Hot on the heels of Bentley’s exclusive new models for the Chinese market, Lamborghini have today followed suit by revealing an exclusive edition of the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce. And when we say exclusive, we mean very exclusive, with only 10 cars being made.
Manufactured exclusively for China’s most discriminating sports car enthusiasts, the LP 670-4 SuperVeloce China Limited Edition featrues an orange stripe, apparently symbolising the strength of an erupting volcano, decorating the flat grey painted carbon shell of the Murciélago. Every model displays a uniquely numbered badge with the name of its owner.
The Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce, which is even more powerful (the result of optimized valve timing and a reworked intake system), lighter and faster than the Murciélago LP 640 is powered by a 6.5 litre V12 engine delivering 660 bhp and can sprint from zero to 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds on its way to a top speed of 209 mph (337 km/h).
Lamborghini is also using the Beijing auto show as the Asian premiere of the Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera, revealed in Europe at the Geneva motorshow last month.
