Introduced at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show, the facelifted Lamborghini Murciélago LP640-4 was a decisive evolution of the marque's flagship V12 supercar, elevating both the performance and presence of the original Murciélago. Redesigned front and rear fascias, larger center-exit exhaust, and enhanced aerodynamics sharpened its visual aggression. The LP640-4 notably featured asymmetrical side intakes, the left of which routed to the car's oil cooler. Refined interior appointments included more headroom and a new dashboard with upgraded stereo, pairing the Murciélago's new performance with enhanced livability. The LP640-4's uprated 6.5-liter V12 delivered 640 CV and its upgraded six-speed e-Gear automatic transmission now featured launch control, rocketing the Raging Bull to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds on the way to a top speed of 340 km/h. At the time, Lamborghini was fully committed to its new single-clutch automatic transmission, driven by the belief that an automatic supercar represented the pinnacle of modern performance and luxury. As a result, the traditional manual gearbox which had long managed the power of Lamborghini's legendary V12 family was quietly phased out, making three-pedal Murciélagos increasingly scarce. In the years since however, collectors have rediscovered the magic of the gated six-speed: perfectly pairing visceral, analog engagement with Lamborghini's refined flagship V12 supercar of the 2000s.
This 2009 Lamborghini Murciélago is one of just 88 LP640-4 Coupés equipped with the six-speed gated manual transmission and is believed to be the only one finished in Celeste Phoebe. Its two-tone AD PERSONAM cockpit is decidedly unique: Nero Perseus Q-Citura diamond pattern leather upholstery, upper dashboard, carpets, and transmission tunnel mingle with Azzurro Australis leather seat bolsters, inverted stitching, lower dashboard, and carpet piping. According to the included spec sheet, this example was further optioned with Hermera wheels, glass engine cover, carbon-ceramic brakes, and the Branding package.
Originally specified as a Rest-of-World example, this car was delivered new to Oman and first registered on 4 May 2009. It was shipped to Dubai that November, acquired soon after by its first European owner who imported it to Germany in February 2010. The unique Murciélago participated in the 2010 International Lamborghini Meeting in Saint Moritz, joining a convoy of more than 100 other exceptional Lamborghinis on a journey through the picturesque Swiss Alps. During the prestigious tour, the car was serviced and inspected by Lamborghini St. Gallen. It continued to receive diligent maintenance at Lamborghini Stuttgart, while steadily accumulating mileage. Showing just 31,916 kilometers from new at the time of cataloging, this uniquely specified example is furnished with its original owner's manual and battery maintainer kit.
Clothed in a one-off specification and armed with the coveted gated six-speed manual transmission, this 2009 Lamborghini Murciélago LP640-4 Coupé offers a unique expression of the marque's last analog V12 supercar. Today, the crisp mechanical engagement of the open-gate shifter has become a defining hallmark of early-2000s Lamborghini performance, prized by collectors for the intimacy and precision it brings to taming the Raging Bull. Manual-equipped Murciélagos now rank among the most coveted models from Sant'Agata Bolognese; exceedingly rare yet thoughtfully refined and usable thanks to Audi development. A well-appointed, three-pedal Murciélago LP640-4 such as the example offered here is an essential addition to any discerning supercar collection while remaining a thrillingly capable companion for the dreamlike grand tours Lamborghini ownership unlocks.
