Here we go again. Already this week we’ve seen a Lamborghini Murcielago wrecked in the Ukraine and today’s Beverly Hills crash. Now we go back to Eastern Europe to see another bull that bucked out of control in Russia.
Although there are over 3,000 Murcielagos on the road, if owners don’t start to learn how to drive them, this bull may become an endangered species.
Check the video of the accident damage after the jump.
Are Lamborghinis this hard to control, or do more their drivers just lack a Cerebellum (the part of the brain that controls coordination)? Either way, after seeing the Murcielago LP640 crashed in the Ukraine earlier this week and now this one in Beverly Hills, California, Lambo really needs to push its driving academy to more customers.
We’re sick of reporting about people with more money than brains, who find out that their driving ability runs out a lot quickly behind the wheel of a supercar.
It’s still winter in the Ukraine, so we’re keeping out fingers crossed on this one. Maybe a mature and very experienced high-speed driver just hit a large patch of ice. That’s what we hope sent this all-wheel drive Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 into a spin out that left the front and rear damaged possibly beyond repair.
The boys at Prindiville replaced every panel on this Lamborghini Murcielago with a modified carbon fiber design. They reworked the exterior to include even more vents, slits, gills and scoops. Possibly the best feature added to the vehicle are the rear view mirror mounted cameras that help the driver to protect the low hanging body and wide wheels from coming too close to the curb.
Lamborghini has just relvealed the first promotional video of their latest and most powerful Murcielago yet, the LP670-4 SuperVeloce (SV). The raging bull is powered by a 670 hp 6.5-liter V12 engine borrowed from the Murcielago LP670-4. It takes only 3.2 seconds to reach 60 MPH (100 km/h) from a standstill on its way to a top speed of 212 MPH.
Lamborghini finally revealed today the special edition Murcielago LP 650-4 Roadster. It will be limited to only 50 units and the price will be around $400k.
The LP 650-4 Roadster is powered by a 6.5 litre V12 engine that produces 650 hp and a peak torque of 660 Nm. It makes the 0 to 60 mph sprint in 3.4 seconds and can hit a top speed of 205mph.
On the exterior the car combines grey bodywork with a special bright orange Arancio LP 650-4 featured on the front spoiler and sills. Also the special edition is being distinguished by LP 650-4 logo applied to the car’s exterior.
On the interior continues the same grey-and-orange paint scheme with an asymmetric dash design, with black Alcantara Nera on the driver’s side, including door panel and central tunnel, and black leather Nero Perseus on the passenger’s side.
The limited edition Lamborghini LP650-4 Roadster was supposed to make its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show, but unfortunately it missed the boat. A few days after the press shuffled out of the show, this special edition has been captured in what looks to be a Lamborghini dealership in Geneva. The photographs show off striking orange accents on the exterior as well as interior of the $400,000 roadster.
Aside from being a limited production run of only 50 cars the LP650-4 roadster is extraordinary due to its engine. The 650 HP 6.5 liter V12 has it roots in the Reventón, and the LP650 produces 19 HP more than the Murcielago LP640. All this power should be good enough to launch the Lamborghini from 0 to 60 MPH (0-100 km/h) in only 3.4 seconds.
Top Speed would like to give special recognition to the photographer Julien Rubicondo for taking such magnificent photographs.
When something like this happens, at least have a good story to go with it.
Try something like: "When I finally thought I lost the cops, they had a road block set up for me around the corner. I quickly decided to step on the accelerator and use the curb to get on two wheels...I passed right through them, but this happened."
Not what really happened: "I put less than 1,500 mile on my Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 when a bonehead rear ended me at a stop light."
The Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce will be last version of Murcielago built (the replacement is on the way), but it’s also going to be the most powerful Murcielago ever. With 670 hp and a weight reduction of 220 lbs, the LP 670-4 SV makes the 0 to 60 mph sprint in 3.2 seconds and can hit a top speed of 212 mph.
Compared to the LP640, the LP 670-4 SV comes with a new front-end finished in matte black paint, the front spoiler is made from carbon fiber and is connected to the front end via two vertical element, the air intakes are larger. On the rear the supercar gets a veritably noble, flat and extremely wide exhaust tailpipe and, on the underside, by a two-level diffuser system finished entirely in carbon fiber.
The aerodynamics has also been modified: enlarged front spoiler and the twin rear diffuser and also new fixed rear spoiler. A large, fixed, carbon-fiber wing mounted on two carbon-fiber brackets comes as an option.
A couple weeks ago we got a sneak peek at the special edition Lamborghini Murcielago LP 650-4 Roadster. Now we’ve got a few more pics and confirmation that we’ll see it this week at the Geneva Motor Show.
What makes the LP 650-4 so special is the engine: the 650 hp 6.5-liter V12 unit last seen in the Reventon - that’s 19 more hp than the Murcielago LP640-4 Roadster. It should be good for 0 to 60 mph sprints in 3.4 seconds.
Just like the Reventon, the Murcielago LP 650-4 will be a very limited model with only 50 units scheduled for production, with an estimated price of $400,000.
