Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce China Special

Lamborghini has decided to offer a limited edition model for the Chinese market following the latest trend displayed by other makes such as Ferrari. It's called the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce China Limited Edition (or the LP 670-4 SV CLE), and "not more than ten" will be built.

Lamborghini explains that the car "is designed and manufactured exclusively for China's most discriminating super sports car enthusiasts." I guess that's Lamborghini-speak for nouveau riche with "colorful" tastes.

The orange stripe is meant to represent an erupting volcano over what I'm guessing is the gray of a volcano.

Inside, owners get their name and serial number on a plaque, while the rest of the car... well, that's pure, rocket-ship LP 670-4 SV.

The engine is Lamborghini's soon-to-be-retired (now) 6.5 liter V12, which means it puts out 670 horsepower to the SV's 100-kilo-lighter body and clips 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds. It tops out at 342 km/h (213 mph), unless buyers go with the "Aeropack Wing", which cuts top speed down to a mere 337 km/h (209 mph).

What this car lacks in a fancy "special edition" name and all that unnecessary "special edition" equipment, it more than makes up for with...nothing. It's a "special edition" for the sake of being a special edition and to suck up to the growing Chinese market.

Except that it's a Lamborghini, so it's still kinda cool.
