeloce performs grand opera on 12 cylinders, 48 valves and 8000 revolutions.

The Lamborghini Murcielago LP670 SV-4 is equipped with the sequential e.gear automated manual transmission, which uses electro-hydraulics to change gears quickly and smoothly. A booth display informs the driver of the art today. In addition, a special "Corsa" mode and a "low adhesion" mode are available.

As there is the option premium, the SuperVeloce is available with a six-speed manual transmission. His step short metal pole running on an open door of the classic Italian style. In both variants, the new lighter clutch makes its own contribution to the weight loss program.

All the wheels and chassis

The Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce offers extreme power to the road with great reliability - assured by its constant all-wheel drive. Before turning the rear wheels, the viscous coupling to send 35 percent of power through the shaft in addition to the front wheels. The front and rear limited-slip differentials are set at 25 to 45 percent. With its four-wheel traction and momentum, the Murciélago offers a decisive advantage over the rear wheel sports when accelerating from a corner - and with maximum stability. The rear axle carries 58 percent of its overall weight - a distribution coefficient which is very good for traction.

Explosive dynamic, tenacious and extreme speed curves - the Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 is a super sports car SuperVeloce full of aggressive power, but in no way means a bad car. Your address requires very little energy support, giving full control to the driver of the vehicle. Preparations to face the beast in the head are quickly rewarded with intimate contact and confidence - as speed increases, so the bat reveals its strengths, thus exposing a character's behavior without surprises and you can always be expected.

The Murcielago is equipped with dual suspension Wishbone all. Struts spring - two in each of the rear wheels and one in each of the front - the control of the loads transferred from the road. The level of elevation adjustment system allows the front end of vehicle to be raised by 45 mm (1.8 inches) to avoid obstacles such as parking tickets. SuperVeloce is equipped with the exclusive "Ares" forged alloy wheels, with the unique double five spoke design. The front wheels are clad in 245/35 ZR 18 rubber while 335/30 ZR breeding sport 18. High adhesion Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires are standard.

Four brakes controlled by a high-tech powerful ABS system capable of stopping power when needed. The ceramic carbon (BCC) are enlivened by the brake cooling air flowing through channels extending into the body, while the openings in the front fenders provide additional ventilation for the Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 VS. The ceramic discs are exceptionally lightweight, fade-free and capable of very high operating performance.

Interior and Equipment

Even in the intensification of the Lamborghini Murcielago SV is a very personal experience as the car itself. The upward-opening doors - a solution developed by Lamborghini in the early seventies for the Countach - are released through small locks, and then swing open to reveal a panorama of the interior of the exclusive Lamborghini Murcielago LP670 -4 SuperVeloce. The dominating materials are Alcantara and carbon fiber, making an environment that is as high quality as it is sporty.

The sport seats come standard with an exceptional and provide firm support around the hip and shoulder areas. The seats are made of sturdy and lightweight carbon fiber and ensure perfect driver support, even in the most extreme conditions. The bat standard seats are also available at SuperVeloce as a free option.

Not only the seats are upholstered in Alcantara black micro fiber, the cab and the roof lining is finished in this high-quality, lightweight material. And the form of holes in the seats and the roof rather than finesse, inlaid with a backing material in the same color as the exterior paint. The Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce can be delivered with paint finishes Giallo Orion, Arancio Atlas, Isis Bianco, Grigio Telesto and Nero Aldebaran and Bianco Canopus (matt white) and Nero Nemesis (matt black) as an option.

Naturally, the interior also contributes to weight reduction. The door panels are covered in carbon fiber, as is the center of the tunnel. The application of leather instead of Alcantara is another weight-saving, like the choice of sports seats and the failure of radio-navigation system (if requested, is available as an option). At the end of the day, music comes from a bat in the engine compartment. In general, changes to the interior contribute more than 34 kg (75 pounds) to the SuperVeloce weight loss program.

But absolutely no corners have been cut when there is a feature that is characteristic of all Lamborghini super sports cars - the exceptional quality of workmanship. Artisans in Sant'Agata Bolognese Åre all masters of their trades, the guarantee of three years is testimony to the faith in the product quality.

2010 Lamborghini Reventon Roadster










Lamborghini presents the ultimate driving machine among open-top two-seaters - the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster is a sports car of breathtaking fascination, menacing power and uncompromising performance. The 6.5 liter twelve-cylinder generates 493 kW (670 PS), catapulting the Roadster from 0 to 100 Km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 3.4 seconds and onwards to a top speed of 330 KM/h (205 mph). The open-top Lamborghini Reventón is not only one of the fastest, but also one of the most exclusive cars in the world - Lamborghini has limited the series.

