Italian Super sportscar manufacturer
Automobili Lamborghini proudly celebrates a historic event: an LP 670-4
SuperVeloce version of its current flagship V12 Murciélago, 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 Murciélago SuperVeloce LP 670-4 carrying series number 4,000 is a
lightweight version of the Murciélago 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.

Murciélago 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.
