bit boring in that colour, if such a thing could ever be said of a Murci

that shape just deserves to be shown off in orange/yellow or ithaca

I woulnd say no TBH

[Polarbert]

Theres a video of that very car on streetfire.


(I say that very car, I don't actually know, but how many RHD 640s are likely to be around in that colour?)

Would Lambo take a pair of testicles as a downpayment for an LP640? Castration is about all I can offer.

Now where's that scalpel gone...

[Exoticaholic]

Can't make out the colour LP640 was, but it looks similar to the 'battleship grey' which was launched on the Geneva Show 2006 LP640 debut car.

Nonetheless, LP640 is sensational.

This is the spec on mine (and me mate Andy's) due in March:
Pearl white, Titanium wheels (same style as on pic), yellow calipers, yellow/black leather (as opposed to alcantara interior), glass rear engine cover, yellow cam covers, carbon interior option, standard brakes (not ceramic), manual, branding pack (Lambo badge on wheels etc and headrest.) Yellow cam covers have to be done aftermarket. Its loud but cos its going to be used on the track alot with paying passengers, need to make it a bit mad..

Not sure about white with yellow brakes, do you have any pictures of other cars with that colour combination?

Yea was at the factory last week and I agree it sounds a bit of an odd combination. But saw a pearl white one on the production line with the yellow calipers and it did look fantastic. As long as its kept to two colours it should be ok. There were some pretty awful interiors being put together there though..

Brakes - well my thinking is this. The 02-04 Murcies have crap brakes, this was the case till the 05MY cars which had the hugely better Gallardo set up. I've driven one of these and its so much better I couldn't believe it. Bearing in mind mine has just about coped with its earlier brakes with 4500 miles of track use, I figured the standard set up (as on the 05MY Murcies) would be more than enough. Plus the ceramics do worry me cos if they do crack then I couldn't afford 15k for a new set, especially if they wouldn't cover it under warranty cos of its track use. And I can now get new sets from Tarox for £1500

When I was at the factory they were building a red LP640 with Lime Green leather - it was really bad


BTW did you see any of the Gallardos being fitted with the new ceramic brake option?

Si and I were at the factory last week and seeing a pearl white LP with yellow calipers just looked awesome. On the line they had a pearl white and a solid white next to each other, the pearl white is definately the way to go IMO. Lots of gallardo spyders being built, in fact Christina (lambo's musuem lady and tour guide)said that 80% of all new gallardo production is now the spyder variant!

With regard to the carbon brakes, an additional 7K isn't worth what we'd get back for it and the potential on costs (cracked discs etc) negate the benefits. We ummed and arred but in the end spent some of that money on the carbon interior pack which looks great. just got to wait till march now... bummer!

Wasn't it taken in Wolverhampton? It was mentioned in another forum, so I wonder what brings it to that city?

Lamborghini Birmingham is down the road off A454 Black County Road. It will be moving to brand-new premises in Fort Dunlop towards end of this year.

Good shots by the way. Once shot two black SLR's whilst moving.

[Capoflyer]
