I take it this ISNT an SV?

[kryten22uk]

I thought the SV was the LP670SV, but this is an LP640 with SV decals. Was there an SV of the 640 too, or is this mutton dressed as lamb?

That's just a standard LP640, the only SV of the Murcielagos is the LP670 SV.

So why stick SV all over it? Its still a newish, incredibly capable, and sought after car as an LP640, not like its a 30yr old Escort that some kid wants to stick an XR3i badge on!

[LamboBrum]

This is not an SV. An eyeful though...

[DayTrader]

That's worse than putting an M badge on a boggo BMW.

The only people who know what SV means know it isn't one!

Very sad.

It was owned by a Qatari if that explains anything...

For sale from PH's favourite dealer too..

For the same reason one would spec that interior I assume.

The stickers were put on by the dealer, not by the owner before.

And has been for sale for well over a yeah now. The interior has been toned down a touch, but the exterior not so.
There is an LP640 in London with small SV decal, but proper SV wing.... The wing just looks odd on the 640.

[Taffymoto]

Yeah that is "just" an LP640, what a let down...(!)

[cronk-flakes]

That ad states that it's the same colour that's used on the Reventon... I didn't think the Reventon was THAT dark??

[Justices]

A Mercielago LP640 may come in SV guise. The Mucielago LP640 doesn't.

The car looks very tasty, although I'd do something to darken that interior somewhat. Misleading stickers and badges can be peeled off of a car at the end of the day so no great crime as it's not advertised as such.

Definitely not used on the Reventon, far too dark as you say. Shocking from a supercar 'specialist' can sell a mercielago with mat paint.....

[Jules360]

That looks very similar to a car that was for sale here in Dubai a few months back at Exotic Cars. They wanted around DHS 800k for it, if memory serves. Their one was a bit tatty, and had some dents in the roof above the drivers door caused by the driver hanging onto it when getting in and out.

I had this one pass me a few times




Always a bit too far away and too fast to see it properly but I did think it was an SV without a wing until I got up close. It's a Hamann tuned LP640, probably the loudest car I've heard on the road. On the engine it said "Hamann Stradale".

i gleen a general feeling of animosity in this section for amari supercars!! what's the story?? i've no experience of the guy other than going to look at one of his gallardos at the back end of last year.seems like a nice enough fella but i must admit to raising an eyebrow at some of the back and forths between posters here and the man himself!!
