Manual Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640 for sale

It cannot be easy to stand out in the crowd during an event such as Monterey Car Week. One moment the wraps come from your brand new, multi-million pound carbon hypercar for a crowd of potential buyers with money to burn. While a sea of ​​influencers reaches their phones together, Gordon Murray appears with another V12 -Supercar and steals the show completely.

This is precisely the situation that Lamborghini surpasses last week. Just after the coverage of his ultra-exclusive phenomeno, a limited Run V12 Hypercar that looks a bit tame, Gordon Murray fluctuated with a modern interpretation of the F1 GTR and a chic new long tail, so that everything else looked a bit, good, good, good. And it is not as if the phenomeno is phenomenally exclusive. Lamborghini builds 29 of them, which is less than his Sian predecessor, although the Centenario and Reventon were more scarce with 20 coupes each. But if you really want to make a splash on Monterey Car Week, you don’t have to take the trouble with one of them – instead you have to take this manual Muricelago LP -640.

Every old LP-640 will pull a crowd. The Murcielago was the first production car of Lamborghini built from the ground under the watchful eye of Audi, which resulted in a V12 -Supercar that was considerably more accessible (and firmer), but was just as dramatic in the audio and visual department. All early cars came with a manual six -speed gearbox, but when an automated system was introduced a few years later, it soon became the more popular of the two. Lamborghini, however, remained due to the familiar H-pattern for the LP-640 upgrade in 2006. But at this point, Flappy Paddle fever had taken over the supercar world and the demand for a V12 with three pedals was, shocking, almost not existing.

The emphasis on the ‘Almost’, because Lamborghini managed to find a handful of buyers who were willing to run the trend for the more traditional option. Of the 1,250 LP-640 coupes that Sant’Agata left, 88 were chosen with a manual gearbox. And only six would be specified in the right hand, this balloon -white example is one of them.

That means that you get all the benefits of the 6.5-liter naturally extracted V12, raised to 640 hp (no less than 60 hp more than the original), without a jerky e-speed tray in the way. The LP-640 also came with a few subtle design adjustments, including a more aggressive front-end and a single exhaust pipe, plus improved anti-roll bars, feathers and dampers to grind the handling. Carbon ceramic brakes were available as an optional extra, a box tapped the original owner of this car, so you really get the full LP-640 experience here.

However, it is an experience that will bring you back a bit. Not entirely seven digits, but not a million miles from £ 875,000. That is the type of money that you buy this LP670-4 SV and you let £ 175k change, or this E-LP-640 with enough money to save for a brand new Revuelto if you feel like it. Heck, it will probably get you a good way to the phenomeno if the money burns a gap in your pocket, but it makes you wonder what a larger audience would attract. Lambo’s newest rarity or 18-year-old Murci with a stick in the middle? I would cover my bets on the last …
