The Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640 was a revised version of its predecessor, the Murciélago Coupé.
The displacement of the V12 was increased to 6.2L from 6.5L, giving the car 640 hp and hence the car's name. LP is the abbrevation for longitudinale posteriore, the engine's position.
The LP 640 received an updated six ratio gearbox, as well as a larger oil radiator and intake in order to meet the thermal requirements of the new V12.
It is slightly quicker than the stock Murciélago Coupé and is equipped with a nitrous oxide system, but is only available in Quick Race with a black and grey variant. It cannot compete with the fastest tier 3 cars.
Owing to a high top speed and powerful engine, the LP 640 is greatly recommended for Speed Challenges. Its all-wheel drive system provides a lot of grip and makes it controllable at high speeds.
Need for Speed: Undercover
The LP 640 appears in Need for Speed: Undercover as a tier 1 vehicle with a $250,000 price tag. It is unlocked upon reaching Wheelman Level 13.5. It appears in the PlayStation 2 and Wii releases with a price tag of $250,000.
It is capable of reaching a top speed of 238 mph (383 km/h). With upgrades, it can go over 248 mph (400 km/h). It also has great handling at the cost of a slower acceleration.
Die-cast
A die-cast LP 640 can be unlocked upon entering "gamruvld" at the secret codes menu.
Need for Speed: Shift
The Murciélago LP 640 appears in Need for Speed: Shift as a tier 3 car with a $300,000 price tag. It is unlocked upon collecting 80 stars. The LP 640 has a 13.50 car rating and is capable of a Works conversion.
The car is notable for its top speed, acceleration and braking capabilities. The controllability of the car, thanks to its drivetrain, allow it to be one of the fastest cars within its range.
Need for Speed: World
The LP 640 was made available in Need for Speed: World on May 27, 2011 as a tier 3 car. Since August 22, 2012, it has been featured as a A class vehicle.
The LP 640 was one of the first cars to outperform the BMW M3 GTR in any performance aspect. It has quick acceleration and a powerful perfect nitrous boost. The LP 640 is capable of high-speed cornering thanks to its grippy and responsive handling.
However, it has a tendency to lose balance after performing a jump. Fish tailing is also possible when the car is driven at a high speed but is maintainable due to an all-wheel drivetrain.
The racer vehicle is unlocked upon the player earning a total of 473,750 racer bounty. The SCPD unit is unlocked upon the player earning a total of 360,000 cop bounty.
The main downside of the performance of the car is its somewhat weak acceleration compared to other exotic cars. The LP 640 has good handling and a high top speed to compensate.
