This is the Lamborghini Murciélago SV, a more powerful, lightweight, rear-wheel-drive edition planned for launch later this year.

The SV, expected to be the last evolution of the Lambo’s range-topper, will be based on the current LP640 flagship.

Insiders at Sant’Agata claim that the SV will have more power than the 641bhp V12 Reventon, and should lose at least 100kg over the 1660kg LP640. Power output is expected to be around 680bhp.

Weight will be cut by losing the front differential and driveshafts, the electronic system that raises and lowers the rear spoiler and the multimedia system, and by using lightweight alloys and carbonfibre door panels.

Expect the SV’s static wing to come in carbonfibre, too, and for buyers to be able to choose between a smaller wing and the larger, more extravagant one seen in these pictures.

The Murciélago SV takes its name from the Diablo SV, which also lost its four-wheel drive system in favour of rear-wheel drive.

AWESOME!!! I like it.

Rear wing is hideous. Just wonder how much longer they're going to be able to keep upping the ante.

God that wing looks bad... Its just way too high. Lets hope the smaller wing looks better.

I've seen better wings on a ricer. LOL

oh no... jb

do not care about the wing: it is GREAT news

should be a real beast

Hi this is my first post here, I just have to say .. that 680 hp with only rear wheel drive.. needs a wing that's an ugly wing.. but.. it's usefull

Maybe so, but I agree with Raymondo: it's butt ugly.

Everything is good except for the rear wing.
