The 2007 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640

2007 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640ForbesAutos.com has an article called "This Bull Runs Rampant" about the 2007 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. The super fast luxury sports car from 0-to-62 mph in just 3.4 seconds.
The number 640 in the new moniker denotes the total hp rating of the tweaked V12 engine, up 60 hp from the outgoing Murciélago coupe's V12 thanks to a bump in displacement from 6.2 liters to 6.5 liters. Lamborghini says the added power shaves 0.4 seconds from the zero-to-62 mph sprint, bringing it down to a scant 3.4 seconds.

A convertible version of the Murcielago, introduced last year, retains the 6.2-liter 580-hp V12. It has a removable fabric top: When it's installed, Lamborghini advises keeping the speed under 100 mph.

A more aggressive front bumper with reshaped air intakes and a large spoiler underneath distinguish the 2007 LP640 from previous Murciélagos and make the bold design of the outgoing coupe even wilder. A redesigned rear diffuser encompasses twin exhaust pipes, and the taillights are now all red.
The Forbes article describes other features of the Bull including paddle-shift sequential-manual transmission, 18-inch titanium wheels, carbon-fiber body panels and massive disk brakes. ForbesAutos.com warns interested buyers to expect the price to be "a little north of the outgoing Murcielago coupe's $290,000 base price."
