This 2008 LP640 Roadster pairs that dream with a sinister Nero finish and a professionally executed six-speed manual conversion. It is on Bring a Trailer at no reserve, bid to $575,000 with nine days to go, and the bidding is already fierce.2008 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 RoadsterBring a TrailerWhat it's worth right nowThe manual Murcielago market has gone stratospheric, and this car sits at the heart of that story. Factory-manual cars are near-priceless unicorns: according to Classic.com, the E-Gear LP640 Roadster has historically averaged around $329,000, while a factory-manual Roadster set a benchmark at $1,352,500. This car bridges those worlds through conversion rather than factory build.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe most useful anchors come from this car itself and its peers. It sold on Bring a Trailer for $425,000 as an E-Gear car in April 2026, after which the seller invested roughly $68,000 in a Royalty Exotic Cars manual conversion plus fresh tires and service. Commenters point to comparable recent results, a roughly 30,000-mile converted Roadster and a low-mileage E-Gear Roadster each bringing near $700,000, in a market that participants describe as having jumped sharply in just a few months.2008 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 RoadsterBring a TrailerWeighing this car's low mileage, desirable specification, and quality conversion against the fact that it is converted rather than factory-built, fair value realistically lands in the $650,000 to $800,000 range, most likely $700,000 to $775,000. At $575,000 with nine days remaining and no reserve, expect the bidding to climb well into that band.Condition and detailsThis is a beautifully presented, low-mileage example in a coveted specification. It wears Nero Aldebaran over Nero Perseus and Bianco Polar leather, with the Carbon Package, a Larini exhaust, 18-inch Hemera wheels, and full-body paint-protection film applied under current ownership. The mid-mounted 6.5-liter V12 makes 632 horsepower, driving all four wheels, and the June 2026 conversion by Royalty Exotic Cars replaced the E-Gear system with a proper gated six-speed manual, with an invoice in the gallery. That work included fresh driveline components, the pilot, throwout, torque-tube, and rear-differential bearings, alongside 2026 service covering the oil, coolant, injector cleaning, fuel filters, and engine mounts.2008 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 RoadsterBring a TrailerThe central thing to understand is that this is a converted manual, not a factory one. A quality conversion by a known shop commands a substantial premium over an E-Gear car and delivers the gated-shifter experience buyers crave, but it is a modification, so verify the quality and completeness of the work and understand that some purists distinguish converted cars from the ultra-rare factory manuals. On that note, the listing shows an August 2022 clutch reading of 89 percent, but that figure predates the conversion and reflects the old E-Gear clutch, so confirm exactly what clutch was installed during the manual swap and its current condition.2008 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 RoadsterBring a TrailerBeyond that, weigh the ownership realities. A Murcielago is extremely expensive to maintain and demands specialist care, so budget accordingly despite the reassuring recent service history, and note the minor older repairs disclosed from 2022, including the door struts, switchgear, air-conditioning components, and an airbag repair. A pre-purchase inspection by a Lamborghini specialist is essential.2008 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 RoadsterBring a TrailerAdvertisementAdvertisementThe offerSpecificationDetailMakeLamborghiniModelMurcielago LP640 RoadsterYear2008Mileage14,000 milesEngine6.5-liter V12Power632 hp and 487 lb.ft of torqueTransmission6-speed manual (converted)Drive typeAll-wheel drive with limited-slip rear differentialExterior colorNero AldebaranInterior colorNero Perseus and Bianco Polar leatherCurrent bid$575,000, no reserve, with nine days leftInterested in this 2008 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster? View the listing here.What makes the LP640 Roadster uniqueThe Murcielago holds a special place as the first Lamborghini developed under Audi ownership, pairing genuine German build quality with the wild, theatrical character expected of a V12 flagship. The LP640, introduced for 2006, sharpened the formula with an enlarged 6.5-liter V12, revised styling, and a more refined interior, and in Roadster form it added open-top drama with a removable soft top and the full scissor-door, deploying-intake spectacle. As one of the last mid-engine Lamborghini flagships before the Aventador ushered in a more digital era, it represents the end of a genuinely analog bloodline.2008 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 RoadsterBring a TrailerThe manual transmission is the crux of its collectibility. So few Murcielagos left the factory with the gated six-speed that they now command seven-figure sums, which has spawned a booming market for professional conversions like this one. Enthusiasts widely regard the gated manual Murcielago as one of the all-time great drivers' cars, an increasingly rare, tactile, V12 experience that no modern supercar can replicate.My takeThis is a genuinely intoxicating car, and the appeal is easy to understand. A naturally aspirated V12 Lamborghini flagship, open-topped, in menacing black, with a gated six-speed manual to row yourself, is about as pure and theatrical as the analog supercar era ever got. The seller's move, buying a clean E-Gear car and commissioning a proper conversion, has produced exactly the machine a certain kind of enthusiast dreams about, and the no-reserve format guarantees it changes hands.AdvertisementAdvertisementFair value sits in the $650,000 to $800,000 range, informed by recent comparable results near $700,000 and this car's low mileage and spec. Two cautions are worth stating plainly: this is a converted rather than factory manual, so confirm the quality of the conversion and the current clutch, and the market has surged rapidly, so buy it because you want to drive one of the last great analog V12s, not purely as an investment. Handle the diligence, get a specialist inspection, and you own a bucket-list Lamborghini in its most engaging form.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only.
