Spied: Lambo Murcielago Superleggera!

Sources on the ground at Germany's Nürburgring believe that this Lamborghini test car is a prototype for the Murcielago Superleggera-- a lighter, even more intense version of the Lamborghini supercar flagship.

The black panels on this prototype point to the same use of lighter-weight carbon-fiber and plastic panels found on the recently released Gallardo Superleggera, meaning this super Murcielago gets a new engine hood, door panels and central tunnel made out of the high-tech aerospace materials. Some of the glass has also likely been replaced by lighter-weight clear plastic, further reducing the Murcielago's mass. This prototype was also fitted with a massive rear wing, also likely crafted from carbon-fiber.

As with the Gallardo Superleggera, this new Murcielago is expected to get a power bump beyond its 640 horsepower, further intensifying the gains made from the 'Lago's weight reduction. Just how close the Murcielago Superleggera will get to 700 horsepower is currently unknown. Also unknown is exactly when this newest Superleggera will be available to the insanely wealthy, but a public debut at one of this fall's European motor shows seems logical.

i m soo happy...yayaya...lol

WOOOO HOOOO!

and about time too! cant wait till it comes out. it will be uber-awesome.
thanx AlxAmg for this

Lose the wing.

The "regular" lp640 can take the CGT as is.

That said, if they shave 500 or so pounds, and up the power to 680's...

At Nürburgring

With the Gallardo Superleggera (superlight) just out on the market, Lamborghini is developing a Superleggera version of the Murcielago as well. Racing its quick laps at the Nürburgring, the lovely sound of the V12 can be heard all over the village of Nürburg.

The weight reduction comes from swapping out a number of components with carbon fiber bits, like the door panels, engine cover, wing, mirrors and the central tunnel covering. Lamborghini is expecting to loose about 100-150 kg(250 pounds) with this operation giving the Superleggera a weight of 1500-1550 kg instead of the 1665 kg of the LP640.

Whether the gigantic wing in the back will be an option like on the Gallardo, or whether it will be standard is uncertain. But with power likely to be reaching 700 bhp and with the lighter body it can be expected that the Superleggera will reach a top speed of 350 km/h(217 mph) in which case it could use as much help as possible to keep it on the track.

We hope to see the Murcielago Superleggera on the motor show in Frankfurt this September.

As much as Lamborghini people hate to admit it the racing inspired Ferraris generally seem to out perform the stylish, colorful Lamborghinis, but now with these "Superleggera" models Ferrari may be in for some troube.

I wanna see this thing run the Top Gear track again... Possibly beat the Ferrari Enzo?

yea i agree, it shud beat the ENZO, has anyone seen ENZO's lap on Top Gear, well i have to admit it was soooo god damn flat . anyways this will definitely beat the ENZO and hopefully the CCX. does anyone know when is Clarkson and the crew coming back with the next season. i m so addicted to top gear

Top Gear is so awesome.

The current lp640 is sixth I beleive, just ahead of the Carrera GT.
