2007 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Factory Gated 6-Speed Manual

Few modern Lamborghinis capture the raw theater, mechanical character, and unmistakable presence of the Murcielago LP640. Finished in spectacular Giallo Orion over a dramatic Nero Perseus and Giallo leather interior, this 2007 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 shows 41,745 miles and offers one of the most desirable configurations of Lamborghini's legendary V12 flagship: a factory 6-speed gated manual transmission.

The LP640 represented a substantial evolution of the Murcielago platform. Its naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 produces approximately 632 horsepower, sending power through Lamborghini's permanent all-wheel-drive system. Period performance figures placed acceleration from 0-62 mph at approximately 3.4 seconds, with a top speed approaching 211 mph.

More important than the numbers is the experience. The combination of a naturally aspirated V12, traditional clutch pedal, exposed polished-metal shift gate, hydraulic steering, and Lamborghini's unmistakable mechanical soundtrack delivers the type of driver involvement that has largely disappeared from modern supercars.

An Exceptionally Rare Factory Gated-Manual LP640

The defining feature of this Murcielago is its factory 6-speed gated manual transmission. Manual-transmission LP640s represent only a tiny portion of total Murcielago production, with this example reported as one of only 26 factory gated-manual LP640 Coupes delivered to the United States.

That scarcity has made genuine factory-manual Murcielagos increasingly desirable among collectors and Lamborghini enthusiasts. Unlike later conversions, this LP640 was configured from new with Lamborghini's iconic exposed shift gate, preserving the authentic analog experience associated with the great V12 Lamborghinis that preceded it.

The Last of the Analog V12 Lamborghini Flagships

The Murcielago occupies an important place in Lamborghini history. Introduced as the successor to the Diablo, it carried Lamborghini's traditional mid-engine V12 formula into the modern era while retaining much of the mechanical character that made earlier Lamborghini flagships legendary.

The Murcielago would ultimately become the final Lamborghini V12 flagship available from the factory with a traditional manual transmission, as its successor, the Aventador, transitioned exclusively to automated shifting.

Its proportions remain unmistakable: a low roofline, massive rear shoulders, signature upward-opening scissor doors, dramatic side intakes, and active rear cooling apertures that rise automatically when additional airflow is required. Nearly two decades after its introduction, the LP640 continues to possess extraordinary road presence.

Giallo Orion Iconic Lamborghini Presence

The brilliant Giallo Orion exterior emphasizes every dramatic surface of the Murcielago's wedge-shaped design, while the contrasting Nero Perseus and Giallo interior carries the exterior theme into the cockpit.

The color combination, naturally aspirated V12, factory gated manual, and unmistakable scissor-door silhouette create a specification that embodies what many enthusiasts consider the essential Lamborghini experience.

Unlike ultra-low-mile examples that have spent much of their lives in static collections, its 41,745 miles reflect a Murcielago that has actually been driven and experienced exactly as Lamborghini's naturally aspirated V12 flagship was intended.
