China seems an important market for the Italian carmaker as it has unveiled a limited edition model bearing its name - the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce China. The Lamborghini Murcielago SV China is powered by the 6.5 liter V12 engine developing an increased 670 hp while the car is 100 kg (220 lbs) lighter than the standard model. This engine can take the Lamborghini Murcielago SV China from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and up to a time bending 342 km/h top speed.
The Lamborghini Murcielago SV China will be limited to 10 units and it has been designed where else, but China. The Lamborghini Murcielago SV China comes with a flat grey exterior paint job featuring an orange stripe, that the company
says it symbolizes the strength of an erupting volcano. Will this stripe stop air traffic? The carmaker says the Lamborghini Murcielago SV China will feature a numeration badge with the name of its owner.
The Lamborghini Murcielago SV China price has not been announced yet.

Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce China Limited Edition
Limited to only ten cars worldwide, the special edition Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is designed and manufactured exclusively for China’s most discriminating super sports car enthusiasts. An orange stripe, symbolising the strength of an erupting volcano, decorates the flat grey painted carbon shell of the Murcielago. Every model holds a numeration badge with the name of its owner.
The Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is one of the most fascinating super sports cars of all times. The exceptionally purist and even more extreme top model – the Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce – is even more powerful, lighter and faster than the Murcielago LP 640. With the output of the 6.5 liter V12 increased to 670 hp and a weight reduction of 100 kg (220 lbs),
the Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce boasts a power-to-weight ratio of 2.3 kg (5.1 lbs) per hp. It vaults itself from zero to 100 km/h in just 3,2 seconds and hits top speed at 342 km/h.
With its outstanding performance, razor-sharp precision and exceptional high-speed stability, the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is the ultimate performance car for advanced sports car drivers. In order to achieve the substantial weight reduction of 100 kilograms (220 lbs), the Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce was extensively reworked and redeveloped in virtually every aspect – from chassis to engine and transmission, right through to the interior. The increase in engine output from 640 to 670 hp is the result of optimized valve timing and a reworked intake system. The significantly modified aerodynamics with substantially increased downforce brings considerable improvement to vehicle stability at very high speeds. The large “Aeropack Wing” and its added downforce give a top speed of 337 km/h (209 mph).
