Breaking Lamborghini Murcielago Replacement News! The LP700-4

Thanks for great write-up Andrew, matte white with black with black wheels will be prachtvoll. I am not big fan of matte colors, but the matte pearl colors of Lamborghini and Bentley are simply close to perfection and giving the car really unique look.
From conversation with bud of mine yesterday I understood that first cars will be delivered late May, so you have to squeeze out of your dealer the earliest delivery date possible.
One question - anything to add about the engine, is it new engine or still not? From what I am hearing its all-new. Asking to double-check.

Whole car weighs same as the 670, I was told, so that implies the future stripped out version into low 1400kg's

Agreed, and should anyone want to try the matte look, why not use stickers for 1/20th of the factory paint price. And once you're bored with it (and you will), you can peel it off and your paint would look brand new as the sticker also double-functions as a protection film.

Thanks a lot Andrew. Strange thing about the weight. Those who were at the factory on the 8th were saying about 15% weight decrease comparing with LP640 which is closer to 1400 kg. Guys from Singapore reported 229 kg which is again closer to the 1400 kg. Then again I was hearing about weight similar to SV like you said.
Pearl matte is different story, those colors are simply amazing. I liked new pearl orange very much also, know its a bit interesting, but gorgeous for me.

Maybe parts of the confusion can be blamed on Lamborghini not telling the truth about their weights to begin with. In Sport Autos own tests the LP640 and the SV were considerably heavier than Lambos official figures.
Officially the SV weighed 1655 kg, the test showed it was actually 1751 kg. LP640s weight proved to be 1814 kg.

more random thoughts
regarding the weight, the slide said "229kg reduction - 15%", the correct name for the suspention i mentioned is "push rod".
the car looks exactly mlike reventon from the rear, front has a w shaped line separating the bonnet from the front bumper. air intakes look like the first renderings with black plastick parts on the inside of the intakes. the mirrors are just like the galleardo, the headlights are shaped more like the gallardo with an inverted Y led (or whatever it's called). i dig the car but not the matte yellow, rims, or the sound (people who enjoy aftermarket exhaust may be disappointed). also all the black parts should be in carbon fiber not just black!! the first mod i am going to do on my car will be carbon fiber upgrade!!!
P.S: JON how come i never see your car in monaco? literally never.
