What's This – A Hotter Murcielago...?

What's this – a hotter Murcielago?

So it seems. Lamborghini's top brass swore blind at the launch of the Gallardo that there was no stripped-out Murcielago LP640 waiting in the wings. 'The LP640 is wild enough,' Stephan Winkelmann, Lamborghini's president told us. But he's obviously changed his mind – as our exclusive pictures of this lightweight Lambo special show.

Despite the impenetrable ring of secrecy surrounding the development of this new iteration – no one at Lamborghini will officially acknowledge its existence – our sources claim the LP640 will not adopt the Superleggera name, but rather the more hallowed Superveloce badge.
