2007 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640

Lamborghini has come a long way for a company that began as a tractor builder. Almost eight years after being acquired by Volkswagen, Lamborghini has made notable impact in the supercar niche with the release of its potent Murceilago LP640. The LP640 differs in several ways from the previous Mucielago. But the most significant is perhaps the 0.3 liter increase in its engine size…bumped from 6.2 to 6.5 liters for a 60hp increase to 640hp at 8,000 RPM.
With a larger rear-diff and the optional e-Gear transmission, this Murcielago is worthy of a dig rematch with the Pagani Zonda. With the e-Gear activated, the 4-wheel-drive transmission won’t engage the clutch until it hits 4,000 RPM at which point you’re basically launched down the drag strip. The result is 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. But while it goes straight real fast, you’d better hope a challenge “in the twisties” means a drifting contest.

For the 2008 model year, the Murcielago LP460 gets a haircut with the release of the roadster. Rather than liter this post with vivid pictures of this breathtaking beast and a list of its specs and improvements, why not get all that and see it in action…Top Gear style. It finished 6th in Top Gear’s road course trial, just 1 back of the Ariel Atom, with a time of 1:19.8.
