Super Cool Car : Lambhorgini Murcielago LP640


















Once again German tuner HAMANN has churned out its latest creation, the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. This super cool car has been upgraded to boost performance while maintaining the exotic look of this automobile. The LP640 (which is short for “Longitudinale Posteriore 640 HP) refers to this car’s engine position and power output.

This Lamborghini Murciélago of 2006 has an outstanding interior. The added space of the cockpit has undergone drastic changes. Now the LP640 is equipped with modern head restraint, upholstered door panels and comfortable leather seats.
