UPDATED: New Lamborghini supercar! (Reventon)
 

I hope first that this isn't a repost and that this is true because it sounds wicked!!! :twisted:

its very news :P

HMM...sounds like BS to me..showing a 25% model scale to potential buyers at ST airport? :?

Anyways..If this info is actually true, I couldn´t be more excited to see what this monster will look like!

I bet it will be a rebadged Vaaroon.. ;)

funny, i was just reading about this yesterday :P

Let's see if Allenlambo can pony up the scratch for this one hehe

Re: Rumor: Lambo to build new Murcielago-based supercar
 

If true this is a great news, and about time for Lamborghini to do this.

However I'm having doubts about what it's actualy going to be, because of this...

Could it be just a hardcore version of the LP640 like the Gallardo superleggera?

This would be great, nothing officially confirmed naturally as usual.
If they would launch an LP640 Superleggera I doubt it would be limited to only 20 units, seeing that the Gallardo SL is receiving a lot more orders than they envisaged at the start.

A new super exotic from the Raging Bull would be a great idea, Veyron eat your heart out !

I have heard that this true. According to Lambo it is faster then the Veyron. Inmo, if it is a rebodied Murcielago at 1.5mill, its a joke. Inmo, it will be based on the Veyron, if it is truly faster than the Veyron.

I also think it's BS. A 1.000.000 € car based on a LP ?? No carbon chassis for this price ? :|

There have been rumors about the Murciélago successor having a full carbon fiber chassis to keep weight down for a few years already, but I can't imagine they will replace the LP640 so soon.

Perhaps a new, limited edition Super V12 could be possible ... still a few weeks until the press conference at the IAA, sure hope something 'leaks' out earlier. As I understand it, Lamborghini will remain with non-turbo engines however, but I'm pretty sure that power will rise above 700 Bhp soon.

"The 'super' Lambo does exist!

I have heard this off a very reliable source.

20 units at around US$1 mill - but I know nothing more than this."

hows this

Miami kid has paid 1.9$ bills to be the first to take delivery of this Lamborghini Veyron

:shock:

The car at that link is a bad bad photoshop.

Hopefully it ends up looking a little more special than a Muci with lots of holes in it. For a million smackers I'd still rather have an enzo.

Aw, come on. It's not that bad.

"YES, it's definitely true. The new SUPER-Lambo will come.

I've seen it on photos, but I can't tell you more, otherwise I will be killed...

Be patient... "
:mrgreen:

Men, is that Bizarrini's V12 engine going to last forever? Lambo should move up, offering something really new and special.

Bizarrini V12 on Murcielago LP640 is brilliant!!!! And I will be happy if that engine will be in a next generation supercars.

a007apl I sooo envy you now! I want to see it also goddamn!!!

As if the current Murci didnt look like an airplane now, they decided to modle it after the prettiest Fighter plane out there!

When can we see a real pic of this new murci?

A007apl, how much prettier than the Murcielago is it? Cant be that much prettier as I think it would be damned tough to out-pretty the perfect LP640!

does it look like this?

DeMoN, that new LP Its very topsecret, but its real, in Frankfurt that New Model begins.

"sorry, but I can’t send you any pics of the new Lambo. The guy from Audi who showed me the pics had them on his laptop-computer and didn’t want to hand them to me, because Lamborghini wants to keep them top secret. He doesn’t want to risk his job, as he said."

Receive that today

"The new 1.5 million dollar Lamborghini has been such a hush-hush secret that even the president of Bugatti had no idea that lambo was releasing such a car. It is NOT a 'Veyron-beater' however... not even close.

The idea behind this 'new lambo' was to make a rare collectible (only 20 will be built). It is essentially an LP640 with some performance tweaks, and the horsepower is about 20 more than the LP640. So no... its not a 700+ hp car. What will really make it unique is the body design, which is completely different from the Murci. It is inspired by a fighter plane (eg. F-22 lightning) and will look a lot like a jet plane. So you are essentially getting a murci with an extremely unique space-aged looking 'rocketship' body, with being only one of 20 people out there with one... supposedly only available in a 'military' color. So is it worth 1.5 mil? You decide.

10 for the US, and the rest overseas. All that were offered to specific owners were bought immediately. From the initial deposit, another $300,000 euros are required to ensure your purchase, then another $300,000 before it gets shipped out to you. The car is to be built/released sometime in mid-2008. The actual concept car will be revealed at the Frankfurt auto show. Even the potential owners of this car have only seen drawings can concept schematics. So no... its not the scary looking Lamborghini Alar that is being custom built from the Diablo in Argentina.

