We here at Top Speed don’t know about you, but this chromed Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640 Roadster looks absolutely atrocious! It’s true we have seen chromed cars before, but this unique Lamborghini that was spotted on the streets of London is really not a pleasant experience for our eyes! The car was spotted in London!
The finish actualy ruins the car, no matter what angle you look at it from, you will only see the reflection of dirty cars parked on the side of the road. The only way that this car would work, is if it were parked in the center of the nicest Lamborghini collection ever. With a Reventon on one side and a Spider on the other.
Oh well, this is just another example that money cannot buy taste.
Hot off the heels of their latest customization program for road going Italian super cars, Reiter Engineering has just unveiled the new LP-670 R-SV GT1 race car at the 24 Hours of Spa. Based on the new Murciélago LP670-4, Reiter’s newest big boy toy is equipped with an all-new, more powerful version of Lamborghini’s 6.5 Liter V12 engine producing a maximum output of 670 HP and a peak torque of 487 lb-ft.
The race spec Lamborghini tips the scales at only 2,535 pounds and features some significantly modified aerodynamics for on track competition that is only accentuated by the oversized GT wing bolted to the rear deck lid. The GT1 Murciélago features a few other modifications in order to get the most out of on track performace mainly consisting of a few hard core suspension components that widen the car’s track and lower its center of gravity greatly improving Reiter’s ability to remain planted when going all out through a turn; all characteristics of the new Lamborghini race car.
REITER Engineering has developed a tuning kit for the Lamborghini Murcielago, at lest in the virtual realm. The tuner’s intention was to bring a motor sport experience to the street utilizing their technological know-how learnt from many years of on-track competition.
The concept’s design is inspired by the REITER Murcielago R-GT. On the outside REITER modifies the raging bull with a new front splitter, more efficient rear diffuser and a fixed rear wing all made out of carbon fiber. These body parts not only make the REITER Murcielago a more visually attractive machine, but also increase the vehicle’s aerodynamic grip on the road. The inside of a Lamborghini is already luxurious enough, however REITER saw fit to upgrade the Murcielago with a set of leather racing buckets and grippy Alcantara inserts.
Out back the Murcielago features a new exhaust system with high mounted that not only look nice, but allow the Lamborghini to sit a little closer to the ground and make the most of the new race developed suspension setup. Along with the rest of the new hardware, REITER has also included a racing brake system as well as a set of new rollers.
The latest raging bull from Lamborghini has been spotted posing in the rain recently. The Murcielago’s wild yellow and black-matte finish makes this SV look outstanding in its natural habitat; not to mention the over the top rear wing. The new Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is powered by a 6.5 Liter V12 engine that delivers 670 HP combined with the vehicle’s weight reduction of 220 pounds from the standard model helps the LP 670-4 SV makes the 0 to 60 MPH sprint in just 3.2 seconds and capable of hitting a top speed of 212 MPH.
Usually a 1:43 or 1:18 scale high quality Lamborghini Murcielago might run you somewhere between $50 to $100. So what would you say if we told you about a $2500 1:18 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640? Would you believe us if we said it had over 7500 Swarovski crystals covering it, 7668 to be exact? Either was we hope that the future owner of this ridiculously expensive toy car doesn’t go to waste, and that the future owner immediately takes it out of the box and plays with it, dorever destroying the new in box collector status. Even opened a Murcielago covered in crystals will still be worth holding on to.
This toy is only available at the London based shop Harrods.
We all know, or at least have heard of, how bad the weather is in U.K. However, if you are shopping for a Lamborghini LP640 Roadster, the weather is most likely the last thing on your mind. Unfortunately for this raging bull owner, the canvas top on his $400,000 Lamborghini won’t close itself. This exotic owner probably has another super car in his garage that he can use tomorrow, while the LP roadster dries off.
Here is the latest super vehicle from Lamborghini at home in its natural habitat. The car is a Murcielago LP670-4 SV is powered by 670 HP V12 that allows it to sprint from 0 to 60 MPH in just 3.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 212 MPH. The racetrack is the historic Silverstone Circuit.
The Super Veloce is limited to only 300 units, with most models destined to spend their days in climate controlled storage, it is nice to see one of these factory tuned street legal racecars stretching its legs. Those guys at Drivers Republic sure do get to have all the fun.
Pink super cars are nothing new, we’ve seen pink Pagani Zondas, a pink Bentley Continental GT and even a pink 250 MPH Bugatti Veyron. There is even a Japanese tuner, Yashio Factory that has chosen the adopted the lighter shade of red as their signature color, building some of the wildest drift cars in the process. The strategy works in two ways. Not only are their vehicles immediately recognizable, but there is something inherently wrong about a feminine colored car roaring at 6000 RPM, sliding sideways at 80 MPH, throwing off a wall of white smoke; it is a sight that is hard to forget.
Getting back to road going vehicles, this time Top Speed has spotted a pink Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. The color works surprisingly well on the raging bull; after all, a large part of Lamborghini’s appeal is their wild appearances and the sense of exclusivity that can only come from being behind the wheel of a $250,000 Italian super car. One thing is for certain, this is one unique Lamborghini LP640. Despite the feminine exterior, this Murcielago can still run with the big boys, powered by the same 6.5 Liter V12 as any other 640 HP Lamborghini, doing the 0 to 60 MPH sprint in just 3.3 seconds.
However we would like to know if Paris Hilton has the keys to this LP640. It would explain a lot, like the color for starters. If not, it would be a perfect addition to her collection of pink super cars.
