2007 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640

Lamborghini has unveiled the 2007 Murcielago LP640, a refreshed version of its range-topping supercar. The new Murcielago is powered by a 6.5-litre V12, longitudinally mounted behind the driver (LP in LP640 means "longitudinale posteriore"). The engine's increased displacement means output jumps to 631 hp at 8,000 rpm. 0-62 mph is accomplished in just 3.4 seconds -- that's nearly half a second faster than the regular model. A new six-speed gearbox with an optional sequential paddle shift undoubtedly helps achieve those numbers. The carbon fiber exterior has been enhanced with sharper lines, new 18-inch rims enhance the overall appearance, and new outrageous 13.5 inch-wide tires deliver all that power to the ground. The interior has also been revised for increased comfort. The vehicle is expected to be sold a premium model above the standard Murcielago. See all the images after the jump...
