Description

Presented here is a truly exceptional example of the Lamborghini Murciélago 6.2 V12 with a manual gearbox, finished in the iconic original launch color Orange, as seen at the model’s world debut. This specification – naturally aspirated V12, manual transmission and launch‑era configuration – represents the purest and most desirable form of the Murciélago.
As the first V12 Lamborghini developed under Audi ownership, the Murciélago blends improved build quality with the unmistakable drama, aggression and emotion that define the brand. Today, it stands as one of the last truly analog Lamborghini supercars.

Introduced in 2001 as the successor to the Diablo, the Murciélago marked a new chapter for Lamborghini. Designed by Luc Donckerwolke, its silhouette is now widely regarded as one of the most iconic supercar shapes ever created – dramatic, low and wide, yet timeless in its proportions.

This example is powered by the legendary 6.2‑liter naturally aspirated V12, producing 580 hp (426 kW) and delivering performance that remains breathtaking to this day. With a claimed top speed of approximately 340 km/h, the Murciélago offers not only extreme performance but an emotional, mechanical soundtrack unique to high‑revving, naturally aspirated twelve‑cylinder engines.

Manual Transmission – The Ultimate Specification

While many Murciélago models were later equipped with Lamborghini’s automated e‑gear transmission, the 6‑speed manual gearbox is by far the most sought‑after configuration today. It offers an unfiltered, mechanical driving experience and represents the final era of truly driver‑focused Lamborghini V12 cars.

Manual Murciélago examples are increasingly rare and highly prized by collectors, purists and long‑term investors alike.

Original Launch Color

The car is finished in Orange, the famous launch color used by Lamborghini during the Murciélago’s original presentation. This color perfectly emphasizes the car’s dramatic lines and further underlines its historical significance and collectability.

Condition and Documentation

The car presents in very well‑maintained condition, both mechanically and cosmetically. It benefits from extensive documented service history, including a comprehensive 96,000 km major service completed in October 2025 by a renowned specialist.

This major service included, among many items:

Full fluid service (engine, gearbox, differentials, coolant, brake fluid)
Valve clearance adjustment including shims and gaskets
Replacement of spark plugs, belts and filters
Repairs and preventive maintenance on known Murciélago components
Diagnostic calibration of the rear spoiler and air intake systems

This level of documented maintenance sets this example apart and provides significant reassurance to any discerning buyer.
