Lamborghini releases first images of the Murciélago LP 650-4 Roadster

Automobili Lamborghini has released the first photographs of a limited edition Murciélago LP 650-4 Roadster. The Roadster version of the Murciélago will offer an uprated 6.5 litre V12 engine that produces 650 hp (478 kW) along with permanent four-wheel drive: hence the model’s LP 650-4 moniker. With 660 Nm of torque, top performance is at 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in 3.4 seconds. The top speed is around 330 Km/h (205mph).

The special edition model will be produced in a limited volume (50 units only), with a Grigio Telesto exterior that combines grey bodywork with a special bright orange Arancio LP 650-4 featured on the front spoiler and sills. The LP 650-4 logo applied to the car’s exterior is recognition of the car’s increased power. The car features orange brake calipers and a transparent V12-engine cover, which shows off the V12 engine behind the driver.

Interior features echo the car's striking grey-and-orange exterior: besides the orange touches, there is an asymmetric dash design, with black Alcantara Nera on the driver's side, including door panel and central tunnel, and black leather Nero Perseus on the passenger's side.

The increased power of the Murciélago engine, from 640 to 650 hp, will be unique to the Murciélago LP 650-4 Roadster: it demonstrates even further the developments that Lamborghini is able to offer from a current engine, and creates the exclusive characteristic of the Murciélago LP 650-4 Roadster.

Well said.

It's not my type of car, but I love it.

from the next Lambo onwards that stupid grey colour will be officially forbidden by the taste-police.

Lambos have neve been about taste, though.

As long as it is outragerous, dangerous and very fast all is well.

But gray is so dull. That colour scheme makes the car look like safety equipment.

[RacingManiac]

definitely odd color....these pics are not as nice to look at as the SV....

[Kitdy]

These names are silly.

Murcielago, Murcielago LP640, Murcielago SV, Roadster, Roadster 650.

Gallardo, Gallardo Superlegerra, Gallardo SV (instead of LP560-4). Much cleaner methinks.

so you can have the Reventòn's exhaust, but you have to live with an ugly color scheme.
and even tasteless (the only tasteless previous cars from Lamborghini are the last editions of the Countach or the Jalpa, imo).
I don't see why this should be a limited edition (apart from the color scheme). Lamborghini Veyron?!

My friend likes the Battleship Gray a lot of resent Lambos have been shown in because "They're about to go to war. War with the laws of physics."

[Ferrer]

That's a good way of seeing it.

The orange paint is abominable, and I've grown bored with the Murci's look.

I'd still drive it.

[Roentgen]

It looks like a car tuned by some big tuning company, and I don't particularly like the LP650 badges everywhere. I would also prefer the paint to be of a lighter shade of grey...

But other than that, I think the orange inserts look pretty awesome.

Where's the mini-gun?

[Black Edition]

I love it.
