The Lamborghini Murcielago is an aging beast. Since its introduction in 2001, the big Lambo has bred a seemingly endless string of variants, including fixed-roof and open-top models, the upgraded LP640, Versace special editions and, of course, the seven-figure Reventon supercar. But before Sant'Agata replaces the Murcielago, it will debut what could be range's the ultimate rendition at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.

Lambo's performance engineers will do their best to counteract the Murcielago's Jurassic-age steel chassis by trimming weight in order to give the behemoth the Superleggera treatment it performed on the previous Gallardo. As previously reported, carbon fiber and magnesium are expected to be employed, along with removing some extraneous trim in the interior, to cut some 220-pounds from the stock Murcielago.

The lighter Lambo is also expected to get an upgraded engine, pumping out 670 horsepower -- 30 more than the existing LP640 thanks in part to a roof-mounted induction system -- and the SV will retain the big bull's all-wheel drive system (earlier speculation suggested that the car would in fact be rear-wheel drive). A choice of rear wings will be available, E-gear shift times have reportedly been halved to just 0.2 seconds, and gloss black forged alloys will be fitted, along with carbon-ceramic brakes to trim unsprung weight and increase stopping power. We should know more about the long-named Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce as we get closer to the Geneva show, so stay tuned.

Great car. I can hardly wait for Geneva. My dealer saw real car at factory and told that it looks simply amazing, all that mules and scale cars showed at presentations all around the world, do not justify how this car looks in flash.

 

Flash - a-ah - he'll save everyone of us!!!

 

Looks very promising. Perhaps lambo's first threatening supercar?

 

"Murci, Murci Me!" Ha! That made my day. Did you come up with that yourself DJ?

 

Madness.

I can only imagine. I've been in one Murci in my life and those suckers are quick!

670hp? Man, oh man! I can't wait until 1,000hp becomes the new "standard" - I don't think we're too far away.

 

Oh man, this'll be an absolute beast! I can't wait to see it! The roof scoops sound cool as I really liked the ones on the original SV.

 

I am excited to see this new Bull. Yet it makes me wonder what it's replacement will finally be?

 

I've seen the car design and specs firsthand. It will not look anything like the pics above or any other floating on the internet. They have done an excellent job as usual keeping things under wraps until the official unveiling! The new SuperVeloce will have the best looking Lamborghini stock wheels ever from what I have seen!! It will dominate in all performance categories from the specs that was presented to me by Stefan Winkelmann! The Murcielago will go out with a big bang! If I remember correctly I do not think there will be any sort of roof induction on this car.
