As per www.lamborghini.com the mass is 1665 kg "dry", no fuel!
I guess that we need a correction here because most other cars have the mass
figure as "curb weight" and that includes EVERYTHING, full tank of fuel, etc
LP640 power is wrong. The real value is 631 HP SAE or BHP if you prefer. This is
640 PS or DIN HP. Check by converting from kW. Everywhere should be the same
units.
Weight is at least 1730 kg with fuel.
We should not let Lamborghini's marketing tricks fool us :-)
sorry Z06 the Murcielago is 640hp.
Who cares what europen PS hp are in bhp or US hp... it is a europen car he
recived his name from his engine layout LP = longitudinale posteriore = middle
engine 640 for the hp poweroutput..
Such corrections are pointless...sorry 95% of the cars here are Europen... for
that reason no one is interest in SAE hp
The LP 640 has 471kW poweroutput that are NOT 631hp SAE that are 631.62hp. No
rolling road dyno has such a smale measurence tolerance
sportauto 7/2006 claims 1800kg for the stick shift and auto motor und sport
18/2006 claims 1843kg for the E-Gear ... the 1665kg was the weight of a
testvehicle send by Lambroghini to the Autobild Sportcars 0-300km/h acceleration
contest 1/2007.
the top speed should be updated - according to Evo it was measured at 345,7 km/h
at Nardo.
Though I don't speak german at all I deducted they used Continental V-max tyres
(and I don't know if they come standard with the car) - maybe somebody speaking
german could verify that:

most likely the northloop laptime of the LP640 was driven for the complete lap
20,833km not the sportauto lap that is used by sportauto and nearly all
manufactor for their lap time time attack runs... Autobild always drives full
laps..
