The Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 based Edo Competition LP710-2 is a
faster, more powerful, 2WD version of Lamborghini's flagship model.
The Murcielago LP710-2 is powered by a 6.5 litre V12 engine which
develops 710 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. The increase in power
was achieved through the use of new exhaust headers, new high flow
catalytic converters, new mufflers, a new exhaust tip, new performance
camshafts, modified cylinder heads and new high flow air filters. The
electronic engine control system has been reprogrammed to compliment the
mechanical modifications.
The power improvements are not the only modifications to the powertrain.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the LP710-2 is the fact the
standard cars AWD system has been replaced with a RWD layout. Aside from
the handling changes, this conversion has resulted in a weight saving of
40 kgs (88 lbs).
Cosmetic and aerodynamic modifications to the LP710-2 include a newly
developed and beautifully shaped rear wing with an adjustable lip. A 19
inch light alloy wheel set with special Continental high-speed tires
completes the Edo Competition package.
