Lamborghini Bat LP 640 by JB Car Design gets 750HP and Reventon-Style Outfit

German sportscar tuner, JB Car Design has upped the ante on the Lamborghini Murciélago with its new Bat LP 640 performance and styling package that will cost buyers a little over €88,000 [for the full tune] or about the same as a brand new 2011 Porsche 911 Carrera in Germany.

The firm's engineers first turn their tuning attention to the Italian supercar's aerodynamics and looks. Limited to just 75 pieces worldwide, the new appearance package is inspired by the Reventon and consists of a contoured front bumper with additional side air intakes, a carbon fiber front lip spoiler, carbon fiber headlight covers, side skirts, rear bumper with side air outlets and carbon rear diffuser.

The company also adds a two-piece carbon fiber rear wing, LED lights and three-piece 20" alloy wheels.

JB Car Design also gives the Murciélago's interior a makeover with a combination of leather and Alcantara surfaces, carbon fiber trim, a new steering wheel and an available high-end sound system with additional subwoofer and amplifier.

Performance modifications include a two stage engine kit with 710HP or 750HP along with a custom exhaust system and sport catalysts.

Interested? Lamborghini Reventon No3 Looking for its Third Owner

If you ever had any doubts that, rare exotic supercars like the Lamborghini Murcielago Reventon spend most -if not all- of their life parked in showrooms or private garages, then take a look at this example that has been listed for sale on eBay with a 'Buy it Now Price' of US$1,495 million.

This Reventon is said to be car number 3 of the 20 that Sant' Agata churned out, and just one of ten that came to the U.S.

The 650HP Italian rocket that's capable of speeds in excess of 340km/h or 211mph has clocked a mere 78 miles on the odo since it arrived in the States in 2008 and only 5 miles since it changed hands for the second time in September of last year!

True, the Reventon is a one-of-a-kind supercar / collectible and its owners should be extremely cautious when it comes to using the vehicle, but being a car guy and all, I can't help but think that's it's a real shame that most of these cars will never be driven as they were meant...

Lamborghini RatÛn by Niels Steinhoff

The Lamborghini RatÛn is an aggressively styled concept for a flagship supercar designed to compete against the Bugatti Veyron. Like the Reventon, Steinhoff's project is inspired by modern stealth fighters such as the F22 Raptor.

Lamborghini Ankonian by Slavche Tanevski

The mid-engined Ankonian is a proposal for a more compact sized Lamborghini supercar employing both 'soft' and angular surfaces in the design. Needless to say, it could also form the basis for a future Batmobile.

Lamborghini Timador by Johannes Brandsch

The main objective of this design was to create a lighter supercar through the use of overlapping shells, the biggest one of which forms the shoulders of the car separating the air inlets from the passenger compartment.

Lamborghini Muleta by Dalibor Vidojkovic

Design student Vidojkovic took a different approach with the Muleta ditching the stealth-fighter inspired styling of most modern Lamborghinis for more fluent lines that span across larger surfaces.

Lamborghini New Espada by Fabian Weinert

Said to have been conceived before the Estoque sport sedan concept car, the Fabia Weinert's New Espada is a study for a modern four-door Lamborghini saloon designed to challenge cars like the Aston Martin Rapide and Porsche Panamera. As its name suggests, the sports saloon's styling was inspired by the original Espada.
