Just read an artical about the new Murcielago Superleggera.
It was spotted at the Nürburgring a few days ago.
Thats the text:
Sources on the ground at Germany's Nürburgring believe that this Lamborghini test car is a prototype for the Murcielago Superleggera - a lighter, even more intense version of the Lamborghini supercar flagship.

The black panels on this prototype point to the same use of lighter-weight carbon-fiber and plastic panels found on the recently released Gallardo Superleggera, meaning this super Murcielago gets a new engine hood, door panels, and central tunnel made out of the high-tech aerospace materials. Some of the glass has also likely been replaced by lighter-weight clear plastic, further reducing the Murcielago's mass. This prototype was also fitted with a massive rear wing, also likely crafted from carbon-fiber.

As with the Gallardo Superleggera, this new Murcielago is expected to get a power bump beyond its 640 horsepower, further intensifying the gains made from the 'Lago's weight reduction. Just how close the Murcielago Superleggera will get to 700 horsepower is currently unknown. Also unknown is exactly when this newest Superleggera will be available to the insanely wealthy, but a public debut at one of this fall's European motor shows seems logical.


And here are some pics:

That wing is huge! This will be a serious car when it comes out.

Wow, I am loving that degree of Maroon on the Murcielago. I am guessing around 1 1/2 -2 years and all new model will replace it.

They probably shouldn't give the blind guy privilege of designing the wing. I think he carved it with brail.

Will be a fun car. Glad to see the top dog losing some weight.

How do you even buy a Lambo knowing that they will be dropping a better version within a year or so?

Wing is ridiculous.

Not sure why they mask it off anyway, we already know it's a Murci and it's not like they're really going to change anything on the doors

^ Me too, it's a sickness.

Want yellow, but since it's overdone (don't mean this in a bad way), starting to lean moreso towards orange as I don't see it nearly as much. Now just need to convince my dad to pull the trigger on one.

I love it! But then again I love all Lambo's!
I see I am going to have to work harder this year!
The wing might be cool, just needs to be a little lower.