Question is if the car will hold its value, and possibly go up in price? With a Veyron at the same price, its hard to say, since you get a lot more value for the buck with the Veyron. But then again only 20 of these 'Super-Murci's' will be built... vs. 300 Veyrons. I asked why they didn't want to make say, 40 of these cars, and they said that they never expected that these 1.5 mil collectibles would sell so well... and so quickly. "

I was so hyped when it sounded that a Lambo would be a Veyron beater. Now that its supposed to be "not even close" I can calm my horses. I agree its kind of a waste to buy a car for that price and only have 20 more HP... so you are paying so steep for just a different look? Its not like everyone has a Murcielago that would make people feel the need to be 'exclusive' and get the 20 hp increased double priced Murcielago.

Not to mention, the color (gray) isnt the best. I didnt like it when I first saw it when the LP640 came out, I dont like it now. Lambo = Black Yellow Orrange and sometimes WHITE and thats it.

We'll need to wait for looking for in IAA

Looks like one is going to be coming to Michigan :)

20 days for :mrgreen:

Now that Lamob is Audi owned, I doubt they will release a Lambo w/o Nav and all the things the Enzo lacks.

If they wanted, Im 100% sure that Lambo could beat the Enzo but it just wont happen.

So speculations now saying it will be more powerful. Man for over 1million dollars and a good time apart from Enzo it has to beat it or, to me, it is a disappointment.

guys, don't worry, one friend mine see that murcy, its R E A L :mrgreen:

^if apl says it REAL, then it IS real :mrgreen:

If, as stated, this is a lightweight version of the Murcielago and HP wont go past 800, then yes it cant beat Veyron in top speed and the likes. It should, however, beat the Enzo and Veyron on the track. Anything less than this, IMO, is a poser car. Not to mention, for it to be a collectible and be remembered far in the future, it has to accomplish something more than fooling the customers to spend ridiculous money for an F22 Raptor on 4 wheels.

800 its not sure, arround 700 is very chance, now if that will've turbo not sure :mrgreen:

Is the buyer who I think it is? :)

Today I'm remember of a Lamborghini SPA make one work:

Its not a new murcy, but I'm think this idea of "F-22" begins here!
hummmm, its one job for a 007 apl :twisted:

^I'm thinking those are only behind-the-scenes-footage from this shoot.

can't wait, can't wait.......

While speaking to Philipp Encz and Chad Thomas from Bloomberg News and other members of the Euro auto press today about the 25% uptick in sales at VW's Lamborghini brand for the first eight months of the year, Lambo president Stephan Winkelmann confirmed that yes, the rumors we've been hearing about are in fact true. There will be a limited-edition sports car unveiling from the bull-brand at the Frankfurt Auto Show in two weeks. The rumored price of $1 million? That hasn't yet been confirmed -- but it also wasn't denied. Our sources tell us his response to the question was:
"I can confirm those rumors, but at this stage I will have to make you wait until the Franfurt Auto Show, where we will release more details...I can't confirm the price at this stage, but it will be very expensive indeed."
We're still going to be operating under the assumption it'll follow our initial tip that the car's going to cost upwards of $1.5 million and be like some kind of love child between a LP640 and a jet fighter. We've also learned that In addition to the news about the super-rare Lambo unveiling, we're also told Winkelmann told the press folks enthusiasts shouldn't expect an LM002 follow-up or four-door anytime soon. We guess we'll be showing you some hot and expensive Lambo action for you in Frankfurt in a mere two weeks time.

I second that. The LM002 was a monster and a true Lambo. for me because it was very unsual then, but in these times it would be another big SUV ...
A 4 door Lambo. why not but an Espada would be even better IMO :wink:

In press site have now the topic of the Frankfurt 2007, waiting for the next press update :P

Is this it??? Lamborghini Reventon?

Translated from Dutch using Babelfish, so it's a mess

How are they going to call it "Reventón"? there wasn't any other bull name available? That name is a joke. Well, I think that the car itself is a joke, only 10hp more than a LP640, uglier and stupidly expensive :roll:

Can somebody say..... Batmobile?

like dani said .... the back is weird .... .the diffusor should look like a diffusor ....
the LP640 is by far the most elegant looking new generation lambo of them all!! ...
