Lamborghini Murci�lago, part 3

LP stands for Longitudinale Posteriore, referring to the longitudinally-mounted, 6.5 L V12 engine, capable of producing up to 633 bhp (472 kW) at 8000 rpm. Along with a new six-speed manual transmission, which can come in Lamborghini's optional paddle shift "E-gear" package, the LP640 can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds: 0.4 of a second quicker than the previous Murci�lago. The LP640 is accommodated by an electronic Launch control device called "Thrust."

The new Lamborghini Murci�lago LP640 Roadster was presented on the 2006 Los Angeles Autoshow. It features the same engine as the LP640 coup� and replaces the 6.2 Liter Murci�lago Roadster. The only design changes were oil cooling vents behind the air intakes, interior changes, and a reinforced body.

Presented at the Paris International Autoshow, the Lamborghini Murci�lago LP640 Versace is a special edition version of the LP640 Coup�, with all the same performance features. The only difference is the two tone white-black trim, shown on both the exterior and interior of the car. However, Lamborghini de Spa have also built 1 black LP640 & LP640 Roadster. It also features custom Versace leather seating and a Gianni Versace logo plaque inside the vehicle. The Versace material costs $10,000 per seat.

In late 2003, Lamborghini announced a special 40th Anniversary Edition of the Murci�lago, following in the footsteps of their Countach and Diablo Anniversary Editions. The limited production run of 50 vehicles featured enhancements including a limited-edition body color, carbon-fiber exterior detailing, upgraded wheels , a new revamped exhaust system, and a 40th Anniversary numbered plaque displayed along the side. The interior featured a new leather trim and additional electronic features.
