These are the first pictures of the new Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce, the most extreme supercar to ever emerge from the Sant’ Agata factory. Unsurprisingly, it's making rather large waves at its Geneva motor show debut...

Stop there – I want all the figures on the new Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce

Gladly. Under the outrageous yellow and black bumblebee bodywork sits Lamborghini’s 6.5-litre V12, kicking out 661bhp (670ps, hence the name) at a screaming 8000rpm, while it’s backed up by 487lb ft delivered at 6500rpm.

But this new Lamborghini isn’t just about a few extra ponies (or should that be bulls?). The new SV is 100kg lighter a ‘regular’ Murcielago LP640, yet it still retains the four-wheel drive system.

The result of the beefing up and slimming down is a 0-62mph sprint in 3.2 seconds (down from 3.4), while the top speed is 209mph. That last figure is actually one mph down on the standard car, but if you’re a digit-obsessed power freak, you can have a smaller wing which raises the headline figure to 212mph. We’d go for the bigger Aeropack Wing pictured every time.
