The next jewell in the crown from Lamborghini will be the new Murcielago LP670-4 SV. With the name likely to stick, Lamborghini fans will be able to figure out the main characteristics of the most powerful Lamborghini made, which could be launched at the Geneva motor show in March.

While the V12 Murcielago should reach 670hp, it will likely include all wheel drive despite the historic SV name, which could disappoint afficionados. While the overall weight is likely to be similar to the LP 640 sister, the look is likely to change with modifications similar to the 2007 Gallardo Superleggera.

The rear wing should come in varying options and based on the aerodynamics chosen, the maximum speed should range between 337 and 342 km/hr. The price should be about 25 more than the LP640, taking the new Lamborghini Murcielago to about 360,000 euros.

Lamborghini has released this mysterious image, but postponing any explanation until the Paris show in October. Spy photographers, get your cameras out! It’s difficult to know what this shot belongs to - could it be a new version of the Gallardo Lp560/4? Or a new Superleggera that has been denied (denials that we choose to ignore!)?

It could also be the new Gallardo track version with updated aerodynamics and exhaust. It’s likely that nostalgics for the Lamborghini will be dreaming of the next Murcielago SV, with rear wheel drive and a few kilos less, though we feel the exhaust (barely) seen in this photo is not compatible.

The only details that were afforded in the press release included “a new Lamborghini” and a “new world”, which leaves us to wonder whether it could be a completely new concept car - even the much-talked about extreme super-SUV…

Touring Superleggera has shown off some new official photos of the A8GCS, the new sports car based on the mechanics of the Maserati GranTurismo and queen of the recent Villa d’Este show where it was presented.

Compared to photos already seen, you can appreciate the compact lines, minimal curves and attention to the wheels, with modern Borrani styled spokes. We’re still waiting on confirmation and production details of this interesting Italian coupè, with a reduced weight of 1200 kg.

“Rest In Peace”, Gallardo Superleggera. We unite in the memory, marking the end (perhaps even premature) of a superior coupé: Lamborghini has announced it will be closing down production of the Gallardo Superleggera, in preparation for the debut of the new LP560-4.

The 172 units manufactured have become cult objects, especially in the “untraceable” white colour, ordered by only ten customers. The other colours (34 grey, 37 black and 45 yellow) were dominated by orange with 46 cars, where some customers were happy with their own originality.
