Leaked: Lamborghini LP650-4 Roadster

lamborghini-murcielago-lp650-4-roadster

Lamborghini’s long line of limited edition Murci’s continues with the LP650-4. Autoblog.nl has published a leaked picture of the upcoming limited edition Lamborghini Murcielago LP650-4 Roadster that will go on sale later this year.

This “special edition” LP650-4 features a flamboyant Grigio Telesto exterior that combines dark grey bodywork with touches of bright orange applied to the front spoiler and sills. Elsewhere on the exterior there are LP650-4 logos applied to the front bumper and rear fender, orange brake calipers, and a transparent engine cover which shows off the beast of a V12 engine that resides behind the driver.

Little is known about the car’s power rating but sources indicate that it will be powered by the Reventon’s 6.5-liter V12 engine that produces 650 horsepower and 660 Nm of torque. With numbers like that, expect the new roadster to offer similar performance figures which most likely include a century sprint time of 3.4 seconds and a top speed in the neighborhood of 340km/h.

The interior echoes the car’s striking exterior as it features bright orange e-gear paddles and e-gear switches. Besides the orange touches, there is an asymmetric dash design that has Alcantara Nera on the driver’s side and Leather Nero Perseus on the passenger’s side. That trim is reflected in the seats as they also feature a mix of alcantara and leather.

Considering the timing of the leak, look for the new Lamborghini Murcielago LP650-4 Roadster to possibly debut at next month’s Geneva Motor Show. Regardless of where the model debuts, production will be limited to 50 units and prices will start at 295,00 Euros (RM1.35mil pre-tax).

Same as the LP640 roadster with different paintjob etc. Nothing special. Lambo are to unveil the LP670-4 SV at Geneva next month so if this limited edition roadster is true, i'm not sure how it's fitting into the scheme of things. Maybe the LP640 roadster isn't selling so they're doing this limited edition to move it.

I can surf the net! :) ha ha ha ah

But seriously the car above is IDENTICAL to the current LP640 Roadster with added two-tone paint etc. Don't see the uniqueness. At least the Versace LP640 edition had some justification

The branding association with a renowned brand (Versace). Whether it sold well or not is a different matter
