German tuner boosts Murcielago to 750 hpAlsdorf, Germany  - The German sports car tuner JB Car Design has given the Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640 an exclusive upgrade, boosting the power package from 710 to 750 hp, and adding eye- catching details such as 20-inch aluminium wheels, special paintwork and an aerodynamic package.

The "blood to black diamond" paintwork, a JB patent, alone costs some 280 euros per litre (418 dollars) with the special brew limited to 911 litres worldwide. The interior also comes in dashing Alcantara black and red leather with carbon applications. Tinted windows all- round protect the occupants from curious onlookers.

The V12 engine not only comes with the 70 horsepower addition but the driver can adjust the sound of the sports exhaust at the press of a button. The top speed has been increased from 340 to 370 km/h by streamlining the undercarriage much like a Formula 1 racing car.

All this treatment increases the price of the standard Murcielago LP 640 from 285,000 euros (425,000 dollars) to 500,000 euros (746,000 dollars).
