2009 Lamborghini LP 640 Roadster Versace: Excess on Wheels
|
As if the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 wasn't exclusive or expensive enough, the Italian luxury sports car has decided to partner with design house Versace once again for a designer luxury supercar.
Featuring exclusive Versace logos plastered in all the right places, the 2009 Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 Roadster Versace is by special order only. Lamborghini touts the Versace edition Murcielago as a partnership between two exclusive Italian luxury brands.
The open-top Lambo has all the standard features of the screaming-fast Murcielago LP 640, decked out in white with white-and-black leather and a new clear casing for the engine cover. More photos on the way as they are released.

VERSACE – LAMBORGHINI ANNOUNCE THE LAUNCH OF:
THE NEW LAMBORGHINI MURCIÉLAGO LP 640 ROADSTER VERSACE
AND
THE EXCLUSIVE VERSACE COLLECTION LP 640
Milan, 23rd June 2008 – Versace and Lamborghini, collaborators since 2006, proudly announce the
launch of the new Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640 Roadster VERSACE and a unique collection of
accessories, both to be previewed for the first time at the Maison’s Via Gesù 12, Milan on Monday
June 23rd, 2008.
To create the new super roadster, the Maison Versace's designers joined forces with designers
from the Lamborghini Design Centre (Centro Stile)and specialists working on the "ad personam"
project. This Lamborghini program allows individual clients to create personalised sports cars,
choosing the equipment specification, the colour of the exterior body and of the interior fittings.
The new limited edition Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640 Roadster VERSACE, which will be
produced to order, displays a pastel white livery and the Versace Greek key motif on the lower part
of the door. Equipped for the very first time with a transparent engine hood that reveals the
powerful V12 engine, this model has been reconfigured internally. The cradle seats are clad in
black and white leather, while opulent full grain soft nappa leather – hand-embroidered with the
Versace Greek fret motif -upholsters the instrument panel, the doors and the central console.
The rigorous design and minimal lines of the Murciélago engine hood inspired the Versace
Collection LP 640 range of accessories, which will also be previewed for the first time globally.
Exclusively crafted in black matte calf skin, models include: a trolley bag, suit carrier, sports bag,
as well as a briefcase, suitcase, gloves, driving shoes, belt, wallet, key ring, beauty case, hat and a
pair of jeans. These hand-made accessories boast traditional craftsmanship, stitching and edging à
la française and a palladium-engraved tag displaying both the Versace and Lamborghini logos.
This prestigious accessory collection will be exclusively available at Versace Boutiques and
selected Lamborghini showrooms beginning in November 2008.
Gianni Versace’s CEO Giancarlo Di Risio emphasised: “This new supercar and the exclusive
Collection LP640 represent a natural evolution of excellence for both Versace and Lamborghini
through the creation of these unique, one-of-a-kind projects.”
Stephan Winkelmann, president and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A., said: "Our
collaboration with Versace turned out to be an excellent experience and is an example of how we
are pursuing our strategy of developing luxury products outside of luxury sports cars. We are proud
to be in this prestigious, Made in Italy partnership with Versace, which adds to our other recent
successes."
Base Price: 2009 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster Versace: By special order only. ($358,000 for 2008 LP640 Roadster standard edition)