The Lamborghini Reventón is not destined to remain a one-off. Less than 20 Lamborghini friends and collectors will be able to own this extraordinary car and, naturally, enjoy the incomparable pleasure of driving it.

Each Lamborghini Reventón Roadster will be sold for 1.1 Million Euro (without taxes). Deliveries will begin October 2009.

"The Lamborghini Reventón is the most extreme car in the history of the brand," comments Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. "The new Roadster adds an extra emotional component to our combined technological expertise - it unites superior performance with the sensual fascination of open-top driving." The Lamborghini Reventón Coupé was presented at the 2007 IAA in Frankfurt and was sold out immediately.

Open-top sports cars are a tradition at Lamborghini that stretches back over 40 years. In 1968, the company from Sant'Agata Bolognese built a Lamborghini Miura without a fixed roof as a one-off. The Lamborghini Diablo Roadster appeared in 1995 with its targa roof anchored to the engine cover.


All Lamborghinis are created with an avantgarde approach to design; a fast-moving technical sculpture. The Lamborghini Reventón Roadster is derived from the same creative thinking as the Coupé. Its designers found their inspiration in aviation - the aggressive wedge shape evokes images of fighter jets.

The powerful arrowhead form at the front, the mighty air intakes pulled way forward, the broad side skirts, the upwards opening scissor doors and the rear end with its menacing edges - the Roadster is clad in a design of maximum functionality and spectacular clarity. Details set stylish accents, such as headlamps featuring bi-xenon units with LEDs forming the daytime running lights and indicators. The rear lamps are also equipped with LEDs.

Like the Coupé, the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster measures 4700 mm (185 in.) long. It has a wheelbase of 2665 mm (105 in.) and is 2058 mm (81 in.) wide and 1132 mm (45 in.) high. The driver and passenger seating positions are low and sporty, separated by a substantial central tunnel.

Behind the two seats are two hidden pop-up bars that deploy upwards in just a few hundredths of a second in the event of an imminent rollover. A fixed, horizontal wing-shaped member behind the seats bears the third brake light. The design of the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster's long back is also quite distinct from that of the Coupé. The engine bonnet is virtually horizontal and a total of four windows made from glass provide a view of the mighty V12 in all its technical elegance.

Stiff bodyshell base

The base bodyshell of the Lamborghini Reventón is already so stiff that the Roadster requires only minimal reinforcement. It has a dry weight of only 1690 Kg (3,725 lbs.), just 25 Kg, (55 lbs.) more than the Coupé.

Like the Coupé, the cell of the Roadster is made from high-strength steel profile and carbon components joined with specialist adhesive and rivets. The bodyshell is made almost entirely from carbon fiber elements, with sheet steel used only for the outer door skins.

Exclusive grey paintwork

A unique paint finish completes the razor sharp design language of the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster. For this exclusive special edition, designers have created a new shade of matt grey called Reventón Grey. As for the Reventón Coupé, which is a slightly different shade of grey, this is a matt paint finish that, in the sunlight, displays an unexpected impression of depth thanks to its special metal particles.

The wheels of the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster also incorporate the interplay of matt and glossy elements. The five spokes of the rims each bear a Y-form, and on each spoke are mounted small crescent-shaped wings made from matte carbon. These provide not only an unusual visual impact, but also a turbine effect that further improves cooling of the mighty ceramic brake discs.

Aircraft-style displays

The interior of the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster conveys the same powerful design as the exterior. The cockpit is structured with technical clarity, the interfaces arranged for functionality. Like a modern aircraft, the open two-seater no longer has classic analogue instrumentation - instead, information is delivered via two transreflective and one transmissive liquid-crystal displays.

The driver can switch between two modes at the touch of a button - one digital view with illuminated bars and one level with classic round dials, albeit with changing color graphics. Centrally located at the top of the display is the G-force meter. It represents the intensity of the forces acting on the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster under acceleration, braking and heavy cornering; the same format used in Formula 1.

The instruments are mounted in a casing machined from solid aluminum which is housed in a carbon fiber dashboard. The interior displays uncompromisingly clean craftsmanship and features a host of carbon fiber applications - e.g. on the center tunnel - aluminum, Alcantara and leather. The central panels and the seat cushions are perforated, with precision stitching gracing their outer edges.

Lamborghini has equipped the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster with full options.

