Exclamation Lamborghini Murcielago SV with rwd and 680-hp coming later this year

Work on Lamborghini’s upcoming Murcielago SV is progressing as planned. The more powerful, lightweight, rear-wheel-drive LP640 is planned for launch later this year. Insiders have told AutoCar that the SV will have more power than the Reventon and will be should weight 100kg less than the LP640. How much more powerful than the Reventon? Sources say that the Lamborghini Murcielago will have at least 39 more horsepower than the Reventon coming in at 680. Weight will be reduced by dropping the front differential and driveshafts, the gadgets that raise and lower the rear spoiler, the multimedia system and with the use of carbon fiber body parts and light alloy wheels. Buyers will be able to opt for a smaller wing or a large wing, both made with carbon fiber.

Not a huge fan of Lamborghini, but the LP560 and the new Murcie SV are definitely signs of them trending in the right direction.

Agree, RWD minus that huge wing tho. How about a SV version of the updated Gallardo...i'd be all about that.

small wing obviously - but its a step in the right direction. I don't know what I would think if I just plunked down a million and change for the 2nd most powerful lambo...

Couldn't agree more... All of my buddies I go riding with are lambofreaks, me I love looking at theirs but just way too many on the streets and hate the driving dynamics/awe and heavy feel. This should be badddddd though, 680 rwd and lighter mmmm.
