The blurb about it from Top Gear...
What do you do as a tuning house when you realise you can't squeeze any more power out of an engine?
Roll out the carbon fibre, of course.
When the German engine tweakers at Hamann Motorsport got their hands on the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, they weren't able to up the power of the 6.5-litre V12 so they decided to concentrate instead on creating an 'aerodynamic bodykit'.
Taking inspiration from the Lambo Countach, it consists of new front and rear spoilers, two-part rear diffuser, side skirts and an airbox sitting on top of the roof. There are also 20-inch alloy wheels to Hamann's own design and a new lightweight exhaust to which apparently gives an improved rear end appearance.
The result is, well, eye-catching. In the same way as a fish hook is eye-catching.
And call us cynics, but we're betting that those aerodynamic modifications don't do much to improve the Murcielago's performance. Or, indeed, the looks. We'll leave Italian sports car design in the hands of the Italians, thank you.

the Countach, Diablo, and Murcielago have all had weirdly shaped rear wheel wells, getting "less weirder" with each new model.. have a look..

The Countach LP400 pictured above remains my favorite, over Easter we were in Bavaria in restaurant when several members of a local Lamborghini club came rolling by............... the roar from those 4 Lambos especially the two Countaches was more or less heartstopping. Imagine these things are pretty close to having straight open headers with something like a muffler plopped on the end to at least somewhat restrain the insanity !! The Italians might nor build cars that are well known for reliability however when they run they RUN!!

Hi Srika,
If I am not mistaken that photo is of a preproduction LP 400 Countach taken at the Factory in St. Agate.
That LP 400 in it's original unbespoilered version is the best version, The spoiler version went slower anyway as even though the enormous spoilers helped with downforce they also added so much drag that the spoiler cars invariably went slower than the non spoiler cars.
Ofcourse the Miura was/is/will always be my favorite. Thanks for the nice Photos Srika

Press release...
Stealth-Bomber for the race track: HAMANN Lamborghini Murciélago LP640
• Aerodynamic-components provide impressions of racing motor sports
• double-pipe stainless steel rear silencer
• Wheels „Edition Race“ in 20 inch
• Carbon-look interior set
• Complete interior kits to customer preferences on individual basis
It looks like a Stealth-Bomber on four wheels. It is one of the most masculine looking sports car and it is fast. The Lamborghini LP640 through its appearance gives a clear impression it’s not just for show. HAMANN decisively set its goal to send a clear message and sharpened the Italian steer’s horns. HAMANNs modifications through look, driving dynamics and sound create a distinct difference.
Maintenance of road contact is most essential when one is pushing a super sports car to the limit. To achieve greater downforce on the front and rear axle HAMANN offers a front spoiler as well as a rear wing. Whoever prefers to show their affiliation to motor sports can order the parts in Carbon-Kevlar instead of the fiberglass version. Where’s the starting grid?
HAMANN applies further aerodynamic components in form of a two-part rear diffuser with additional air hoses for the extendable side air intakes, side sills as well as a two-part front wing and Carbon-pendants for the original side intakes in the sills in front of the rear wheels. Furthermore, a central running air box on the roof brings back memories of past Lamborghini Diablo GT-R days. Naturally, these parts are also available in Carbon-Kevlar or fiberglass.
Impressive sound and stunning rims
The HAMANN double-pipe stainless sports rear silencer (2x120mm end pipes) emits a sound similar to that generated from race tracks announcing the arrival of the blood-curdling steer. Positive side effect; an even sportier rear look. Export customers can extend their exhaust system with a HAMANN sport metallic catalytic converter.
Also for individualization of vehicles within this high performance calibre, a choice of new wheel design is inherent. HAMANN suggests its own creation „Edition Race“. This multipieced, forged light alloy metal wheel with black wheel spider, “Y” spoke design, Titan bolts and high polished rim flange utilized for Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 comes in the combination 8,5Jx20“ front and 13,0Jx20“ rear. As expected, HAMANN also offers here a complete wheel set with typical tires sizes 235/30 ZR 20 (FA) und 325/25 ZR20 (RA).
HAMANN prepares the cockpit of the Super-Lambo providing even more sports racing atmosphere. For this, the tuners from Laupheim, Germany offer an 8-part carbon-look interior set. The race car look is established through instrument cockpit bordure, the air bleed jet, the gear shifting panel as well as the cigarette ashtray console. Naturally, HAMANN offers each Lamborghini customer preferred alterations on an individual basis. For instance, extravagant leather furnishing in a variety of colours is possible or additional of multi-media articles.
