For Sale at Auction: 2008 Lamborghini Murcielago in Las Vegas, Nevada

Chassis No. ZHWBU47S28LA02963

Introduced at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show, the facelifted Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640-4 was a decisive evolution of the marque's flagship V12 supercar, elevating both the performance and presence of the original Murcielago. Its uprated 6.5-liter V12 delivered 631 horsepower rocketing the Raging Bull to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds on the way to a top speed of 211 mph.

Redesigned front and rear fascias, larger center-exit exhaust, and enhanced aerodynamics sharpened its visual aggression. The LP 640-4 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 Murcielago's new performance with enhanced livability. The updated Murcielago Roadster was unveiled that December, which enjoyed all the benefits of the standard LP640-4 with the addition of a removable soft top and an asymmetrical, driver-focused cockpit.

When the Murcielago LP640-4 debuted, Lamborghini confidently embraced the future by positioning its E-Gear paddle-shifted transmission as the model's premier choice, promising a modern, relaxed driving experience when compared to the gated six-speed manual. Buyers overwhelmingly agreed, and the vast majority of Murcielagos left Sant'Agata equipped with paddle shifters, particularly among later variants; in fact, just 16 LP640-4 Roadsters were originally equipped with the manual transmission when new.

Time, however, has dramatically reshaped collector tastes. As manufacturers have moved decisively toward dual-clutch transmissions and increasing electronic intervention, the tactile engagement of Lamborghini's polished open-gate shifter has become one of the defining attributes of the marque's analog era and, as a result, demand has skyrocketed for the analog Bulls. Collectors have since turned to converting paddle shift models, with many Murcielago experts now specializing in the practice.

This 2008 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640-4 Roadster is perhaps the very latest example to undergo this transformation, as its E-Gear paddle-shift transmission was carefully replaced with a six-speed gated manual in October 2026.

Such a transformative enhancement could not have happened to a more deserving car, as this Murcielago was handsomely specified from the factory in stunning Balloon White; combined with an alluring two-tone interior comprised of Nero Perseus and Cuoio Olympus leather upholstery with the desirable Q-Citura stitching option. The interior is further enhanced with navigation and the $8,450 Carbon Package 2, adorning the door sills, steering wheel, dashboard, and center tunnel with carbon fiber trim. Visible carbon fiber extends rearward into the engine bay, adding an additional $4,625 to the car's original sticker.

According to its clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, this example was delivered new to Lamborghini Palm Beach in October 2008. The well-optioned Murcielago Roadster spent much of its time on the East Coast and most recently as a lease vehicle, with recorded ownership in Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Arizona, and most recently in Texas. The car has accumulated just 13,048 miles at cataloging with attentive maintenance indicated across its ownership trail.

The Murcielago's manual conversion, as well as its most recent maintenance, was performed by European exotic car specialists MFK Auto in Boca Raton, Florida. Here the Murcielago was fitted with the European Auto Group (EAG) Gated Manual Conversion Kit-itself a $40,590 package-and meticulous auxiliary work to the pedal assembly, shifter assembly, and electronic components to seamlessly marry the transmission kit to the car. Additionally, the consignor requested MFK perform a full engine service on the monstrous V12 while it was out of the car, with the total cost of the work exceeding $72,000.

With its elegant Balloon White paint and well-appointed interior, this 2008 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640-4 Roadster is sophisticated, powerful, and as of October, gloriously analog. Following its substantial recent service and conversion, it now delivers more than 600 horsepower through a tactile gated shifter, placing the driver firmly in command of Lamborghini's celebrated naturally aspirated V12 powerplant. With the top stowed and the wind rushing overhead, few experiences better capture the raw, mechanical character of the modern-classic supercar.
