Agreed, seen this already!

Think there is one of a GT3 RS, equally quick!

[Jonny5]

I actually couldn't believe how much quicker the LP640 was than the Murcie. Shockingly so over 100mph

now on exactly which road in South Kensington did you try this out?

[wazza]

Which is the most fun to drive Jon? LP640 or your 6.0. Any other noticeable differences between what will probably be the last of the line Murcielago?

On the A40 Doug , clear-ish traffic

Re; 6.0-vs-LP640

2 different animals, the 6ltr imo will always feel like a Murcielago GT or SV - raw , power through the seat of your chair type feel. Steering/brakes to the point , motorsport even agricultural like gearchange. Special bespoke carbon interior

Lp640 felt much quicker than my mates 6.2 Murcie; e-gear was fantastic, carbon brakes wiped the floor with 6.2's. Power delivery that much more agressive. No doubt whatsoever that it more than walk away WITH EASE from my 6 or a 6.2 - quite intimidating over > 100mph. Yet you could use it comparatively everyday

LamboLondon didn't get to spec their LP640 iirc it was a case of being given an early production slot spec'd already. I think they should have gone to town on the car options wise, and picked a proper lambo colour (pearl white or Arancio imo)

Lp640 would need a serious amount of spend to make it feel less audified. Carbon interior a must, quilted interior, careful interior colour selection... Wouldn't go for factory double din SatNav - you could get a better quality fit and finish from Halfords

Would I get a coupé and sell the 6.0 - no. Would I get a Roadster and sell the 6.0 - maybe. Or should I keep the 6.0 with it's rarity, known entity on the dreaded residuals and buy another toy - probably

Thanks for the reply Jon

You'll just like me, it will take a lot to part us from our Diablos.

Ahh but you need to live with a Murcie everyday...
Its just the right blend of being comfy enough but raw as well. But I agree, the 6.0ltr to me is the most agressive design, and arguably better looking overall. But the Murcie from the side is so beautiful, but turn it round and view from the front with the scoops up, and its just wicked

If the 6.0ltr had the Jota air scoops then it might be in with a chance.

The rounded front end and flat rear deck let the 6.0ltr down a bit IMHO.


The 1999 SV is the best looking car by far
