2004 LAMBORGHINI MURCIELAGO - $499999

 

The Murcielago was Lamborghini’s flagship V12 performance model from 2001 to 2010,
following on from the great success of the revered Diablo. With its all-wheel drive system and
mid-mounted 6.2 litre V12, the Murcielago quickly became a favourite amongst enthusiasts,
particularly those who opted for the gated 6-speed manual transmission. Following the iconic
Coupe body style, the ‘Roadster’ was introduced in 2004 providing an open-top driving
experience for those who yearned it. The introduction of the Variable Airflow Cooling System
via the twin ‘wing-like’ active intakes provided dynamic cooling to the large V12, but also
added to the already aggressive styling. The Murcielago would continue it’s run with the
introduction of the ‘LP640’ in 2006 and the ‘LP670-4 SuperVeloce’ in 2009.

This particular example is a Lamborghini Murcielago Coupe, leaving the Sant’Agata
Bolognese manufacturing facility in a menacing shade of ‘Nero Pegaso’. The sophisticated
Murcielago body styling is aggressive yet restrained following a simple, low-slung body profile
from front to back. The active aero remains hidden, while a series of pronounced ducts for
engine and brake cooling appear on the front bumper, side skirts and ‘shoulders’. The iconic
‘scissor doors’ are a popular feature on the Murcielago and remain an item reserved for
Lamborghini’s V12 flagship models. To complete the exterior, this Murcielago features
staggered black Speedline wheels.

The interior is deliberately pared back and driver focused, while being surrounded by supple
leather and silver highlights to the ‘sport’ and traction control surround and E-Gear paddle
shifters. The ‘Nero’ leather ‘F1-like’ bolstered seats and seating position exemplifies true
supercar pedigree. While the early 2000’s digital dash may seem rudimentary by today’s
standards, it epitomises Lamborghini’s forefront thinking for developing performance cars
ahead of its time.

The iconic V12 howl is synonymous with Lamborghini’s of yesteryear, but the Murcielago V12
denoted the marquees first V12 engine of the new millennium. This Murcielago has equipped
the longitudinally, mid-mounted 6.2 Litre V12 which sounds just as good as it performs.
Producing north of 500hp and a 300+ km/h top speed, the power is controlled via an E-Gear
automatic transmission. Power is put down to the ground via a strong all-wheel drive system.

 

Murcielago’s are scarce, especially a nero-over-nero example! Take the opportunity to secure
this rare, low kilometre Murcielago!
