me and my friend would argue all the time which is faster the gallardo or murcielago i went with the murcielago more hp,more top speed,looks better a race i'd like to see is the sv vs the lp570-4 superleggera it would be very close

Mike B 13y ago

Yep, This cars are very close.
The data here for the LP640 comes from the obvious ringer used by 4R, no other magazine came ever close to match those numbers, it wasn't until the SV was tested that similar performance was achieved by any other Lambo.
