All wheel drive can be a great thing while taking corners at high speeds on road courses, or maybe even driving in the snow, but let’s face it – nothing is quite as fun as a high powered rear wheel drive car. By taking styling cues from the ever-popular Murcielago LP640, and integrating an all-new rear wheel drive setup, Lamborghini may have just created their best work of art yet.

Sporting a tweaked V12 engine, the Murcielago SV will pump out 680 horsepower while still weighing 220lbs less than the LP640. To keep the wheels on the ground at high speeds, the SV will utilize a fixed rear wing. It may be a little tacky to some, but the functionality of it speaks for itself. A top speed of well over 200mph is expected of this high dollar supercar, but it should still be tame enough to pick up groceries on the weekends, if you can find a place to store them for the ride home, that is.

The Lamborghini Murcielago SV will surely attract crowds from all over the world when it is debuted at the next Paris Motor Show.
