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.
First revealed back at the Geneva Motor Show the factory tuned Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is already in showrooms around the world. Here are the first pictures made to the real super car, spotted behind impenetrable dealership glass in the Czech Republic.
The "Aeropack" package, not equipped on this beautiful white example, will include a larger wing priced at around €7,000.
With 670 HP on tap and a weight reduction of 220 pounds; the LP 670-4 resurrects the SV name and in typical Lamborghini fashion can fly from 0 to 60 MPH in just 3.2 seconds, but the real fun doesn’t start until you get close to the car’s 212 MPH top speed.
Back in 2002 Lamborghini replaced their sleek bodied super car, the legendary Diablo with the more modern Murcielago. In only a few years, the Lambo-bat will suffer a similar fate, being replaced by the next generation of ultra luxurious, super fast Italian status symbol.
It is very likely that the next raging bull will be put on a strict diet of an aluminum space frame like the R8 from Audi and a carbon fiber unique to Lamborghini, in order to maintain outstanding agility. The engine will still be a V12 and will still sit behind the driver’s head, providing the perfect placement to hear all 675 HP of the likely 6.5 Liter super car engine. Now the photo above is only a rendering, but according to officials from the Volkswagen Group, the future design language of Lamborghini will be much like the Reventon. With its sharp edges and jutting overhangs that distinguish this fighter jet inspired extreme machine from the Italian automaker.
Ever think Lamborghini drivers have their heads up their rears? Well this Murcielago driver was kind enough to go up someone else’s. This accident happened in Seattle on Monday morning. No one was hurt, so it’s ok to laugh.
The only way this could have possibly been funnier is if the Lambo belonged to a proctologist.
It seems the guys at Lamborghini seem to have an appreciation for enthusiasts. Although the Lamborghini LP670-4 SV didn’t make it to the New York Auto Show, it did make it to Cars & Coffee, a somewhat informal, but celebrated, car show in Irvine, California.
Autoblog caught the supercar on a detour to it’s private unveiling in Las Vegas. The LP 670-4 SV delivers 670 hp and has a weight reduction of 220 lbs. It makes the 0 to 60 mph sprint in 3.2 seconds and can hit a top speed of 212 mph.
Another Lamborghini has been crashed in Russia. What originally just seemed like a lot of bad driving, it’s now possibly being suggested these cars are getting totaled for the insurance money.
