I really do not have any words for this Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 spotted in Japan. All I can say is “flashy”. Other words really cannot full describe this ridiculous THING. I do not know what else to call it other than a “THING”. That’s a lot of freaking lights. Someone may be begging for some “attention” maybe? Ya think?

Watch the videos below to fully understand my lack of words or my deep-felt frustration for messing up what use to be artwork. Now it is just… ahhhh… nevermind, just watch the videos.

Supercars are now part of a new club in my opinion. Whether you agree with me or not, a new benchmark as has been set for performance cars to be called a “supercar”. The 200mph mark seems almost like a standard if a car wants to be in the once-sacred “supercar status”. I realize many supercars only reach speeds just shy of 200mph but when you consider the over-all performance of some vehicles and the astonishing capabilities, you might as-well welcome them to the 200mph club. With a few (pricy) bolt-ons or ECU programming you may be able to add another 10 to 20 mph to the top speed of many supercars anyway.

Our good friend, Chris Grosser, set out to Ochopee, Florida at a rented 2 mile long aviation runway just recently. The goal was to achieve top speed (in a supercar) during a series of runs in a controlled environment. I am not sure of anything that is more fun other than blasting down flat-out on a runway in a supercar. Below is the excerpt from Chris’s new blog. I encourage you to check out some of his professional photography shots if you have the time.

Location: Ochopee, Florida – at a rented 2 mile long aviation runway

Date: 2/23/2009

Time: 7am-7pm

Goal: Super car top speed runs in a controlled environment

The sounds of cars flying by like rocket jets in excess of 200mph was nothing short of astonishing at yesterday’s 2 mile open runway event located at Ochopee, Florida.

The super car lineup consisted of cars that most people can only dream of, me included. Twin turbo Lamborghini Murcielagos and Gallardos filled the arena early in the morning when being unloaded from trailers at the venue.

A Saleen S7 brought massive amounts of attention from the fans. It’s not an everyday occurrence to view such cars in the wild, much less out on an endlessly long runway being pushed to its limits. It’s a thing of sheer beauty to view a car like the S7 being run to its full potential and not just sitting behind a glass showcase or velvet ropes like a coveted piece of art.

Two Robinson R44 helicopters even made brief appearances. Other visits from curious planes in the area made fly- bys to view the tens of millions of dollars in super cars from around the country.

Having been fortunate enough to take a quick ride in my good friend’s Bentley Continental GT and quickly surpassing the 175mph mark – the 200mph barrier in cars such as the Saleen S7, Twin turbo Murcielago, 1300 horsepower, LP640, Ford GT, or Twin Turbo “Underground Racing” Gallardo seem shockingly feasible.

Feasible is merely an understatement as new speed records were approached and surpassed throughout the day. 200 miles per hour quickly became the new standard for the super cars to strive for and many did just that.

Lamborghini Murcielago LP640

Okay, so now I get it!!! Lamborghini cars model number will continue to rise indefinitely to match the infinite increase in horsepower… so technically they could have 4 more Murcielagos just this year leading up to our post on the LP710 Audigier Edition. It’s all about horsepower right and weight savings right? An all-out horsepower war it seems.

Speculation over the internet waves is now surfacing yet another Lamborghini Murcielago dubbed the LP670-4 SV. I remember when Lamborghini had a Diablo SV and I could not stop drooling. Not many cars look this good standing still. As you guessed it, this one will have 670hp from the same V12 and AWD system, hence the LP670-4 SV name tag. Also, to make it special in “SV” form it has been shaved a whole 220 pounds and will be able to match a 3.2 second sprint to 60mph and top out at 213 mph. The matte black color scheme reminiscent of the Reventon will be covering the lower body while including an abundance of carbon fiber body parts for weight savings.

Lamborghini Reventon

It is rumored that 350 units will be produced but others will argue and say it will be only 100. So I guess if you were not “lucky” enough to get a Reventon then you may settle for the LP670-4 SV.
