Set to cross the auction block with RM Sotheby’s on August 25 and offered without reserve, this 2010 Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SV represents an exceptionally rare and historically significant specification of Lamborghini’s final-generation V-12 flagship. With only 7,906 kilometers—approximately 4,912 miles—from new, it combines extraordinary provenance with a configuration that may make it one of the most desirable modern Lamborghinis ever offered.
The Murciélago occupies a pivotal place in Lamborghini history. Although developed under Audi ownership, its character remained unmistakably Lamborghini, combining a dramatic Luc Donckerwolke-designed body with the company’s legendary naturally aspirated V-12. The 2006 LP 640 brought a larger 6.5-liter engine, 631 horsepower, and numerous mechanical and ergonomic improvements. Three years later, the LP 670-4 SuperVeloce took the platform to its ultimate form.
The SV shed approximately 100 kilograms while gaining 30 horsepower, thanks to revisions to its exhaust, ignition, and variable-valve-timing systems. Revised suspension, aerodynamics, and bodywork further sharpened its dynamic capability. The result was a power-to-weight ratio of approximately 422 horsepower per tonne, establishing the LP 670-4 SV as the most extreme and accomplished Murciélago variant.
Yet chassis 4015 stands apart even within the limited production run of roughly 300 examples. Its most remarkable attribute is its highly unusual Ad Personam specification. It is reportedly the only LP 670-4 SV finished in Marrone Eklipsis, a deep metallic brown associated with the final Diablo VT 6.0 SE. Inside, Marrone Janus Alcantara is paired with Avorio Lilium upholstery and Grigio Phoenix stitching, while LP 640 comfort seats replace the harder, more track-oriented carbon-shell seats.
The exterior specification is equally distinctive. Rather than the enormous Aeropack wing fitted to most SVs, this car features the rarely selected Low Drag Wing. Beyond its cleaner integration with the Murciélago’s silhouette, the option reportedly raised top speed from 209 to 212 mph.
Most importantly, chassis 4015 is one of only five known LP 670-4 SVs equipped with Lamborghini’s six-speed gated manual transmission, rather than the far more common E-Gear automated manual. It is believed to have been the final manual LP 670-4 SV to leave Sant’Agata Bolognese—and therefore the last manual V-12 Lamborghini ever produced.
That distinction gives this car significance far beyond its rarity. The Murciélago was created during Lamborghini’s transition from purely analog supercars toward increasingly electronic and electrified performance machinery. Its LP 670-4 SV represents the culmination of that era: naturally aspirated V-12 power, mechanical engagement, dramatic styling, and relatively little interference between driver and machine.
For collectors, chassis 4015 is therefore more than an exceptionally specified SuperVeloce. With its ultra-low mileage, unique color combination, rare Low Drag Wing, and almost impossibly scarce gated manual gearbox, it stands as a compelling candidate for the most significant modern Lamborghini to reach the market. It is the ultimate expression of the Murciélago—and arguably one of the last truly analog V-12 icons.
