Review Spec Price and Manual

The new version of the super sports car features a very successful innovation is sufficiently large in terms of body design and mechanics. And also with a new name: Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, which ers to its engine position - posteriore longitudinal - and the power of 640 hp. Designers and engineers not only focused on reworking the engine, suspension, gearbox, exhaust system, brakes and electronics, but also interior and exterior design, improvements that make the fastest car Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 and extreme sports in its class, placing it at the top.

The first vehicles will be available in spring 2006. Since the start of the original Lamborghini Murcielago in the Salon International de lAutomobile 2001 (IAA) in Frankfurt, around 2,000 vehicles have left the car plant in Sant Agata Bolognese.

The unique design

In their reinterpretation of the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, the designers of the Lamborghini Style Centre remained faithful to the traditional Lamborghini principles of purism, sport and function. Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 now appears even more aggressive, with new front and rear contribute significantly to the appearance. Exhaust system terminal has been incorporated in the diffuser on the rear bumper. Other innovations include the rear lights, which enhance the distinguishing features of the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, making it recognizable, even at night. The design side is also worth mentioning: while the area behind the air intake on the right side practically closed, the left has a large aperture for cooling the oil radiator. Together with a set of front and rear aerodynamics, which proves once again that the shape of the Lamborghini is determined by the function.

For those who like to flaunt their heart Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, on request an engine hood made of transparent glass can be provided. Mirrors and wipers have been modified to improve aerodynamics and "Hermes" wheels steel wheels have been added. Graphs of the lighting of the dashboard in the cockpit have been revamped. Interior upholstery also has a new look thanks to the diamond-shaped stitching.

More powerful engines

Engine Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 has undergone tremendous modifications and radical. Bear increased and longer stroke have prompted the displacement of the classic 60 ° V-engine from 6.2 liters to 6.5 liters (6496 cm3). So it has been a remarkable 580 HP engine power is increased to an impressive peak of 640 hp (471 kW) at 8000 min-1. 12-cylinder engine reaches maximum torque of 660 Nm at 6000 min-1. Naturally, the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 in accordance with every European and North American law governing exhaust fumes.

This "evolutionary leap forward" was made possible thanks to a coherent review of every engine component: the cylinder head and intake system complete (based on proven Lamborghini variable geometry) has been completely reworked. Crankshaft, camshaft and exhaust systems also experience innovation.

The increase in power naturally determines an increase in performance. Excellent performance of the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 means can now accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.4 seconds (0.4 seconds faster than previous models).

Lamborghini engineers also concentrated on improving torque development. The "handling" of the machine is enhanced by the system continuously variable valve timing (inlet and exhaust) and the system of drive-by-wire engine management.

To meet the thermal requirements of the engine, the engineers have planned an oil cooler and more thereafter, the air intake on the left side of the vehicle has been expanded. Liquid cooling system, characterized by the Lamborghini VACS system (variable geometry air intake system) remains the same. Managed air intakes open depending on outside temperature electronics and the need for cooling air, ensuring maximum aerodynamic efficiency.

Gearbox and transmission: improved efficiency and strength




More power and higher torque call for superior performance component box. To meet the new requirements, the new Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 features sixratio modified gearbox and rear differential and new axle shafts hardening. Upon request, the e-gear automatic gearbox is also available equipped with a "Thrust" new dedicated (acceleration program) mode.

Like its predecessor, the Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 features permanent four-wheel drive, based on the reliable Lamborghini VT (viscous traction) system. The system is autonomous and has no electronic control. The driving force is usually divided between the front and rear axles at a ratio of 30 to 70. An independent control circuit adjusts the driving force distribution based on dynamic oscillation, weight distribution and the relative friction factor in perfect sync with the Visco clutch. In extreme cases, up to 100% of the driving force can be applied on a single shaft.

Electronics: a "closed loop" for total control

Electronics have also been updated. Modified engine control units improve engine performance and "handling" in control "closed loop".

Every engine and vehicle parameter is operated and controlled by a three-unit control unit "master" and "satellite" control. The control unit consists of two "lied" engine control unit Lamborghini, Lamborghini "GFA" (Auxiliary Services Management) control unit and the Lamborghini "PMC" (Power Motor Control) satellite control unit. The control unit is connected by a CAN bus.

Frame and chassis: perfect harmony

The body of Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 with characteristic scissor doors made popular by the union of sheet steel and honeycombed carbon fiber, bonded and riveted together.

Driving, handling and stability at high speed are enhanced by new springs and stabilizers, as well as a redesigned electronically controlled damper. The "antide" and "anti-squat" features on the axles, which efficiently prevent so-called "brake diving" and "squatting", have not changed. These two springs on every rear wheel, the spring one in each front wheel and the damper are placed coaxially.

The new aluminum "Hermes" rims measure 8 ½ "x 18" (front rail) and 13 "x 18" (rear axle). Vehicles may be equipped with various sizes of Pirelli P Zero "Rosso" tires. The Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 features 245/35 ZR front tires and 335/30 ZR 18 rear tires 18 For the use of sports. especially on racetracks, Lamborghini provides optional Pirelli P Zero "Corsa" (Race) tires. Pirelli P "Sottozero" (Sub zero) winter tires that are being developed.

Brakes and safety: optional ceramic carbon brakes




A super sports car like the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 ensures high safety levels.

Dual hydraulic brake system is equipped with a vacuum brake booster ensures considerable deceleration values. The front 380 mm self-ventilated and rear brake disks measure 355 mm x 34 mm x 32 mm respectively. The control circuit four channel anti-lock (ABS) with electronic brake control (DRP) and traction control (TCS) has a new characteristic curve. This system consists of electro-hydraulic control unit and four speed sensors.

