Something is really wrong with this article, 409 Hp?!?, the LP640 as 640!!! 3.4 from 0-60?!? the LP640 does that in the 0-62!!! 200 mph?!? Lp640 does 211!!! If this is a special version isn't it odd that all figures are worst? Specially if it is going to be lighter and even more specially if it's going to be called Superveloce!!!

I bet that this F1 version shares bodyshells and engines and rest of its things with all its competitors.

Only badges to make the difference.

i read it will weigh 1540 kg, have 660 hp and a Cx=0.33, so if this is true, i can safely vet it will be a real killer, Enzo-style

That actually looks hot... but the numbers are odd, to say the least.

This is akin to the Porsche GT3, I guess? Comparing the LP640 to the Superveloce is like comparing the Turbo to the GT3, right?

No S4, The LP640 is to SuperVeloce as GT3 is to GT3 RS. LP640 or GT3, these cars are amazing and deserve the highest accolades, personally, I wouldn't bother with the GT3 RS or the SuperVeloce, stock performance more than satisfies my dirty driving habit.

I see. Thanks for the info.

Something tells me I'd be okay with an LP640, too, LOL!

the HP rating is definately a typo. As for top speed. It could be due to the additional downforce offered by the rear wing in the picture. Also it states that it will have shorter ger ratio, perhaps a shorter final drive.
