Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 gets a 'Fast and Furious' Treatment by JB Car Design

|
To be completely honest, we find nothing wrong with the way that the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 looks or goes. Nonetheless, if you happen to disagree with us and feel comfortable spending tens of thousands of euros or dollars to spruce up your LP 640 in a "Fast and Furious" kind of way be our guest. The proposal pictured here was created by JB Car Design, a tuning company from Germany that offers an array of mechanical and cosmetic upgrades for the Murcielago.

Starting with the engine bay, the tuner provides buyers with two options. The first package that will set you back €28,000 or about $41,300 at today's exchange rates, bumps the V12's output to 710HP while the second performance kit, to 750HP (pricing was not disclosed) allowing the Italian supercar to reach a top speed of 370km/h or 230 mph.

There's also a new sport exhaust system with electronically controlled flaps that allows the driver to change the sound coming out of the massive rear tailpipe.

On the outside, after painting the car in a special finish called "Blood to Black Diamond" JB Car Design kits out the Murcielago with an aerodynamic-package consisting of front and rear spoilers, rear diffuser, side skirts with modified air inlets, a carbon fiber bonnet and a new cover for the engine bay.

The supercar rides on new three-piece 20-inch Schmidt Revolution alloy wheels shod in Michelin tires size 265/30 R20 up front and 335/30 R20 at the back.

Next up is the interior that has been overhauled with new carbon fiber trim and a mixture of suede and leather materials for the seats, dashboard and door panels.

The price for a completed model (including the cost of a new Murcielago LP 640) is €500,000 or around $740,000 at today's exchange rates. The car pictured here, which is a 2008MY Murcielago with 9,000km on the odo, is also up for sale at price of €355,000 / $525,000.

This will sell well in the Middle East. A lot of those oil rich guys over there have no taste.

Carbon fiber, chrome wheels and maroon (sorry, I meant "blood to black diamond)... The motif is definitely "pimp my road warrior"

Is that just the light reflecting off the fasteners around the lower air intake or are those actually little neon-like pink lights?

And do those skirts along the bottom serve as air intakes or to launch torpedoes?

I think the previous poster is right about this. Somewhere in the world there are people with lots of money and exceedingly bad taste who'll readily shell out for this abortion.
