A few things make me think it's not a new Murcielago...
As some pointed, the size of the brakes. The LP640's carbon brakes have 8 piston front calipers with rotors close to 15.5 inches... If indeed this would have been an SV Murci, the brakes would have at least been the same or better.
The picture which shows the front wheel gives a slight insight to the silhouette of the front end, which has much less of a slope than the Murci's... Indicating (to me at least) that the engine might indeed be positioned at the front.
And the photoshop of the new Lambo's rear mixed with the Murcielago seems unlikely as the Murci has rear-mounted radiators, it needs a great volume of hot air to be vented at the rear, and the pictures we have here don't show much venting at the rear, so unless the radiators have been moved to the front, the Murci photoshoped car seems unlikely.
All this is pointing in the direction of a 4 seater, or at least a front-engined sports car.
My 2 cents.

I dont think that will ever be the case with lambo nowadays. WIth all the market research and diehard lambo fans out there, this will be a moneymaker.
