The Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 Roadster will receive its world première at the Los Angeles Auto Show tomorrow, less than a week ahead of its European debut, scheduled for the Bologna Motor Show next week. The Murciélago LP640 Roadster follows hard on the heels of the LP640 Coupé, which made its debut in Geneva earlier this year, a car that pushed the Murciélago theme forward and which has galvanised sales the dramatic V12-engined supercar.

The new Murciélago Roadster model will receive the same tag as the revised coupé, LP640 (which refers to its engine position - longitudinale posteriore - and to its power 640bhp). In creating the Murciélago LP640, Lamborghini's designers and engineers not only focused on reworking the engine, suspensions, gearbox, exhaust system, brakes and electronics, but also the interior and exterior design; improvements that have made the Murciélago LP 640 the most extreme and fastest sports car in its class. Now these important changes and improvements have been made to the Roadster version of the Murciélago, offering the advances of the LP640 coupé with added benefit of 'wind in the hair' motoring.
