2012 Lamborghini Jota Murcielago revealed

2012 Lamborghini Jota Murcielago 1

The first clear pictures with the all-new 2012 Lamborghini Murcielago have surfed over the web today, a supercar that will be probably named “Jota” and will replace the current Murcielago. The car will go on sale early next year and will be priced at over £300,000.

The 2012 Lamborghini Jota Murcielago is powered by a 7.0L V12 engine that is able to deliver between 700 and 720 HP and will take this supercar to an amazing top speed of 362 km/h! The new Lambo will feature a bespoke carbon composite chassis with an aggressive and dynamic bodywork and will come with an unusually light four wheel drive system.

Sources indicate that this new Lambo will weight less than 1,500 kg which will probably result in a breathtaking acceleration. Since the power to weight ratio will be in the region of 470 HP per 1,000 kg the car will probably accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 3 seconds.

The 2012 Lamborghini Jota Murcielago won’t feature a DSG transmission because it would be too complex and too expensive to engineer but it will come with a sequential seven speed manual with a seven speed paddle shift as standard.

The driver’s position in the interior will no longer be offset towards the center of the car because Lamborghini has been able to start with a clean sheet design and probably they won’t make any compromises to work around inside the car.
