This amazing car gets its name from its engine position being placed longitudinale posteriore - and the 640 refers to the horse power of the model.

The engine, gearbox, suspension exhaust system, electronics & brakes have all been reworked, as well as the Murcielago interior being treated to a facelift even the exterior design has been treated to some improvements. All in all LP640 is the most extreme and quickest supercar in its class.

It has air intakes which is limited wheras the left one is left side with a vast space for cooling the oil radiator.
