This is the newest version of Lamborghini's top offering; the Murcielago. The Murcielago has been the daddy Lambo for years constantly looking down on it's little brother the Gallardo. In order to make this the most hardcore Lamborghini of them all they went back to an age old recipe (add power and lose weight). Lamborghini has recently stated that they are investing heavily in carbon fiber and it shows on the SV. In order to achieve a 220 lbs weight loss the Murcielago was put on a strict diet of light weight materials with plenty of carbon fiber and strengthened by a tubular steel frame. The 6.5 liter V12 engine has been massaged to give an extra 30 horses over the previous model and gives the car a truly outstanding 670 hp and 487 ft-lbs of torque. With a 0 to 62 mph time of 3.2 seconds and top speed of 212 mph this is the Murcielago on steroids. When it comes to looks this car brings everything that makes a Lamborghini a Lamborghini. This car looks positively evil like Darth Vader on wheels. From every angle it is just stunning and with the optional “Aeropack Wing” it has the dual effect of creating even more downforce at speed while looking all the more menacing. This is the hottest Lambo on the market right now for good reason with the possible exception of the Gallardo Balboni, but as sibling rivalries go this is one I'm looking forward to.
