After a decade of Diablo production and Lamborghini's recent
purchase by corporate giant Volkswagen, this gave the company a
perfect opportunity to produce a new supercar that could address
the Diablo's build quality and reliability issues to ensure their
future success and profitability. Introduced in 2001, the
Murci�lago proved to be an instant hit and the model's first major
update, the LP640-4, only improved upon what was already an
excellent car.
Fitted with the optional E-Gear paddle-shift transmission, this
Murci�lago LP640-4 was originally delivered new to Dubai and is
finished in the popular colour scheme of Orange over a two-tone
orange and black leather interior. Regularly serviced throughout
its life, it should be noted that the front bumper was repainted to
keep the condition of the nose just as good as that of the rest of
the car. Furthermore, it is important to note that it retains its
original manuals and tool kit.
A landmark model for Lamborghini, with the Volkswagen group's
corporate oversight, the Murci�lago truly brought Lamborghini into
the 21st century and proved that it could compete with Ferrari's
twelve-cylinder offerings. With only 8,000 km from new, this
Murci�lago would certainly be just as thrilling to drive as it is
to behold. To view this car and others currently consigned to this
auction, please visit the RM website at
