The Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640 was a revised version of its predecessor, the Murciélago Coupé. The displacement of the V12 was increased to 6.2L from 6.5L, giving the car 640 hp and hence the car's name. LP is the abbrevation for longitudinale posteriore, the engine's position. The LP 640 received an updated six ratio gearbox, as well as a larger oil radiator and intake in order to meet the thermal requirements of the new V12.
