The LP 670-4 is a lighter and more powerful version of the Murcielago.

Exactly three years after the revised Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 was unveiled at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show the LP 670-4 SuperVeloce (SV) version was unveiled at the same venue.

The Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is even more powerful, lighter and faster than the Murciélago LP 640. With the output of the 6.5 liter V12 increased to 670 hp and 660 Nm (487 lb-ft) of torque and a weight reduction of 100 kg (220 lbs), the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce boasts a power-to-weight ratio of 2.3 kg (5.1 lbs) per hp. This allows it to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.2 seconds on its way to a top speed of around 342 km/h (212 mph).

In order to achieve the weight reduction the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce was extensively reworked and redeveloped in virtually every aspect - from chassis to engine and transmission, right through to the interior. The increase in engine output from 640 to 670 hp is the result of optimized valve timing and a reworked intake system. The significantly modified aerodynamics with substantially increased downforce brings considerable improvement to vehicle stability at very high speeds. With the small standard-fit rear spoiler, top speed stands at 342 km/h (212 mph), while the large "Aeropack Wing" and its added downforce gives a top speed of 337 km/h (209 mph).

The styling of the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is more extreme and underscores the performance potential of the model. The redesigned front end is pulled forward and finished in matt black paint while the carbon fiber front spoiler is connected to the front end via two vertical elements. The air intakes for the front brakes are larger and the front fenders feature additional air intakes for brake ventilation. The air vent for the oil cooler located in the driver-side sill area is painted matt black to match the sills.

The 6.5 litre V12 engine is neatly framed under a transparent engine bonnet that boasts a completely new architecture. Hexagonal polymer plates made from transparent polycarbonate are set on three levels within a carbon fiber framework. The layers are open towards the rear, playing a key role in the thermodynamics of the high-performance engine.

The rear end of the LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is dominated by a wide and flat single, central exhaust pipe and a two-level diffuser system finished entirely in carbon fiber. The rear light clusters utilize the new Y-shape that has been a trademark of Lamborghini design since the Murciélago LP 640, Reventon and Gallardo LP 560-4. The panel between the lights is made from carbon fiber, while the large intake mesh below expands across the full width of the rear end. Made from thick-walled aluminum, the hexagonal pattern is laser-cut and a Teflon coating provides the necessary heat protection.
