The Lamborghini Murcielago LP670 SV released in Geneva earlier this year is the last chapter for the Lamborghini Murcielago. The successor of the Murcielago is not expected to hit the market until 2012 but Autoexpress released some renders today of what they think the new Lamborghini will look like.
It’s expected that the new Lamborghini will combine an aluminium spaceframe chassis supplied by Audi with a carbon fibre bodyshell. This would significantly reduce the weight compared to the Murcielago. Power is expected to come from a 6.0-litre V12 with around 700bhp, together with the reduced weight and four-wheel drive this could mean 0-100 sprint times in just over 3 seconds.
The looks in this render show that the new Lambo will be wider and longer, taking some design elements from the Gallardo LP560. It’s said that this new Murcielago might also follow in Lamborghini’s plans to make a Hybrid Gallardo. More remarkable is the possible use of a start-stop system that turns off the engine when it’s not needed per example at traffic lights, this is a function we would disable straight away but in the current climate even Lamborghini can’t avoid reducing emissions.
