Monster Murcielago Spied

After giving its Gallardo the Superleggera (superlight) treatment, Lamborghini has chosen to put its Murcielago on a diet too.

This prototype Murcielago Superleggera was spotted lapping the Nürburgring recently, and is expected to be debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September.

The weight loss is thanks to the extensive use of carbon fibre throughout the car. Lightweight doors, mirrors, central tunnel covering and engine cover all help to shave between 100 and 150 kg from the Murcielago, while its monster V12 powerplant is expected to reach around 700bhp.

Top speed should be in the region of 350km/h (217mph.)
