Its new name, Murciélago LP640, refers to its engine position - longitudinale posteriore - and to its power output of 640 hp.

Designers and engineers have not only focused on reworking the engine, suspension, gearbox, exhaust system, brakes and electronics, but also the interior and exterior design; improvements that make the Murciélago LP640 the most extreme and fastest sports car in its class.

The Gallardo Spyder is not just an open-top version of the coupé, but a completely new model. Developed via a close partnership between the Lamborghini Centro Stile and R and D engineers, it continues the Lamborghini design attributes of purism, athleticism and sharpness, whilst evoking a strong aeronautical influence in its proportions. The cab-forward cockpit is integrated in the body by a strongly-slanted front screen and tensed pillars.
