Key Points: 1/28 RHD and even fewer UK supplied, exposed carbon fibre rear spoiler, one of few to come from the factory with fixed low-line ducktail wing.

The successor to the Diablo and the flagship V12 of the Lamborghini lineup, the Murciélago was introduced in 2001 as the brand's first new model under the ownership of the Volkswagen Group. It features all-wheel drive and a low ride height, as well as typical Lamborghini features such as angular-design bodywork and scissor doors, a hallmark feature of flagship Lamborghini models since the Countach.

At the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, Lamborghini unveiled a high-performance, range-topping variant of the Murciélago, the LP 670-4 SuperVeloce (SV). The SV moniker had previously appeared on the Diablo and Miura, and indicates a more track-oriented specification. The air intakes were enlarged for better brake cooling, the front spoiler was extended for improved downforce, and the LP-640’s optional 15-inch carbon ceramic disc brakes and six-
piston callipers were fitted as standard. The car's weight was also reduced by 100 kg through the extensive use of carbon fibre, a lighter exhaust and lightweight Alcantara interior trim. According to Maurizio Reggiani, former head of Lamborghini research and development, the SV's steering was tuned for high-speed sensitivity.

It is powered by a 6.5-litre V12 with revised valve timing and an upgraded intake, producing 661 hp and 487 lb ft of torque. The result is a 0-60mph sprint time of 3.1 seconds, and a claimed top speed of 209 mph.
