Lamborghini Murcielago Replacement Mule Spotted
Lamborghini Murcielago Replacement Test Mule, First Spy Photos
October 23, 2008 4:35 PM by Brian Potter
The supercar wars are alive and going strong. Today spy snappers caught the first test mule of the new Lamborghini supercar set to replace the Murcielago. With Ferrari, McLaren, Aston Martin, Pagani and Mercedes AMG all working on new supercars, there is no reason for Lamborghini to get left behind.
Although this Murcielago body shell could just be a power train mule, there is evidence that the new body will have a wider track as seen in the slightly flared out fenders. We can also see most clearly the RoaDyn wheel force measurement apparatus attached to the wheels.
Consistent with the recent Lamborghini Estoque Concept, it is speculated Lamborghini will once again reach back into their rich history and resurrect the Jota name, a one-off Miura from 1970.
If rumours play true, this new Lambo will switch to an aluminum space frame instead of the current steel tube frame with carbon fiber extensions.
Body design will take some influence from the Reventon and most body parts will be made of carbon fiber. Roof and doors will probably be made from aluminum.
Engine could be a revised 6.5-liter V12 with direct injection delivering upwards of 700 horsepower to all four wheels.

re: 2011 Lamborghini Jota [Murcielago-replacement] (Spy pics & Info)
How do you replace a car as madcap as the Lamborghini Murcielago? Answer: with an equally bonkers successor. Scooped testing near the Nurburgring, this early mule for the next-generation supercar wears numberplates belonging to Quattro GmbH. That’s the official tuning arm of Audi (Lambo’s owner), so after the brilliant R8 it appears Quattro GmbH will play a role in Sant'Agata's new range-topping supercar.
Tell me all you know about the next-gen Lamborghini Murcielago
For a start that name will change, possibly to Jota but that’s not confirmed. We know the all-new car will ditch the LP640’s steel chassis in favour of a carbonfibre tub with front and rear steel subframes.
That carbonfibre construction should help cut weight, while the new car will grow in size. Check out the front and rear wheels, which are barely able to squeeze under the Murcielago’s existing bodywork – today’s car wears paltry 18-inch rear rims.
The bigger rubber, combined with a sophisticated electronics system (replacing the LP640’s rudimentary set-up) will help keep the 700bhp V12 in check. Expect a 6.0-litre displacement for the all-new powerplant.
When will we see the new Lambo?
A debut is in the diary for the Geneva show in March 2010, we hear. A Roadster variant could appear as early as autumn the same year, perhaps at the Paris salon 2010. Hopefully it’ll have a better roof arrangement than on today’s car.
Any news on the current Murcielago’s run-out special?
The SV, or Superveloce is still on schedule, with a launch expected early in 2009, either at Detroit or Geneva. But 2009 will also see Lamborghini stick to its promise of unveiling one new model at every major show – we’ll see the LP560-4 Spyder next week at LA, and various special editions, including a Superleggera version, should also arrive in the next 12 months.

For me the Murcielago is the best looking car in the world at the moment... So my expectations on this car are the biggest
I hope to see something that will blow my mind
But if it's ugly I'll be happy too, because the way to Murcielago is way shorter "only" 150k euro
