Default Enter the rumormill: $1.5 million limited-edition Lambo coming

Found this on autoblog, won't have to wait long to see if it's true or not, or maybe someone here knows something.....???

This is by no means substantiated in any way other than a forum post, but a member of the FerrariChat forum is reporting that Lamborghini will privately unveil a new supercar based on the LP640 Murcielago (shown) and costing $1.5 million to a select group at the Pebble Beach Concours this week. The rumor goes that 20 will be made, with 15 earmarked for the U.S., and that the new supercar's official unveiling will occur at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. We have people on the ground at the Pebble Beach Concours this week with cameras ready in case a tent flap gets blown up by the wind, and we'll of course be in Frankfurt next month, as well. Just how powerful and fast this new Lambo will be, and whether the rumor is even true, is still unknown.

I am going to be the first to guess that it is going to be a Murcie with the Bugatti Veyron Engine....

It's going to be a LP640 R-GT... no Im kidding. This is a really interesting rumor, I'm thinking its going to be a very hyper car, more focused on track than anything before. There are lots of signs that Lamborghini are getting more and more serious about track times (Gallardo Superleggera, upcoming Murcielago LP640 SV/Superleggera)

2004 R-GT for fun.

Maybe the LP640 variant we've seen spy photos of before? Although the price seems a bit outragous...

I hear it's going to have a moded Veyron Engine with 1200hp.
The chassis is going to be made out of Carbon Fiber.
