Lamborghini Faqs

An updated 2007 model called the Murciélago LP640 will replace the 2006 Murciélago coupe. The “LP” stands for “longitudinale posteriore,” which is Italian for “longitudinal rear” and indicates the position of the vehicle’s massive V12 engine behind the cockpit.

The number 640 in the new name bestowed upon this car denotes the total hp rating of the tweaked V12 engine, up 60 hp from the outgoing Murciélago coupe’s V12 thanks to a bump in displacement from 6.2 liters to 6.5 liters. Lamborghini says the added power shaves 0.4 seconds from the zero-to-62 mph sprint, bringing it down to a scant 3.4 seconds.
