Unmistakable Design
In their reinterpretation of the Murciélago LP640, the designers at the Lamborghini Style Centre have remained true to the traditional Lamborghini principles of purism, sport and function. The Murciélago LP640 now appears even more aggressive, with the new front and rear bumpers contributing significantly to its appearance. The exhaust system terminal has been incorporated in the diffuser on the rear bumper. Other innovations include the rear lights, which enhance the distinguishing features of the Murciélago LP640, making it unmistakable even at night. The design of the sides is also worth mentioning: while the area behind the air intake on the right side is practically closed, the left side features a vast aperture for cooling the oil radiator. Together with the aerodynamically defined front and rear, this proves yet again that the shape of a Lamborghini is dictated by function.
For those wishing to flaunt the heart of their Murciélago LP640, on request an engine hood made of transparent glass can be supplied. The rear view mirrors and the windscreen wipers have been modified to improve aerodynamics and “Hermera” light metal wheel rims have been added. The graphics of the instrument panel lights in the cockpit have been revamped. The interior upholstery also has a new look thanks to the lozenge-shaped stitching.

More powerful engine
The engine of the new Murciélago LP640 has undergone outstanding and radical modification. The increased bore and longer stroke have boosted the displacement of the classic 60° V-engine from 6.2 litres to 6.5 litres (6,496 cm3). Thus the already extraordinary 580 hp engine power has now been elevated to an impressive peak of 640 hp (471 kW) at 8,000 min-1. The 12-cylinder engine reaches a maximum torque of 660 Nm at 6,000 min-1. Naturally, the Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 complies with every European and North American law governing exhaust fumes.
This “evolutionary leap forward” has been possible thanks to a coherent review of every engine component: the cylinder head and the entire intake system (based on the tried and tested Lamborghini variable geometry system), have been completely reworked. The crankshaft, camshafts and exhaust system have also undergone innovation.
The increase in power naturally determines an increase in performance. The maximum speed is now 340 km/h (before 330 km/h). The excellent performance of the Murciélago LP640 means it can now accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds (0.4 seconds faster than the previous model).
Lamborghini engineers have also concentrated on improving torque development. The “drivability” of the engine is enhanced by a continuous variable timing system (intake and exhaust side) and a drive-by-wire engine management system.
To meet the thermal requirements of the engine, the engineers have foreseen a considerably larger oil radiator and subsequently, the air intake on the left side of the vehicle has been enlarged. The liquid cooling system, characterised by the Lamborghini VACS system (variable geometry air inlet system) remains the same. Electronically managed air intakes open depending on the outdoor temperature and the need for cooling air, ensuring maximum aerodynamic efficiency.

完美無缺的設計
為了重新詮釋這台跑車的精神，設計師依舊使用林寶基尼一貫的設計手法---剛猛、速度感、機能的線條---來勾勒LP640。重新設計過的前後大包保險桿讓LP640外觀更具殺氣，後保險桿整流罩整合在一塊排氣管亦頗具機能美。其他像尾燈設計也是LP640很顯目的特徵，即便晚上你也不會認錯它的身份。側邊線條更是LP640的重頭好戲，一部分氣流沿著進氣口進入內側的巨大冷卻系統，另一部分則從外側順著排出。整輛車融合許多空氣力學的元素，尤其那股充滿機能美的線條完完全全向世人證明: 它就是林寶基尼~~
更強而有力的引擎
LP640配備一副6.5升的V12引擎，8千轉可爆發640匹馬力及660 牛頓米(6千轉)的超強扭力，同時也符合歐盟及美國相關的排氣檢驗規範。排氣量雖只增加300CC馬力卻增加60匹，因為這具引擎每個細部環節都經特別強化過，像是汽缸頭或者進氣系統拉.....等等，這台新蠻牛直線極速可達340公里，0-100更只需3..4秒(比標準版快0.4秒之多)。林寶基尼的工程師針對LP640的扭力亦投入不少心力，像是可變進氣及排氣系統，或是電子線傳控制系統的運用，來讓這具引擎更加活潑。拜中置引擎擾人的散熱問題，LP640換上了比之前更大的機油散熱器，冷卻系則一樣利用林寶基尼可變幾何空氣進器口來強制散熱。為獲得最大的空氣效應進器口的開啟也完全仰賴電子化控制。
