At the Beijing auto show, Lamborghini is joining Bentley among top-rung luxury manufacturers unveiling “China Edition” cars. Bentley introduced two China editions, one of its Flying Spur Speed and one of the Continental GT. Seen here is Lamborghini’s Murciélago LP670-4 SuperVeloce China Limited Edition. And we thought Texas was the biggest country to get its own special-edition vehicles. (Yes, we know Texas isn’t a country. But ask any Texan and they’ll tell you: It could be.)
So what sets the Murciélago LP670-4 SV China Limited Edition apart from all those workaday Murciélago LP670-4 SVs? Only the strength of an erupting volcano. Well, an orange stripe down the center of the car, anyway, that Lamborghini says symbolizes the strength of said volcano. The rest of the car is matte gray. Inside, the black Alcantara is trimmed with vibrant orange stitching, and the paddles for the e-gear automated manual transmission are painted orange as well.
Otherwise, it’s all humdrum Murciélago LP670-4 SV, which is to say it’s fantastic. With 661 hp from the 6.5-liter V-12, the SV should get from rest to 60 mph in around three seconds flat, and with a lap of just 2 minutes 53.9 seconds, it was the fourth-quickest street-legal car we’ve ever tested at our annual Lightning Lap. Only 10 Murciélago LP670-4 SuperVeloce China Limited Editions will be sold. While most other special edition cars might be numbered, only the Lambo will have the owner’s name engraved on the number plate as well. So there, Bentley.
