It has been a long wait, but it sure was worth it, the brand new, limited edition Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 Superveloce became a reality during the 2009 edition of the famous Geneva Auto Salon, a bright yellow example was unveiled on March 3rd during the official press conference held on the stand at 9:15.

Arriving at the stand early that day it became obvious just what kind of bull was ‘sleeping’ under it’s black satin cover, a very stylish ‘SV’ script could be seen on the side of this cover, and what was even better, it looks similar to the SV scripting found at the rear of one of the most beautiful and sought after Lamborghini of the early days the beautiful Miura SV, the heritage was clearly present, but the car wouldn’t be shown until 9:15 on March 3, when none other than Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Automobili Lamborghini SpA would proudly unveil the Superveloce to the gathered press in Geneva.

Part of the press conference was a stunning movie about the new LP670-4 Superveloce model, a high action film featuring an orange metallic car Raging around on the tarmac, very impressive and very suitable for a high performance evolution of the LP640 model.

When the cover finally came of in Geneva a bright yellow metallic Bull was shown featuring several, totally new parts compared to the ‘normal’ LP640 model, most of them being finished in a matte carbon fiber that contrasted beautifully with the bright body of the Superveloce, which we all know means Speed in Italian.

Taking a second look around we can clearly see the new, very aggressive front spoiler finished in clear carbon, the lower air intakes on both sides are also finished in this lightweight material and the totally re-designed rear diffuser with new, again centrally mounted exhaust naturally joined the carbon fiber sections.

Going up you just can’t miss that massive rear wing, mounted on some of the most beautiful struts ever seen, it again continues the carbon theme that actually ends on the outside with the brand new engine cover, now featuring hexagon glass parts that give a clear look at the magnificent V12 engine now pumping out no less than 670 Hp.

A small detail that might get lost in the impressive carbon fiber appendages are the exterior rear view mirrors, on the LP670-4 Superveloce these are modified compared to the original LP640 to improve aerodynamics even further.

Let’s open those trademark upwards opening doors and take a peak inside this limited edition Raging Bull (only 350 will be made by the way), you are greeted by a stunning upholstery in Alcantara, this high end material is covering just about every part in the interior that isn’t finished in carbon fiber.

Note that the central console between the seats has been mildly modified, and talking about seats, the Geneva show car had those really awesome looking sport seats mounted, they look so much in place in the Superveloce, even more when you order it with the optional four-point racing harness which really makes the LP670-4 look like a race car for the open road a completely street legal one by the way.

The Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 Superveloce has been eagerly awaited by many, both enthusiasts and owners, and I am sure none of them are disappointed by the car that was finally shown in Geneva, however with a production run of only 350 units you might want to get your order in as soon as possible, production of this very handsome exotic will quickly run out.

Performance

This Italian stallion, a flagship of Lamborghini’s lineup, is a potent cocktail of extreme performance, agility, and raw power that strikes a captivating chord in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts.

At the heart of the SV lies a naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter V12, a true mechanical marvel that hammers out an incredible 670 horsepower and 490 lb-ft of torque. This engine, with its distinctively raucous note, comes mated to a six-speed e-gear automated manual transmission that channels power to all four wheels. The drivetrain is a symphony of engineering prowess, tuned meticulously to deliver an unrelenting surge of power with a razor-sharp throttle response.

Step on the gas pedal and the Murciélago LP670-4 SV rockets from 0-60 mph in a scant 2.8 seconds, a testament to its remarkable traction and launch control capabilities. The car continues its relentless assault on the asphalt all the way to a top speed of 212 mph, a figure that is more at home on an airstrip than a public road.

Driving dynamics are sublime, thanks to a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system and an advanced pushrod-actuated coilover suspension. The latter helps to keep the car flat and composed through the corners, while the former ensures optimal grip and stability at high speeds. The steering is direct and communicative, providing ample feedback about what the car is doing beneath you.