When extremely high performance braking is required, on request it is possible to equip the vehicle with 380 mm x 36 mm ceramic carbon brakes calipers with six pistons. Thus, less pressure should be placed on the brake pedal and reduced braking distances. Even in extremely demanding, almost no obvious fading. Significantly reduced weight and superior period represent two further advantages, as well as captivating graphic design.

Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 also meets, even with more stringent safety requirements. Thank you for the two front airbags (60-liter single-stage air bag on the drivers side and 130 liter two stage airbag on the passenger side), Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 comply with any applicable international law in terms of front and side crashes, impacts against posts, occupant safety, fuel supply integrity and flammability of materials. Luggage compartment is also in accordance with safety regulations safety.

Interior: even more exclusive and personal
Seats in the cockpit have undergone the most radical change, more spacious and equipped with redesigned head restraints, seats now ensure better comfort. The leather upholstery features candy-shaped stitching called the same pattern repeated on the upholstery on the door panel, the panel between the seats and the engine compartment, and the roof panels "Q-Citura.".

A new dashboard has been developed by a lamp with a new graphic design, flanked by a new car radio with a Kenwood 6.5 "wide screen and DVD, MP3 and WMA. An optional navigation system is also available (standard in Japan).

Like its predecessor, the Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 can be customized with special fittings and upholstery packages. For the first time, renowned characteristic Murciélago Roadster asymmetric and driver-oriented fittings and upholstery are available for the Coupé, with perforated leather drivers seat and door panels.

Thank you to customize the program "Privilegio", while the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 can be transformed into a custom sports car. For example, the cockpit can be enhanced with a highly ined carbon finish applied to the control panel air conditioner control lever console and the parking brake.

Who has believed that achieved with the design of Oakley tricked Aventador the current Lamborghini flagship, the flagpole has been, not the noble tuner Mansory taken into account. For what this tuner has now put together is pretty impressive. Highlight the "Lamborghini Aventador Carbonado" its outer skin made ​​of ultra lightweight carbon fiber.


Design
This outrageously expensive carbon compound helps the Aventador not only an impressive look, but also reduces its weight. In combination with a performance which has naturally affected the performance. Fall on the front apron marked with optimized air intakes, the new front lip and daytime running proprietary. The modifications to improve the cooling and downforce. In addition, Mansory replaced the front fenders and the bonnet by our own developments. The flanks grow it by 40 millimeters at the front and 50 millimeters at the rear axle in the width. Redesigned side skirts there may not be missing. At the rear, built a completely new apron with integrated diffuser. In addition, an enlarged rear spoiler provides better driving stability at high speeds. The replacement of the roof and engine cover with full carbon components round off the comprehensive aerodynamic package.


Performance as Brother from Another Planet
Thanks to an intervention in engine management and a new exhaust system, the performance of the 6.5-liter twelve cylinder engine to 754 hp and 750 Nm (standard: 700 hp and 690 Nm). Thus equipped, catapulting the black four-wheel-floor in 2.8 seconds from 0 to 100 on speed The maximum speed is 355 km / h also slightly higher than the base car (standard: 2.9 seconds and 350 km / h). The necessary contact with the road 255/30 R20 or make 345/25 R21-rollers (front / rear).


Interior
As with all of its models Mansory can of course also in the interior of Aventador Carbonado not ignore. The highlights include the massive use of a particularly durable but soft leather, the newly designed sports steering wheel, non-slip aluminum pedals and real carbon components in the doors, the dashboard and center console.

Of Lamborghini Carbonado, there will be only six. Prices Mansory reveals only real prospects who have the wherewithal. With over half a million Euro but you will have to reckon.

Lamborghini wants to expand its model range in the next few years, a promising candidate is the newly unveiled as a concept car Urus, an SUV with sports car genes.
The 2013 Lamborghini Urus Concept combines the sporty look and performance of the Aventador with the benefits of an SUV. It would not be the first SUV, the Urus of the brand in the mid-1980s saw the first of the LM002 SUV with sports car engine for a lot of attention.

In addition to the sports car would be an SUV, a perfect complement to the Lamborghini line-up, after all, is the segment of the luxury SUV a world rapidly growing and offers plenty of room for new products.

With a length of 4.99 meters and a height of only 1.66 meters of the lamborghini Urus is much flatter than its competitors. Through its proportions, the big SUV also has a very dynamic and muscular.
In the rectangular front end you can see the similarity to Aventador very clear, while the coupe-like rear was designed with the small and rather round taillights with Y-signature looks very striking.

The look alone makes but still no Lamborghini, the engine must also keep what the exterior promises. Under the hood of the Urus Concept works 600 hp (440 kW), so that this enormous power is put on the road, make a four wheel drive and traction system for maximum traction and road holding.

Thanks to the use of lightweight materials such as carbon fiber, the Lamborghini urus is also set new standards for weight, and so have in terms of power consumption and a good CO2 balance.

The interior of the Lamborghini Urus still seems very futuristic, but leaves the way into the series already know well. Like the LM002 is dominated by a very wide center tunnel the interior, passengers will find four sport bucket seats.

The interior is lightweight Lamborghini continues its strategy and is used mainly very light materials such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic.

The operating philosophy of the Lamborghini is greatly reduced. So behind the steering wheel paddles just for the double-clutch gearbox can be found. All other functions such as turn signals, lights and wipers are either integrated into the multifunction steering wheel or outsourced to the center console.

His driver receives the information from a user-programmable LCD screen behind the steering wheel. The additional functions such as navigation, entertainment and climate are controlled via a touch screen on the center tunnel. Another touch is the rear passengers.
