Back in July 2009, Reiter Engineering unveiled its Murcielago LP670 R-SV, a GT1 race-ready version of the already hardcore LP 670-4 SV. Until now, the only pictures of the LP670 R-SV that exist were the ones taken at the 24 hours of SPA. Thanks to racingworld.it, more pictures have become available.
To fill you in on this special Murcielago, here is the press release from Reiter…
The car is based on the production Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 model. It is equipped with a new, more powerful 6.5 V12 engine producing 670 PS/493 kW (without restrictor), which propels the wild bull with a torque of 660 Nm (@ 6,500 rpm). The FIA-ECU from Magneti Marelli regulates the engine control.
The REITER Lamborghini P670 R-SV is designed and manufactured to comply with the FIA 2010 regulations. The FIA allows only 6 automobile brands to be nominated. The race car is targeting to be nominated for the GT World Championship.
The GT1 machine from REITER measures 4800 mm in length and is 2058 mm wide. The total weight is only 1,150 kg (+ ballast to correspond with the FIA 2010 regulations).
A complete carbon outer skin clothes the Lamborghini racer. Its new visual appearance is unmistakable – extreme and uncompromising. The significantly modified aerodynamics improves the aerodynamic efficiency compared to its predecessor the Murciélago R-GT.
In addition, the engineers could also improve the suspension geometry. Compared to its forerunner, the new suspension geometry with modified roll-centre height and improved steering geometry, modified track width and re-engineered suspension components characterise the new Lamborghini race car.
The race braking system, comprised of carbon discs and pads, was also re-engineered and is now equipped with superior cooling.
