Lamborghini Concept teaser

Lamborghini has released a teaser image of its newest offering ahead of the Paris auto show. The new supercar will replace the Murcielago as the flagship Lamborghini. The car will be officially launched on 30th of September this year. Lambo plans to release more images of the car before the launch.

In an attempt to reduce weight and cut emissions, Lambo plans to use a whole lot of carbon-fibre in its construction. The four-wheel drive supercar will have a bespoke carbon composite chassis and a brand new 7.0-litre V12 engine, rumoured to have between 700-720bhp.

The firm wants its 0-62mph time to be close to 3.0sec and 0-100mph should take around 6.0sec and has ruled a DSG transmission because it would be “too complex and too expensive” to engineer.

The new Murcielago itself is expected to be launched at the Geneva motor show in spring 2011.
