This drop-dead gorgeous 2008 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster is in pristine condition with fewer than 1,400 actual miles. Initially introduced to the American market in 2002, the Murcielago was Lamborghini’s flagship model until 2010, having replaced the outgoing Diablo and preceding the Aventador. The Murcielago was the first Lamborghini model to be produced under the tutelage of parent-company Audi, and it is regarded as a brilliant execution that merged Italian style with German engineering. The name Murcielago pays homage to a legendary fighting bull who survived 24 brutal sword strokes in the ring and was allowed to live at the end of the match at the bequest of the matador.
LP stands for the engine orientation: longitudinale posterior. The Murcielago radiates style and substance. The car stands less than 4 feet high and is just shy of 7 feet wide, giving it an ultra-low side profile and an exaggerated wide stance in comparison to its exotic competitors. The signature Lambo scissors doors and the protruding side air intakes along the rocker panels just ahead of the rear wheel arches add style to an already graceful shape. The car is powered by an all-aluminum 6.5L V-12 engine featuring dual overhead cams, 48 valves, fuel injection and dry-sump lubrication. This growling monster produces 631 HP, which translates to 640 under the European horsepower conversion.
Yes, the engine is the same in both markets, and no, 9 HP has not been lost in the American market; hence, the reason for its final designation of LP640. The Murcielago is a seriously fast car with a top speed of 205 MPH and a 0-60 MPH elapsed time of just 3.4 seconds. This car presents beautifully in triple black. The dark exterior is contrasted with silver 5-spoke Lamborghini wheels and yellow brake calipers, while the black diamond-quilt full-leather interior features red deviated stitching on the dash, seats and door panels. There’s nothing quite like a V-12 Lamborghini, and open air versions like this one are even more special.
