As the Lamborghini story goes, the “Murciélago,” or “bat” in Spanish, was named after a famous bull that survived its matador in 1879 in the Cordoba arena. When it was launched in 2002, this was one of the fastest supercars of its day, capable of over 330 km/h thanks to a 580-horsepower, 6.2-liter V12 engine. Luc Donckerwolke’s aggressive and angular styling was a huge success, and certain elements can still be seen on Lamborghini models today. The Murciélago was one of the last generation of supercars still available with a manual gearbox, the E-gear box becoming an option with the arrival of the LP640 in 2006.
Our example is presented in a rare and elegant combination of metallic dark blue exterior with a cream leather interior in good original condition. In 2003, the owner had a Murciélago SV body kit installed by Lamborghini that included carbon spoiler and bonnet, front bumper and 18-inch wheels. The £25,000 bill can be found in the file. With just over 51,000 km on the clock today, the car benefited from an €11,000 service in mid-June 2021, and a report on the overall condition, carried out by Lamborghini at Lyon, is available for interested parties to view.
This supercar in evening dress is a real collector’s piece today, walking in the footsteps of its older sisters, the Miura, Countach and Diablo. It’s all in the genes!
