The new 6.5 litre (6.496 cm3) 60° V-engine and 640 PS (471 kW) at 8,000 min-1 is now used also in the Lamborghini Murciélago LP460 . At 6,000 min-1 the 12-cylinder engine reaches the maximum torque of 660 Nm.
The increased power naturally leads to increased road performance. The maximum speed now lies at over 205 mph compared to 200 mph. The standard sprint from 0 to 62 mph is now reached by the Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 in an excellent 3.4 seconds making it 0.4 seconds faster than its forerunner.
Although the Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 is principally based on the Murciélago Coupé, it has further distinguishing features beyond its distinctive appearance. First and foremost, newly designed frame structure parts made of steel and carbon fibre guarantee an unswerving torsion resistance even without a roof. A special reinforcement structure in the engine area makes a major contribution to this aspect.
