Lamborghini is keeping its word by releasing a new model every year. Next in the bullpen is the Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV. Based on the current Murcielago LP640, the LP670-4 SV will feature 662 horsepower from an updated 6.7-liter V12 and will weight 3671 Lbs, just 200 Lbs lighter than the current car.

The SV will use all 4 wheels to propel it to 60 in 3.2 seconds, an item that has been up for debate since the car was first rumored to exist.

A member of FerrariChat claims to have seen the car in person and says that it’ll have a more aggressively designed front with intakes on the hood, new gloss-black painted wheels, new side mirrors, a redesigned rear fascia and a choice of two spoilers, standard or more aggressive. Additionally, you can spec your new LP670-4 SV with a large ‘SV’ graphic on the side in case the Murci wasn’t eye-catching enough.

The interior features extensive use of Alcantara Suede and leather as well as a redesigned steering wheel, possibly similar to the one featured in the Estoque Concept.

Lamborghini is expected to officially announce the car in March 2009 while first deliveries will begin in June. Expect to pay a 25% increase over the standard LP640 for the 350 unit, limited edition Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV.

Managed to get an early look at the LP670-4 today. Interesting car.

A couple of observations:

> Named: Murcielago LP670-4 SV.
> Shaved off 100 kg of weight relative to LP640.
> Added 30 hp of power relative to LP640.
> Net result: 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds.
> Limited edition of 350 units, made over the next year

Looks-wise the car is quite aggressive. There are more angles to the front, and they have nicely incorported air intakes on the hood next to the A-Piller. The wheels are a new design and will be a shiny black - the design is nice; I don’t care much about the shiny black part. The side mirrors are also nicely redesigned. The back in incredibly aggressive. Although the tail housing remains the same, the bumper protrusions are significant - think Gallardo SL. There is a choice of a standard wing or a more aggressive wing. Standard wing takes top speed up to 342 km/h (2 more than the LP640). The larger wing limits top speed to 337 km/h. Extensive use of carbon fibre all around. The lower edges of the car will be a matte-black carbon fiber while the upper portions will be a gloss black. You can get a big “SV” on the side as an option. Carbon ceramic brakes are standard. Proportions relative to the LP640 remain the same.

Interior of the car looks very nice. Extensive use of alcantara. Passenger side has choice of leather as well. Redesigned steering wheel.

Overall the car looks hunkered down and mean. Price in Singapore is US$1.1 mm, but worldwide price benchmark used was 25% premium to the standard LP640 price.

Car will be officially announced in March 2009. First deliveries in June 2009.
