King of Kings

The super car from Lamborghini is set to retire with a bang in the form of a special edition ultra lightweight Murcielago SV.

The SV will be the lightest of all the past Murcielago, with reductions expected to shave off between 220 and 300 pounds from the Murcielago's 3663-pound body. And it will be the most powerful too. With a power upgrade expected to exceed that of the Reventon's 6.5-litre V12-powered 641 horses, straightline performance is set to be earth shattering.

In order to drastically reduce weight, carbon-fibre is used extensively in the body shell and cabin. Lamborghini even went to the extend of removing proper door handles in favor of lighter pull straps.

The all wheel drive system will also be ditched to save some 90 pounds. The SSV will be a rear-wheel-drive setup, with a heavily modified traction control software to deal with all the power to the rear wheels.

Even the wheels will not be spared. A all-new forged and machined alloy rims will shave some 13 pounds at the wheels. The electronically-operated system used to raise and lower the rear spoiler will also go, to be replaced by two large carbon fiber wings.

The SV looks set to be the king of kings of the road.
