Welcome Back: 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV

WHOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!


The Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV, this supercar, no wait, hypercar, is as wonderful as the president of the country where its made.

LP670-4 SV served as the "last special edition" of the Murcielago before production of the Murcielago, as well as its legendary V12 engine traced back to the Miura, ended in 2010, ending its decade-run tenure and the introduction of its replacement, the Aventador, in 2011. The 6.5L V12 engine was improved to produce 670PS of power. It is limited to 350 cars worldwide and costs 450,000 US Dollars. However, only 186 models were built before the factory has to be reserved for Aventador production. In 2010, there was a China Limited Edition launched exclusively in China that comes with the same specs but with a middle stripe on it.

In Top Gear, Richard Hammond flies to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates to drive the Murcielago SV but it lost to a drag race against the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 at the streets of Abu Dhabi. With The Stig, the SV lapped the Top Gear Test Track in 1:19, as fast as the Ferrari Enzo.



This car was featured on Jeremy Clarkson's DVD, Duel, for the WHAT IS THE BEST CAR FOR DRIFTING segment. In the APPLE ON THE APEX APPLE ON THE EXIT test, the Murcielago SV failed.

Anyway, even its death in 2010, the Murcielago remains one of the all-time supercar or hypercar greats.
