In 1971, Lamborghini unveiled the Miura SuperVeloce, or SV, as an enhancement to the Miura S. It included new carburetors and cam timing, boosting the ability to 380 HP in comparison with the Miura S’s 365 HP. The SV not solely elevated velocity and energy but additionally launched refinements, turning it right into a extra sturdy, nearly competition-oriented automobile whereas retaining sufficient civility for informal driving.

The SV designation was reserved for less than 150 Miuras and remained dormant till its revival with the introduction of the Diablo a few years later. Since then, this iconic moniker has made a notable comeback within the Lamborghini lineup, as seen in late-model automobiles just like the Murcielago.

The 6.5L V-12 engine now delivered a formidable 661 HP, achieved by way of enhancements to the consumption system and valve timing. This energy surge enabled the Murcielago to speed up from 0-60 MPH in simply over 3 seconds, attain 100 MPH in about 7 seconds, full the quarter-mile in simply over 10 seconds at round 130 MPH, and attain a prime velocity within the vary of 209 to 213 MPH.

The substantial Aeropack wing on the rear considerably influenced the SV’s prime velocity, sacrificing some velocity however offering essential rear downforce and grip similar to Tremendous Glue. The engineering brilliance prolonged to intensive weight-saving measures, incorporating quite a few carbon fiber parts each inside and outdoors, and favoring Alcantara over leather-based within the inside for its lighter weight. Finally, the LP670-4 SV weighed over 200 kilos lower than the LP640 and exhibited a greater than 20% enhance in aerodynamic downforce.
