Sources on the ground at Germany's Nürburgring believe that this Lamborghini test car is a prototype for the Murcielago Superleggera — a lighter, even more intense version of the Lamborghini supercar flagship.
The black panels on this prototype point to the same use of lighter-weight carbon-fiber and plastic panels found on the recently released Gallardo Superleggera, meaning this super Murcielago gets a new engine hood, door panels and central tunnel made out of the high-tech aerospace materials.
Some of the glass has also likely been replaced by lighter-weight clear plastic, further reducing the Murcielago's mass. This prototype was also fitted with a massive rear wing, also likely crafted from carbon-fiber.
As with the Gallardo Superleggera, this new Murcielago is expected to get a power bump beyond its 640-horsepower, further intensifying the gains made from the 'Lago's weight reduction.
Just how close the Murcielago Superleggera will get to 700-horsepower is currently unknown. Also unknown is exactly when this newest Superleggera will be available to the insanely wealthy, but a public debut at one of this Fall's European motor shows seems logical.
