From the Jota editions and Diablo VTs of the 1980s and '90s, to the more recent Gallardo Superleggera, Automobili Lamborghini has a thing for one-upping itself. So when the revised LP 640 Murcielago bowed in 2007, many figured it was only a question of time before an even faster, more powerful variant emerged. That time has come. Behold the Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce -- arguably the meanest, rip-snortin' Italian Bull Sant'Agata has ever produced.
Being unleashed on the world at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, the SuperVeloce (a nod to the brand's historic Sport Veloce or SV badge) is capable of some super velocity, with a claimed 212-mph top speed and 3.2-sec dashes to 62 mph.
If you hadn't already guessed, the 670 in the Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce's name stands for 670 horsepower. To the get those extra 30 ponies, Lamborghini started with a massage of its hand built 60-degree 6.5L V-12. The engine airflow system has been revised, and a thorough optimization of valve timing and travel length was performed. Controlling the synchronized operation of the motor's cylinder banks are a pair of processors keen on sensing when extra cooling and lubrication are needed. A lighter, more robust sounding exhaust system sharply announces each of the 670-hp exotic's six sequential e.gear shifts. As a no-cost option, owners can opt for a six-speed manual gearbox should they desire. Both transmissions utilize a lighter, dry single disc clutch meant for supreme performance when handling the 487 lb-ft of torque sent to all four-wheels.

Should the vociferous rumble not indicate its differences, the LP 670-4's exterior will surely do the trick. Up front, the car features a more angular and longer nose (by 2.16 in.) thanks to a matte-black carbon-fiber splitter designed to enhance downforce. Wider intakes provide additional cooling to the SuperVeloce's massive 15-in. carbon ceramic binders, and twin vertical elements form an extra central opening not found on the regular Murcielago's nose. Flanking the SV are matte black sill intakes that provide refreshing air to the oil cooler and motor. A transparent polycarbonate engine cover set in a carbon fiber frame further cools the fire-breathing V-12 and helps reduce weight in the process. For more details click here.
