The Italian carmaker has announced today a new production milestone - the 4,000th Lamborghini Murcielago built. The 4,000th Lamborghini Murcielago is a SuperVeloce LP 670-4 powered by the 6.5 V12 engine that gives it a power-to-weight ratio of 2.3kg/hp. The top speed of the supercar is 342 km/h (212mph) and it can reach 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds. The Lamborghini Murcielago SV is a lightweight version of the standard model that will be built in only 350 units. The 4,000th Lamborghini Murcielago will go to a customer in China.
In comparison, the previous V12 Lamborghini, the Diablo, was built in only 2,900 units.
Lamborghini Press Release:
Italian Super sportscar manufacturer Automobili Lamborghini proudly celebrates a historic event: an LP 670-4 SuperVeloce version of its current flagship V12 Murcielago, carrying series number 4,000, has just left Lamborghini’s factory in Sant’Agata Bolognese, destined for a Chinese buyer.
Commenting on the record production, Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. President and CEO
Stephan Winkelmann said, “The enthusiasm our products incite makes us proud and confirms that the company’s product strategy and model range are a winning combination, producing exceptionally desirable super sportscars.”
Only around 2,900 of the previous V12 model, the Lamborghini Diablo, were built over eleven years of production.
The Murcielago SuperVeloce LP 670-4 carrying series number 4,000 is a lightweight version of the Murcielago LP 640 on which it is based.
With an increase in power to 670 hp from its 6.5 V12 engine, and weight reduced by 100 kg, the power-to-weight ratio of the SuperVeloce is 2.3kg/hp. The 0-100km/h acceleration is blisteringly quick at 3.2sec, and top speed reaches 342 km/h (212mph). Only 350 SuperVeloce special series models will be produced, with each one’s soft contours and razor-sharp edges showing the features of an extreme driving machine.
This SuperVeloce will be delivered to Lamborghini’s showroom in Hangzhou: China has become a
strategically important market for Lamborghini’s super sportscars. The Italian car manufacturer has a sales affiliate in China as well as seven dealers who have recorded an exponential increase in sales, with the Pacific-Asian area responsible for a quarter of all Lamborghini cars produced.
Murcielago series number 4,000 shows off its carbon fibre body painted in orange Arancione Atlas, a luxurious cockpit in Alcantara and carbon fibre inserts, black sports bucket seats with orange contrasting trim and an imposing rear spoiler which improves vehicle stability at high speeds.
