AE Edition Matte Black Lamborgini Murcielago LP650-4

Lamborghini Murcielago LP650 4 Roadster 9 AE Edition Matte Black Lamborgini Murcielago LP650 4

The powerful and sexy Lamborghini Murcielago LP650-4 is already pretty exclusive and stylish on its own. Not exclusive enough for some. The owner of this upgraded LP650-4 truly made the car his own.

The Murcielago was stripped off its standard paint job and covered in a matte black scheme with gloss black accents. The car rolls on 19-inch GFG forged alloy wheels covered by Pirelli P-Zeroes ( 245/30/19 front and 355/25/19 rear).

A brief tour of the interior reveals an upgraded sound system with Focal Utopia KIT 7 component speakers and dual Alpine PDX amps worth 1600 Watts, and an Escort SRX radar detector–perfect for unleashing the potential under the hood. That potential remains unaltered, as the owner stuck with the 650hp V12 engine standard on the LP650-4.

The Lamborghini Murcielago LP650-4 Roadster, by its very nature the V12 powered Italian super car is a limited edition vehicle, especially with only 50 units of the special edition open air Murcielago in existence around the world. However the owner of of one of these high performance power houses has taken an extra step to ensure that his LP is truly a one of a kind machine.

The Murcielago owner opted to cover the car in a matte black finish complete with gloss black highlights as well as a set of custom GFG three piece forged Narkid wheels measuring 19 inches in diameter, with orange accents to match the massive brake calipers, wrapped in a set of sticky Pirelli tires. Meanwhile the Murcielago’s interior gets a one of a kind custom audiophile sound system from Al & Eds Autosound as well as an Escort SRX "Ticket Avoidance System" to help with the consequences of having 650 HP on tap.

With the Lamborghini Murcielago nearing the end of its exotic production run, the Italian automaker is already underway with plans to replace the current Murcielago with a new super car. Current rumors are saying that it will be called the Jota and should be launched sometime in 2012.

In accordance with traditional Lamborghini nomenclature, Ferrucho liked to name his creations after infamous fighting bulls. However, there is no connection to the rumored Jota name, but the name was used on a very select run of Miuras and Diablos that underwent a few race inspired upgrades. This latest rendering gives us a new idea as to what the upcoming super car might look like. What we do know is that the 2012 Jota will feature a host of lightweight aluminum body parts, making it much lighter than its predecessor and will be powered by a brand new V12 producing around 700 HP.

Lamborghini celebrates 4,000th Murcielago

Lamborghini Murcielago

It’s been a long time since Lamborghini first unveiled its Murcielago. In it’s original form the Diablo replacement came with a 6.2-litre V12 pumping out 580 horsepower and 480 lb-ft torque. Since then Lamborghini has kept putting more into the car with increased horsepower and limited editions like the Reventon and the ultimate variant the LP670-4 SuperVeloce. Both good and bad tuners have got their hands on it, and Lamborghini even managed to get it out on the racetrack.
