Like the Diablo SV, the formula was to increase power, reduce weight and increase downforce. The most exciting Murciélago came in 2009, the Murciélago LP 670–4 SuperVeloce. A Roadster version of the LP640 came later that year.

A new single outlet exhaust system incorporated into the rear diffuser, modified suspension system, revised programming, and upgraded clutch for the 6-speed "e-Gear" automated manual transmission with launch control rounded out the performance modifications. The exterior received a noticeable facelift, featuring revised front and rear fascias, and asymmetrical side air intakes, with the left side intake feeding an oil cooler. With displacement now increased to 6.5 litres, the engine was rated at 631 hp. In 2005 there was an evolution, called the Murciélago LP 640. Performance was on-par with the coupe and on the road, the loss of chassis stiffness was for the first time not obvious to drivers. The Murcielago Roadster has a cut-down windscreen, thus its overall height is 70 mm lower than the Coupe. Luc Donckerwolcke made no secret that it was not his desire to design the Roadster, because the sweeping, flowing shape of Murcielago does not adapt well to roofless. The second Murciélago variant was the Roadster. However, the biggest improvement is fine tuning all components to extract their real potential, and to make the controls easier to live with. The front to rear weight distribution is barely improved by 1% to 42:58. The Brembo brakes, with 355mm / 335mm discs front and rear and 4-pot calipers, are similar to the Diablo’s.
The ABS is improved, traction control is added, front tyres are marginally wider, and Pirelli specially designed P-Zero "Rosso" for this car. The electronic adaptive damping and adjustable ride height for front wheels are still there. For example, the double-wishbones suspensions and the mandatory 4-wheel-drive system with viscous-coupling center differential are almost unaltered. The rest of the mechanical layout remains unchanged from Diablo 6.0. The transmission was now 6-speed instead of the ancient 5-speed unit and the chassis handled much better. In addition to the updated engine, the Murciélago saw other upgrades over the Diablo. What Audi did do is improve the overall quality and that was a great thing. The concern about Audi watering down the extreme Lamborghini brand was unfounded because the Murciélago was an absolute screamer of a supercar from the very first day. The Murciélago was the first Lamborghini built under the watchful eye of the safe Audi executives. Lamborghini Murciélago History & Evolution
Below we take you through everything you ever wanted to know about the Lamborghini Murciélago. Over the years the V12 was upgraded as was the entire Murciélago range.
It also got new 3-stage variable geometry intake manifold and exhaust valve variable timing (in addition to the existing intake VVT). Like the Diablo, it is powered by a naturally aspirated V12, now bigger than ever thanks to being stroked-out to 6192 cc (6.2 liters). The heart of any Lamborghini supercar is its engine and the Murciélago has one of the best naturally aspirated engines ever made. It was clearly an evolution of the Diablo design, with more purity of design like the original Countach. The new Lamborghini was styled by Audi designer Luc Donckerwolcke (no Marcello Gandini here). Its high quality standards and testing procedures improved the new generation Lamborghinis a lot, making them far more reliable and user friendly than the past. Since acquiring Lamborghini, Audi invested a lot of money to modernize the Sant'Agata factory and helped engineer the new Murciélago (it had limited impact on the last Diablo models). The impact of Audi taking over Lamborghini in 1998 was most massively felt when Lamborghini launched the successor to the Lamborghini Diablo, the mighty Murciélago.
