For the year 2007 Lamborghini decided to change up the 2006 Murcielago coupe into the LP640. Like all names the LP640 has a meaning. The “LP” stands for “longitudinale posteriore,” which is Italian for “longitudinal rear” and indicates the position of the vehicle’s massive V12 engine behind the cockpit.
While the sister ship struggled a bit, the #7 All-Inkl Racing Lamborghini Murcièlago R-GT ran strong through the whole race, and managed to grab Lamborghini’s first international racing trophy in its maiden outing. Drivers Christophe Bouchut and Stefan Mücke held off a pair of hard-charging Z06 Corvettes at Zhuhai International Circuit, with all three finishing within four seconds of each other.
The Lamborghini Murcielago is a 2-door coupe that can seat only two people. The design for the vehicle was based on the traditional Lamborghini design. It is equipped with the V12 engine, the usual Lamborghini transmission with the gearbox placed in front of the engine and the rear differential integrated into the engine unit, permanent four-wheel drive with central viscous coupler.
