Lamborghini

It was a bit mysterious when a piture of a Murcielago with black doors was seen doing laps at the ‘Ring’. People began to call it the upgraded version of the LP640. Yet, Lamborghini denied this rumor, calling it, “a mule with unpainted doors.” They went so far as to have the president of Lamborghini, Stephen Winklemann, come out and deny the rumor as well. Winklemann stated, “The LP640 is wild enough.”

Whether or not he believed what he was saying, the truth is this: there is no such thing as too wild. And according to Car magazine, that wilder LP640 will probably be called “Superveloce”, the sorely missed SV moniker not heard in these parts in far too long.

The SV will lose 100 kg, the same amount shed by the lightweight Gallardo, ending up with 409 bhp per ton. It will also get shorter gearing that keeps it near the 8,000 rpm mark when driven in anger. Even though it will remain an all-wheel-driver, the 0-60 time should drop to 3.0 seconds. Car also says that that walk-the-plank rear wing is supposedly provided by Boeing.

The SV is expected to hit the runway at Frankfurt this September. And rumors, that it could be joined by a Gallardo SV, an even harder baby-Lambo meant to take the fight to the F430 Stradale, are spreading quickly.