Exterior

The exterior of the Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 SuperVeloce is an exquisite blend of aggressive design language and purposeful aerodynamics, resulting in a truly captivating presence on the road. Its low-slung silhouette, sharp angles, and distinctive scissor doors are unmistakable hallmarks of the Lamborghini brand, ensuring that the LP670-4 SV turns heads wherever it goes.

The front fascia is dominated by a wide, gaping air intake, flanked by sharply-styled, bi-xenon headlamps that provide excellent visibility in all conditions. The front splitter, crafted from carbon fiber, juts out menacingly, helping to direct airflow beneath the car to reduce drag and increase downforce.

Along the side, the distinctive air intakes, located just behind the doors, serve a dual purpose: feeding air to the massive V12 engine and aiding in cooling the high-performance brakes. The car’s ground-hugging stance is emphasized by the bold side skirts, while the pronounced wheel arches house lightweight, forged aluminum wheels wrapped in high-performance Pirelli P-Zero Corsa tires.

At the rear, the LP670-4 SV’s design is no less impressive. The massive, adjustable carbon-fiber wing stands proud, working in conjunction with the aggressive rear diffuser to optimize downforce and improve stability at high speeds. The taillights are slim and sleek, lending an air of sophistication to the otherwise brutal design. The rear end is completed by a center-mounted, quadruple exhaust system that amplifies the V12’s ferocious soundtrack.

The exterior of the Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 SuperVeloce is a perfect reflection of the car’s performance capabilities. It is a masterful combination of form and function, a design that not only captures attention but also enhances the driving experience through improved aerodynamics and cooling efficiency. In short, the LP670-4 SV’s exterior is a visual and technical tour de force that sets it apart from its peers.

Interior

The interior of the Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 SuperVeloce mirrors the car’s exterior ethos, blending uncompromising performance-focus with the undeniable allure of Italian luxury.

The cabin of the LP670-4 SV provides a cocoon of Alcantara and carbon fiber, two materials that echo the car’s motorsport roots. The lightweight, carbon-fiber sports seats are upholstered in black Alcantara with contrasting yellow stitching, providing a striking visual theme that can be found throughout the cabin. These seats are not just aesthetically pleasing, but are also designed to offer a high degree of lateral support during spirited driving.

In front of the driver, the multifunctional steering wheel is also trimmed in Alcantara, ensuring optimal grip and comfort. The instrument cluster is a mix of analog and digital displays, providing the driver with vital information about the car’s performance parameters. The tachometer takes center stage, while a digital screen provides additional details, including speed, gear selection, and various engine vitals.

The LP670-4 SV lacks the infotainment systems found in many contemporary supercars, reflecting its purist, performance-first philosophy. However, it does come equipped with a high-end audio system for those rare moments when the V12’s symphony isn’t the primary source of entertainment.

The center console, adorned in carbon fiber, is minimalistic and driver-focused. The start button is covered by a red flip-up cover, adding a touch of fighter-jet-like drama to the ignition process. The e-gear transmission can be controlled via large paddle shifters located behind the steering wheel, allowing for quick and engaging gear changes.

Despite the LP670-4 SV’s track-ready pretenses, Lamborghini has ensured that the cabin remains a relatively comfortable space. Air conditioning and power windows come as standard, while ample sound insulation keeps the majority of road and wind noise at bay.

Price

At its launch in 2009, the Murciélago LP670-4 SuperVeloce was priced around $450,000. Today, the value of these vehicles can vary significantly based on factors such as mileage, condition, provenance, and the number of options fitted.

Given its status as one of the most extreme and limited-edition models produced by Lamborghini (only 350 units were built), it is not uncommon to see well-maintained examples listed for over $500,000, and even higher in some cases. If you’re considering acquiring one of these remarkable machines, I would recommend consulting with a reputable luxury car dealer or auction house for the most accurate, up-to-date pricing information.
