Lamborghini Murcielago SV: Last V12 naturally aspirated with manual transmission?

(Motorsport-Total.com/Motor1) – Among all Lamborghini models of the last 25 years, few have left as lasting an impression as the Murciélago. As the last representative of the V12 naturally aspirated supercars from the era before electrification and increasingly intrusive assistance systems, the LP 670-4 SuperVeloce marks the pinnacle of the model’s development.

Now, one of only 300 produced examples is once again in the spotlight. The dream vehicle you see in these pictures is considered by many collectors to be the ideal Murciélago due to its unique configuration. RM Sotheby’s is now offering this car for sale.

The last evolutionary stage of the Lamborghini V12

Introduced in 2009 as the final derivative of the Murciélago, the LP 670-4 SuperVeloce continued the traditional SV abbreviation, which had already been used on the Miura and Diablo. The bull reduced the vehicle’s weight by 100 kg compared to the LP 640, increased the power of the 6.5-liter V12 naturally aspirated engine to 670 hp, and revised the suspension, aerodynamics, and chassis. The result is a power-to-weight ratio of 422 hp per ton, compared to 379 hp per ton for the base model.

The Murciélago was developed at a time when Lamborghini was already under Audi’s control. This contributed to optimized technical conditions and better build quality without diluting the model’s character. Thus, it remained one of the last fully analog supercars of the brand – with a steel body and the famous V12, originally designed by engineer Giotto Bizzarrini, which retired with this model.

A unique piece among only 300 built examples

Even the LP 670-4 SV is rare, but the chassis with number 4015 takes exclusivity to a new level. The car was ordered through the Ad Personam customization program in the special color Marrone Eklipsis, a metallic paint inspired by the final Diablo VT 6.0 SE and used only once on the Murciélago SV.

Additionally, this very special Murciélago forgoes the large, SV-typical rear wing in favor of the more discreet Low-Drag Wing. According to RM Sotheby’s, only three customers chose this option. It increases the top speed from 336 to 341 km/h.

The interior features the more comfortable seats from the LP 640. The spectacular interior is two-tone in Marrone Janus and Avorio Lillium. What really makes this example special, however, is the manual six-speed gearbox with an open shift gate. According to available information, only five Murciélago LP 670-4 SVs left the factory with a manual transmission. The rest were equipped with the automated E-Gear transmission.

Furthermore, this example is considered the last Murciélago LP 670-4 SV with a manual gearbox to leave the factory. This could also make it the last Lamborghini ever built with a V12 engine and manual transmission.

In every respect, it is a milestone in the brand’s history. For many collectors, this is the most significant modern Lamborghini ever – and possibly the last chance to secure this extraordinary model.

The car has only 7,906 kilometers on the clock, and bids will be accepted from August 24 to 26. The car is offered without a reserve price. We are very curious about the final selling price.
