When people think super high performance vehicles, many times their first though is Lamborghini. The Murcielago is a part of Lamborghini's new line of cars that came out in 2001. It was created to replace the famous Diablo model that had been wowing people since 1990.
The Murcielago roared onto the scene with a 6.2 liter version of Lamborghini's legendary v-12. It also sported a 6-speed Manual or 6 speed sequential automatic transmission. These worked together to produce a mind blowing 580 bhp. The car was able to go from 0-60 in a mere 3.8 seconds and reach speeds of 205 mph.
These stats are all well and good for the standard Murcielago coupe, but what about the brand new LP640 that debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March 06, introduced as a facelift for the original. This model features an astonishing 6.5 liter 640 bhp V-12. the front and rear bumpers have been reshaped to channel air more efficiently, also the rear exhaust has been shaped into a diffuser to cut down on aero lift. The LP in its name stands for Longitudinale Posteriore, referring to the longitudinally mounted engine, this allows the LP640 to go from 0-60 .4 seconds faster than the normal Murcielago.
