Cars of Coolhaven

The pictures of the last Murciélago I spotted weren’t that great, so quickly these nice pictures of a LP640 Roadster at the beach. LP stands for Longitudinale Posteriore, referring to the longitudinally-mounted, 6.5 L V12 engine, capable of producing up to 633 bhp (472 kW) at 8000 rpm. Along with a new six-speed manual transmission, which can come in Lamborghini’s optional paddle shift “E-gear” package, the LP640 can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds: 0.4 of a second quicker than the previous Murciélago. The LP640 is accommodated by an electronic Launch control device called “Thrust.”

When I took the pictures, this car was less than a month old… Granted, super cars never really look like they have been driven for years and years, most of them will be looked after quite good. But still.

It is an amazing car to look at, and it probably will be a riot to drive one. Well, on a circuit or at midnight somewhere on the German Autobahn, it obviously isn’t the best car for heavy city traffic.