An icon of engine design

The twelve-cylinder engine that powers the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster is a Lamborghini icon - and the technical feature that defines the character of the car. It is one of the world's most powerful naturally-aspirated engines. With a compression ratio of 11 : 1 and a displacement of 6496 cc (396.41 in3,) it generates 670 PS (493 kW) at 8,000 rpm. Its maximum torque of 660 Nm (487 lb-ft) kicks in at 6,000 rpm.

The V12 engine is a masterpiece of Italian engineering. Two chains drive its four camshafts that, in turn, operate the 48 valves. Together with the three-phase adjustable intake manifold, the variable valve timing delivers a meaty torque build-up. Dry sump lubrication ensures that the hi-tech power unit has a constant supply of oil, even under heavy lateral acceleration. The absence of the oil sump means a low mounting position - benefitting the car's outstanding handling characteristics.

The V12 catapults the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster from 0 to 100 Km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 3.4 seconds and onwards to a top speed of 330 Km/h (205 mph). It reacts with the eagerness of a racing engine to input from the right foot, revving to 8,000 rpm and beyond, and performing a symphony that sends shudders along the spine. The deep booming bass, the powerful mid-range and the exultant horn section play music that, once heard, can never be forgotten.

All-wheel drive for maximum traction

In classic Lamborghini style, the aluminum engine is mounted longitudinally in front of the rear axle, with the transmission ahead of it beneath the center tunnel. This layout results in 58 percent of the overall weight being borne by the rear wheels - ideal for a powerful sports car.

This layout accommodates the Viscous Traction permanent all-wheel drive. Under normal conditions, it sends the vast majority of the driving force to the rear wheels. Should they begin to spin, the central viscous coupling sends up to 35 percent of the power via an additional shaft to the front axle. Limited-slip differentials are located there and at the rear axle with 25 and 45 percent lock respectively.

Lamborghini introduced the all-wheel drive principle with the Diablo. The reason back then was just as clear as it is today - four driven wheels grip far better than two, and the more powerful the engine, the greater the impact of this fundamental law of physics.

Also standard on the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster is the e.gear automated six-speed sequential manual transmission. The driver controls the gear shift, which is activated hydraulically via two steering wheel paddles. In addition to the "Normal" mode, the system offers a "Corsa" and a "low adherence" mode. The driver just has to keep his foot to the floor - the rest is handled by e.gear.

Running gear layout from motorsport

The Lamborghini Reventón Roadster keeps the extreme power of its engine in check with a running gear layout derived directly from motorsport. Each wheel boasts double wishbone suspension, with one spring strut on each side of the front axle and two each at the rear. The front end of the car can be raised by 40 mm (about 1.6 in.) to protect the underside of the vehicle over potholes or on steep entrances into underground garages.

The open two-seater runs on 18-inch wheels. The front tires measure 245/35, while the rears are 335/30. Dedicated air channels in the bodyshell cool the four wheel brakes. Carbon-fiber ceramic discs are standard - they have an extremely lightweight construction, operate with virtually no fade, are corrosion-free and achieve the highest service life. Each disc has a diameter of 380 mm (~15 in.) and is gripped by six-piston calipers.

As fast as the open two-seater may be, its road manners are impeccable. Its performance limits are extremely high, yet effortless to control. And, on exiting a bend, all four wheels stick tenaciously to the asphalt. The permanent all-wheel drive dovetails the car firmly with the road, delivering decisive benefits in traction and stability.

High-performance aerodynamics

A further distinctive characteristic of the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster is its calm directional stability even at extremely high speeds - a feature that also turns fast highway stretches into sheer joy. Alongside the bodyshell design and the smooth underbody, which culminates in a powerfully formed diffuser, the rear spoiler carries responsibility for downforce. It deploys from the rear edge at about 130 Km/h (80 mph) and adopts an even steeper angle as of about 220 Km/h (136 mph). The entire aerodynamic concept - around and through the car - is radically laid out for performance.

State-of the-art development techniques

Lamborghini used state-of-the-art, highly networked processes to bring the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster to life. The design, CAD work and model making that took place in the Centro Stile, which opened in 2004, were accompanied continuously by specialists and test engineers from the Research & Development Department.

The Design Department is directly linked to the neighbouring Ufficio Tecnico, ensuring rapid implementation of ideas. Lamborghini's capabilities also include the independent development of the complete electronic platform. This incorporates all control units - including those for the V12 and the innovative cockpit displays.

All units of the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster are being built on the Sant'Agata Bolognese production line, with perfect craftsmanship and to the highest levels of quality.
