Lamborghini celebrates production of 4000th Murcielago

What most carmakers will do is hide the information that a certain model has just sold 4,000 units in a span of a decade of production. Some car manufacturers build as many cars in just a month and some can do it over a week. Lamborghini, by all means, is far from being included as one of these carmakers. The 400oth Murcielago marks a day where champagne corks pop and fly.

The 4000th Murcielago is not an ordinary one. It is an LP 670-4 SuperVeloce. For those who might not know, that is the top of the line Murcielago that you can get your hands on. It is the high powered, lightweight version of the super car.

The celebrated Murci can rush from 0 to 60 in a blink of 3.2 seconds and boasts of 670 horsepower output from its V-12 6.5L mid-mounted engine. The limited run of the SuperVeloce series will only produce 350 units.

Lamborghini built only 2,900 units of its previous supercar Diablo over its run of 11 years. Looking at the production, Lambo made a 38% improvement in production comparing the Diablo and Murcielago runs.

If you are curious where the 4,000th Murci was delivered, then you should look at one of the biggest economies in the world today, China. It is a fact that despite the global economic crisis, China’s market for cars remain to be very competitive and is in a fast pace compared to the days of the Model T. Lamborghini has locked their eyes on meeting the demand of the Chinese market. About 25% of Lamborghini’s production is now heading to Asia Pacific.

The Murcielago is also nearing its end of production. It is set to be replaced by the Jota. If you’d like to rent one of these babies – check out our info on Renting a Lamborghini Murcielago in Las Vegas!
