Lamborghini’s first clean-sheet design in eleven years, and the first new model built under Audi’s ownership.[1] The Murciélago never received a second generation in the usual sense; instead it was revised twice on the same platform, and this entry treats those revisions as trims rather than separate generations, in line with how the car itself was sold.
The base car’s 580 PS/427 kW naturally aspirated V12 grew to 640 PS/471 kW for the 2006 LP 640, and finally to 670 PS/493 kW for the 2009 LP 670-4 SuperVeloce, the last and lightest version and the only one to drop under 1,750 kg. Torque and mass are recorded from Car and Driver’s published test weights, since Lamborghini’s own factory literature is inconsistent between kerb and dry figures; the entry follows Wikipedia’s per-trim weight table rather than mixing the two.
The 0.33 drag coefficient is dated to the 2001 launch car; no later figure for the facelifted LP 640 or SV is published, so it is not carried forward onto those trims.[2]
