IAB Comment: Is this a new path taken by Lamborghini to compensate for the ‘Global Warming’ caused by its cars?
Fastest Lambo now in India; all yours for 3.6 crore rupees!
Exclusive Motors, the sole retailer of Lamborghini cars in India has launched the insanely powerful & the fastest Lambo to ever go into production – the Murcielago LP670-4 SV (Super Veloce) in the Indian market.
The car is powered by a 6.5 litre V12 engine that churns out 658 rampageous Italian horses. The SV comes equipped with a 6-speed sequential, automated manual transmission E-gear, which uses electro-hydraulics to shift gear extremely quickly. It does a 0-100 in a breathtaking 3.2 seconds & can touch speeds of 342 km/h.
The car gets a lot of carbon fiber kit which makes it 34 kg lighter than the standard Murcielago at 1565 kg. The car gets a new chassis, transmission & new interiors as well over the standard Murcielago. The car has a construction similar to that of a race car & the transmission tunnel on this one is also made up of carbon fiber. There is a choice of two aerodynamic setups featuring either a small or large rear spoiler.
On the inside too there is oodles of carbon fiber with the bucket seats made out of them & lined with alcantara micro fiber. The Murci has a double wishbone suspension & spring struts, two on each of the rear wheels & one each on the front wheels. It gets 245 section rubber in the front & 335 at the rear on the 18 inch alloy wheels. It also has carbon ceramic brakes & a race prepped ABS.
The car is priced at a cool 3.6 crore rupees ex-showroom Delhi. It is available in eight color options but the tastiest of the lot has to be the trademark Lambo i.e Yellow!
Ferrari in Lamborghini edition...
Take a very close look at this car , because you’ll probably not see anything like this very soon! It looks like a cross breed between a Lamborghini Reventon and a Ferrari Enzo ! The bad bit is that it is not as good looking as any of them.
Named Predator Xtreme, it divides amazing creative design elements from several cars: Enzo front type, and seats in the headlights like Lamborghini, the arrangement of seats as McLaren F1 and even stop lights from the Infiniti G35. Besides the final result is horrible, quality of construction is not as good as you can infer from the pictures.
The interiors seem to be put together with low quality components and just look at the aftermarket stereo which is out of place. The guy would have spent as much money in making this car as Lamborghini/Ferrari spend on designing their wheel rims! Anyways share your views

lamborghi reventon roadster
A roadster version of the vehicle was unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. Cars UK reported the production of 9 Lamborghini Reventón Roadsters, with a MSRP of €1,200,000. The car would use the engine from the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce. Autocar has since published a report, in July 2009, saying that potential buyers have been shown the car - although a Lamborghini spokesman told the publication that reports of the car were "just speculation". Production was set for a run of 20 units, with a MSRP of €1,100,000.
The Reventón's engine was a slightly tuned version of the Murciélago LP640's 6.5 L V-12, rated at 640 hp (480 kW).[1][6] According to the official release, the Reventón accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in the same time as the Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 (3.4 seconds), and is capable of reaching a maximum speed of over 340 km/h (210 mph).[2] Using the internal speedometer, the recorded top speed was displayed as 356 km/h (221 mph).[15][16]
lamborghi marcielago
The Murciélago is a four-wheel drive, mid-engined sports car. Its coupé body is especially low-slung, with its roof rising to just under four feet above the ground. The supercar features scissor doors, which contribute to its exotic image. First-generation Murciélagos, produced between 2001 and 2006, were powered by a 6.2-litre V12 which traces its roots back to the company's beginnings in the 1960s. The rear differential is integrated into the engine unit, and the four-wheel drive features a central viscous coupler. Power was sent to the wheels through a six-speed manual. The Murciélago possesses an independent double-wishbone suspension design, and features a combination of carbon-fiber and steel bodywork. The rear spoiler and the air scoops integrated into the car's shoulders are electromechanically activated, and fold out from the body at high speeds to aid aerodynamic performance and provide additional engine cooling, respectively.
Lamborghini gallardo
It is a limited (250 units) version named after Lamborghini test driver Valentino Balboni. The engine was rated at 550 PS (405 kW; 542 hp). The vehicle had dry weight of 1,380 kg (3,000 lb). Unlike the contemporary line-up, this model is rear wheel drive (because the standard all-wheel drive system was removed).
The CORSA ESP setting allows greater drift angles over regular models.
Other features include re-calibrated optional e-gear transmission, redeveloped 45% limited slip differential, full leather black upholstery with white colour strips, Polar white centre console, a stripe down the centre of the car, and a badge below the left side window bears the signature of Valentino Balboni and the production number of the car.
The Lamborghini LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni can reach a top speed of 199 mph and reach 0–100 km/h in 3.9 seconds.[27]
The vehicle has MSRP of €162000 (Europe), £137900 (UK), $219800 (US).[28]
In 2009, the car was voted Top Gear's car of the year; Richard Hammond explained: "We were impressed with its stripe, its V10 engine, its rear wheel drive, the savagery of its exhaust, and its, er, stripe."

lamborghi diablo
The Diablo was presented to the public for sale on January 21, 1990, at a base price of $240,000 at the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo during the second Lamborghini Day.[2] Power came from a 5,709 cc (348 cu in), 48-valve version of the existing Lamborghini V12 featuring dual overhead cams and computer-controlled multi-point fuel injection, producing a maximum output of 367 kW (492 hp) and 580 N·m (428 lb·ft) of torque. The vehicle could reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in slightly under 4 seconds, with a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph). The Diablo was originally rear-wheel drive and the engine was mid-mounted to aid its weight balance.
Despite its nearly $250,000 MSRP, the vehicle was somewhat spartan, featuring only basic radio functions (a CD player was an available option) along with manual windows, manually adjustable seats and no anti-lock brakes; these features were omitted largely to minimize the vehicle's already high curb weight. A few options were available, including having the driver's seat molded specifically to the buyer, a rear spoiler, a factory fitted luggage set (priced at $2,600) and an exclusive Breguet clock for the dash (priced at $10,500).
The Diablo was the fastest production car in the world for the 1991 model year,[5] having a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph), which exceeded the 324 km/h (201 mph) of the previous title-holder, the Ferrari F40. The Diablo held the title until the release of the Jaguar XJ220 in 1993, which claimed a top speed of 349 km/h (217 mph).
Lamborghini Countach
The Countach was styled by Marcello Gandini of the Bertone design studio, the same designer and studio that designed the Miura. Gandini was then a young, inexperienced designer—not very experienced in the practical, ergonomic aspects of automobile design, but at the same time unhindered by them. He produced a quite striking design. The Countach shape was wide and low (42.1 inches), but not very long. Its angular and wedge-shaped body was made almost entirely of flat, trapezoidal panels. There were curves, notably the smoothly coke-bottle wing line, but the overall appearance was sharp.
The doors, a Countach trademark, were scissor doors: hinged at the front with horizontal hinges, so that the doors lifted up and tilted forwards. The main reason is the car's tubular spaceframe chassis results in very high and wide door sills. It was also partly for style, and partly because the width of the car made conventional doors impossible to use in an even slightly confined space. Care needed to be taken, though, in opening the doors with a low roof overhead. The car's poor rear visibility and wide sills led to drivers adopting a method of reversing the car for parking by opening the door, sitting on the sill, and reversing while looking over the back of the car from outside.)
