German sportscar tuner, JB Car Design has upped the ante on the Lamborghini Murciélago with its new Bat LP 640 performance and styling package that will cost buyers a little over €88,000 [for the full tune] or about the same as a brand new 2011 Porsche 911 Carrera in Germany.

The firm's engineers first turn their tuning attention to the Italian supercar's aerodynamics and looks. Limited to just 75 pieces worldwide, the new appearance package is inspired by the Reventon and consists of a contoured front bumper with additional side air intakes, a carbon fiber front lip spoiler, carbon fiber headlight covers, side skirts, rear bumper with side air outlets and carbon rear diffuser.

The company also adds a two-piece carbon fiber rear wing, LED lights and three-piece 20" alloy wheels.

JB Car Design also gives the Murciélago's interior a makeover with a combination of leather and Alcantara surfaces, carbon fiber trim, a new steering wheel and an available high-end sound system with additional subwoofer and amplifier.

Performance modifications include a two stage engine kit with 710HP or 750HP along with a custom exhaust system and sport catalysts.

Lamborghini is not the first to enter the murky waters of the ‘greener' supercar. Ferrari got there first, in conception, with the Millechille. But proving one-up-manship is alive and well in northern Italy, Lamborghini is the first to put their money where their mouth is and produce an actual car, concept though it may be.
From a materials perspective, there's a great deal of innovation to be found, all of it purposed with reducing weight to a scarcely believable 999kg. A forged carbon fibre composite is used to form the tub into which the seat backs are integrated, braided carbon is used to build strength into the sills while the epic exhaust channels are formed from a glass-ceramic mix. Everywhere else you look, there's traditional pre-preg carbon fiber; even the wheels are formed from it.
The interior is radically minimal, building on (or is it stripping back?) themes first seen in the 2007 Toyota FT-HS. We were taken with the stunningly raw steering column mount and pedal box. From the perspective of color and trim, the abundance of satin-finished grey — inside and out — could lead to a rather muted overall impression, but the magenta/red used as a counterpoint is so beautifully judged that, in this aspect, the car is hard to fault.
What's not so difficult to take issue with is the overall surface treatment of the exterior, which came across as Reventon v1.2. There's no doubt this car exhibits some dramatic graphical elements, particularly around the rear where surface is removed to reveal the underlying structure. Yet while it lacks the relative subtlety of the earlier car, it's also left sorely wanting for unbridled drama — either proportion or surface — which would make for a truly groundbreaking new car.
Lamborghini design suggested to more than one member of the CDN team that we had been particularly unimaginative in our reading of this car, both conceptually and thematically. We're prepared to stand by our assertions, feeling that the opportunity to not only own new territory in the supercar market but to also push the brand back into owning extreme and extremely sensual design has been lost.
Judging by the reactions of the design community at large, we're not alone in thinking it's not us who are lacking in imagination.

The Lamborghini concept that’s been naughtily teased over the past month has been unveiled! It’s called the Sesto Elemento and it looks gorgeously outrageous, as spectacular as the name. Sesto Elemento is Italian for Sixth Element, and the sixth element in the periodic table is carbon. Get it?

Boasting an extremely lightweight construction thanks to advanced carbonfibre technology, the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento has an overall curb weight of just 999 kg including its V10 engine and permanent all-wheel drive. That’s very little weight for 570 hp to pull (sensational power-to-weight ratio of only 1.75 kg per hp) and 0 to 100 km/h acceleration is done in only 2.5 seconds!

“Systematic lightweight engineering is crucial for future super sports cars: for the most dynamic performance, as well as for low emissions. We will apply this technological advantage right across our model range. Every future Lamborghini will be touched by the spirit of the Sesto Elemento,” said Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.
