At the 2010 Beijing Auto Show
Lamborghini has presented an exclusive edition of the Murciélago
LP 670-4 SuperVeloce. The "Chinese Edition" will be
limited to not more than ten numbered cars and will be
offered to the growing group of sports cars collectors
in China only. The Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera
is also receiving its Asian premiere at the Beijing Auto
Show.
“Automobili Lamborghini’s strong performance at the 2010
Beijing Auto Show and its launch of a special edition of
the flagship Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce exclusively
for the Chinese market underscore our unwavering
commitment to China and the development of a super
sports car culture here,” said Stephan Winkelmann,
President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. “Last
year, Automobili Lamborghini achieved 11 percent growth
in China. At the beginning of this week on 20th of
April, we have launched our seventh Automobili
Lamborghini China dealership in Shenzhen. The
inauguration of our eighth showroom in Xiamen will come
soon. It is our pleasure that we can share our passion
for Lamborghini with China’s super sports car drivers,
collectors and fans.”
Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce China Limited Edition
Limited to only ten cars worldwide, the special edition
Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is designed and
manufactured exclusively for China’s most discriminating
super sports car enthusiasts. An orange stripe,
symbolising the strength of an erupting volcano,
decorates the flat grey painted carbon shell of the
Murciélago. Every model holds a numeration badge with
the name of its owner.
The Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is one
of the most fascinating super sports cars of all times.
The exceptionally purist and even more extreme top model
– the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce – is even more
powerful, lighter and faster than the Murciélago LP 640.
With the output of the 6.5 liter V12 increased to 670 hp
and a weight reduction of 100 kg (220 lbs), the
Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce boasts a power-to-weight
ratio of 2.3 kg (5.1 lbs) per hp. It vaults itself from
zero to 100 km/h in just 3,2 seconds and hits top speed
at 342 km/h.
With its outstanding performance, razor-sharp precision
and exceptional high-speed stability, the Lamborghini
Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is the ultimate
performance car for advanced sports car drivers. In
order to achieve the substantial weight reduction of 100
kilograms (220 lbs), the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce
was extensively reworked and redeveloped in virtually
every aspect – from chassis to engine and transmission,
right through to the interior. The increase in engine
output from 640 to 670 hp is the result of optimized
valve timing and a reworked intake system. The
significantly modified aerodynamics with substantially
increased downforce brings considerable improvement to
vehicle stability at very high speeds. The large
“Aeropack Wing” and its added downforce give a top speed
of 337 km/h (209 mph).
Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera
The Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera is the
new top model of the Gallardo line. Its “superlight”
name describes a high-performance driving machine with a
true sporting character and an automotive
high-performance athlete. In comparison to the already
slimmed-down Gallardo LP 560-4 the weight of the
Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera could be reduced 70
Kilograms. So the dry weight of the new Sant’Agata
Superleggera is just 1,340 kilogram – a new benchmark in
the very exclusive market of extreme super sports cars.
The use of carbon fibre for external and internal
components is heavily contributing to the weight
reduction of the Superleggera. This carbon-composite
material is ideal for super sports cars, combining
weight reduction with improved technical
characteristics. Reduced weight optimises the driving
performance and correspondingly reduces CO2 emissions.
For many years Lamborghini has lead the way in the use
of carbon fibre and is now increasing its advantage even
further.
The 5,2 litre V10 engine output of the new Superleggera
is 419kW (570 hp). The power-to-weight ratio of this new
top model amounts to only 2,35 Kilogram per hp and
guarantees a breathtaking driving performance. The
Superleggera accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4
seconds sprints to 200 km/h only 10.2 seconds later,
ultimately reaching 325 km/h. The gasoline direct
injection engine “Inezione Diretta Stratifica” achieves
an impressive efficiency: fuel consumption and CO2
emissions dropped 20.5 percent in comparison to the
previous model.
Lamborghini shows strong performance in China Market
The booming Chinese automobile market has matured and
created a culture in which the brand of the raging bulls
has taken root. In 2009, Automobili Lamborghini
delivered 80 new cars to People’s Republic, achieving 11
percent year-on-year growth. With six dealerships in
Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Hangzhou and Hong
Kong, Lamborghini unveiled a new dealership in Shenzhen
this week. Another Showroom in Xiamen will soon follow.
