even more power …
… edo competition beats its own record with the fastest Lamborghini
Murciélago in the world
About one and a half
years ago the tuning specialists from Ahlen laid hands on a
Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 and turned into the fastest and most
powerful Murciélago in the world. Back then, the edo competition
team managed to extract 710 horsepower and 700 Nm (516 ft-lb) of
torque from the 6.5 liter V12 engine. This car was clocked at over
352 km/h (219 mph) on the Papenburg high speed test track, a mark
that remains unmatched to this day.
But this was not the end of the line, as edo competition is proving
with the new Murciélago LP750.
A top speed of up to 365 km/h is possible. The engine’s power output
was increased to an impressive 750 horsepower and the torque output
now stands at 740 Nm (546 ft-lb). The LP750 hits 100 km/h (62 mph)
in 3.1 seconds, 200 km/h (124 mph) in 9.7 seconds and the magical
300 km/h (186 mph) mark in 24.5 seconds.
The LP640 still provides the basis for this monster. To achieve the
enormous boost in power, the cylinder heads were modified and a high
flow airbox was installed. The completely revised intake system for
this engine features a new hand-made intake manifold as well as
modified air ducts. This system helps to increase the intake air
mass and velocity, an effect that becomes even more pronounced at
higher speeds. High performance exhaust headers, high flow catalytic
converters, more aggressive camshafts, bucket tappets, mufflers,
exhaust tips and high flow air filters were developed from the
ground up and installed on the vehicle. The ECU was reprogrammed to
make ideal use of these modifications.
Complementing the engine modifications is an optimized aerodynamics
package which improves high-speed stability and adds to the dynamic
and elegant appearance of the vehicle. A re-designed, beautifully
shaped rear wing, now featuring an adjustable lip spoiler, rounds
off the package.
New high-speed wheel and tire set: ultra-lightweight 18/19 alloy
wheels with special Michelin 265/35 ZR 18 front and 345/30 ZR 19
rear tires.
A new edo competition high performance exhaust system made from
stainless steel, along with a revised exhaust tip, provides a great
soundtrack and adds to the rear of the car. A butterfly valve system
is optional and a remote control is available on request. The entire
exhaust system is plasma-coated – a process that has been used in
the aerospace industry for years.
edo competition has also developed a new single plate clutch to
fortify the drivetrain in light of the extra power. On request, the
LP750 can be converted from all-wheel to rear-wheel drive, resulting
in weight savings of 40 kg (88 lbs) and even more agile handling.
All modifications are carried out exclusively at edo competition
Motorsport GmbH in Ahlen.
