The next Lamborghini Murcielago is set to look something like this, with a lighter, minimalist design. The new Murcielago will be a vast improvement on the previous one, utilising an aluminium spaceframe chassis from Audi, with a carbon fibre bodyshell.

With a lighter body, the next Murcielago is destined to really deliver on performance, with a 6.0-litre V12 engine with about 700 hp. A larger body will be combined with four-wheel drive for greater handling.

More efficient technology such as the first Lamborghini stop-start system and energy regeneration will be employed, preparing for development of the first Lamborghini hybrid sometime in 2015.

The design also gets a makeover, with updated spoiler and headlights, and a completely revised rear that includes LED tail-lights and a modified exhaust. The new Lamborghini Murcielago is expected to emerge in 2012.
