AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640 from 2008 in the rare original factory color Arancio Ishtar
• Equipped with the iconic 6.5-liter V12 engine paired with the revised and faster E-gear transmission
• Factory-equipped with optional carbon-ceramic brakes, a front axle lift system, and carbon finish in both the engine bay and at the door sills
• Recently undergone a very extensive service with a Dutch specialist, including renewed clutch, refurbished steering rack, and a Quicksilver exhaust system
• Original exhaust and navigation unit are included, along with two original keys and the plastic emergency key

HISTORY & OVERVIEW:

The Lamborghini Murciélago, designed by Luc Donckerwolke and introduced in 2001 as the successor to the Diablo, marked the dawn of a new era for the Sant'Agata Bolognese brand under the Audi umbrella. With the introduction of the LP 640 in 2006, the model was significantly evolved: engine displacement of the legendary Bizzarrini V12 was enlarged to 6.5 liters with a power output of 640 hp, and the E-gear sequential transmission became considerably faster and more reliable. This particular unit was delivered new by Lamborghini in Japan in 2008 and was registered in Germany until 2025. Last year the vehicle was imported to the Netherlands and underwent a thorough service at a marque specialist.

EXTERIOR:

The bodywork is in a very neat condition and finished in the original, rare color Arancio Ishtar. In the past, some panels have been repainted. The car sits on black Hercules wheels that are undamaged and equipped with Pirelli tires measuring 245/18 at the front and 335/18 at the rear, with about 95% tread depth. The door sills are finished in glossy carbon fiber. The front-axle lift system functions properly. The exterior mirrors do not presently fold automatically.

INTERIOR:

The interior is equipped with a modern multimedia system with DAB+, Bluetooth and smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The original navigation unit has been preserved and is included separately. No fault messages are displayed on the instrument panel and the available controls function properly.

ENGINE & TECHNICAL:

The 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine is paired with the E-gear transmission and carbon-ceramic brakes. No oil leaks are observable, the engine starts smoothly from cold or warm, and delivers stable oil pressure. During the recent major service at a Dutch specialist, the entire clutch was renewed, the steering rack refurbished, and all fluids renewed. The engine bay is fully equipped with carbon panels. There is an open sport exhaust system from Quicksilver installed; the original factory exhaust system is present and will be supplied with the car.

DOCUMENTS:

The car has demonstrable maintenance history. In addition, the two original keys, the plastic emergency key, and the documentation are included. The seller can assist foreign buyers with arranging the proper export documents.

It is recommended to view the vehicle before placing a bid to avoid disappointment later. To arrange an appointment, you can contact Catawiki. Bids are exclusive of transport and export, unless otherwise stated. Arranging transport, transfer of ownership, and any additional registration costs are the buyer’s responsibility.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
