Lamborghini Murcielago Review

Overview4 out of 5

The LP670-4 SuperVeloce is the last of the line of Murcielago supercars and Lamborghini has gone all out to make it the most hardcore descendant of a proud, and always slightly unhinged, family. It's also the last time we'll see the glorious V12, which can stretch its parentage all the way back to the original supercar - the Lamborghini Miura.

Among many headline figures, the LP670 SV costs £270,597, hits 62mph from rest in just 3.2 seconds and tops out at 212mph. The 6.5-litre V12 engine has revised breathing to free up a colossal 661bhp and this is fired to all four wheels via a six-speed sequential manual gearbox that has the best looking paddle shifters of any car thanks to them being crafted from carbon fibre.

The other key figure to remember with the LP670-4 is 100kg, which is how much lighter the SV is over a 'normal' Murcielago. That's the weight of a stocky male passenger that's been stripped out of the SV, bringing its all-up weight under that of a BMW M3 with less than two-thirds of the Lambo's power.

Lamborghini doesn't expect to sell many LP670-4 SVs as this car is intended to be the most extreme way of saying goodbye to the Murcielago. To underline this, all LP670-4 SVs come with massive carbon brake discs, revised bodywork that includes a more jutting front spoiler and a huge rear spoiler that helps press the car into the road in faster corners.
