It seems like just yesterday when Lamborghini launched the Murcielago

LP640, the upgraded version of its “full fat” supercar. However, Lamborghini's work to enhance the Gallardo with the LP560 version, and its 20-unit production run of the Reventon, has helped to move the spotlight elsewhere within the brand. But, for fans of the big bull, never fear - Lamborghini is giving its flagship yet another update.

Much like the Diablo, the Murcielago's predecessor, Lamborghini will be producing an SV version of the newer car as a way of celebrating the end of its production run. Output from the 6.5-liter V12 engine is expected to jump to 680 horsepower, up from the LP640's 640 horsepower.

This comprehensive power upgrade will be allied to a reduction of weight. Like the Diablo SV, the Murcielago will lose its all wheel drive system, which will help to contribute to its 220+ pound weight loss program. In addition, the Murcielago SV will gain a fixed rear spoiler in place of the current retractable unit, and new lightweight wheels will be featured.

Inside, the Murcielago SV will be stripped of many of its luxuries. Leather, Alcantara and plenty of carbon fiber will be standard, but, don't expect to see much by the way of infotainment - it's been ditched to save weight.
