German Car Zone

German tuner JB Car Design specialize in building one-off, bespoke vehicles designed to meet individual client's every whim no matter how demanding they may be. JB Car Design even brags that it can rearrange a car’s entire cabin if a client so desires, but thankfully this option hasn’t been applied to the firm’s latest custom Lamborghini Murcielago ‘LP-640 JB-R’.

The extent of the modifications extends to almost every inch of the Murcielago. In fact, of the original Lamborghini only the doors remain the same--even the roof panel is changed. There’s a bolder, more aggressive front bumper, eye-catching sills, a more dynamic rear, and a specially designed titanium sports exhaust system.

Such a bespoke exterior appearance has to be matched on the inside, and luckily the tuning firm also has experience in this area. Rich leather and hand-finished aluminum accents abound, and little touches such as the specially engineered aluminum air vents reveal the extent that the firm goes to when creating its cars.

Power upgrades range from about 710 to 750-horsepower, and are joined by a new F1-style steering wheel with a rocker switch for shifting gears. Other modifications include 20-inch Schmidt Revolution aluminium wheels and the aforementioned titanium sports exhaust system.

Pricing for the conversion starts at more than €500,000 (approximately $738,348), plus a Lamborghini Murcielago, of course.

Press Release

JB Design presents the ultimate car among the coupés. The LP 640 JB-R is a sports car of breathtaking fascination, menacingly power and uncompromising luxury. The 12-cylinder engine performs now after power level I (28.000,00 Euro) 525 KW (710 hp). The Lamborghini comes in combination with a changed underbody (ground effect) to an unbelievable final velocity. Not until the sports car has reached 370 km/h the air drag decelerates it. Gears are changed using a F1 steering wheel rocker switch.

No question, with the upgraded LP 640 JB-R JB Car Design has raised the bar for competition in the section super sports cars again a lot: with his increased performance up to 710 respectively 750 hp and his VIP-finishing in "Blood to Black Diamond" he not just delivers again a clear growth in output but an individual visual appearance as well. The patent registered finish is only available through JB Car Design. It costs (ready to be sprayed on) 280,00 Euro per litre and is limited to 911 litre worldwide, whereby the exclusivity is guaranteed.

The sharpened version of the LP 640 JB-R is as close to racing as no other car with MOT approval. But luxury is also to be found, as for example in the interior. The whole interior was colour adjusted to the exterior by using high quality materials in combination with dark red Ultrasuede and black smooth leather in bi-colour as well as little extras made of carbon fibre. In addition very decent and in black: tinted windshield, back and side windows (2.370,00 Euro including the approval of the Technical control board).

After having made over the interior it is now turn of the wheelset. New three part 20" Schmidt Revolution aluminium rims with hardened outer rim made of stainless steel in combination with Michelin wide base tires size 265/30-20 and 335/30-20.

As impressive as the sprint on the long straight stretch might be, most fun with the LP 640 JB- R you have in the curves. This is the reason why JB Car Design has intensified the abrasion by using their own aerodynamic-package consisting of front- and rear spoiler, rear diffusor, air intake in the front, side coverings, side skirts, the front opening hood as well as the engine hood. They have newly adjusted the running gear and tuned the super athlete thus he practically sticks to the street.

The built in, premium flap controlled sport exhaust systems offers the best sound at the push of a button. With the provided remote control the customer can change the sound of the exhaust pipe while driving.

The demonstration car is available for a price of 355.000,00 Euro ( YOC 2008, 9.000 km). The original price incl. the costs of the conversion is 500.000,00 Euro!
