With Lamborghini not expected to return to manual-transmission supercars any time soon, car collectors have a chance to purchase an ultra-rare 2010 LP 670-4 SuperVeloce Murciélago powered by a 6.5-litre V12 engine paired with a gated six-speed manual transmission, with fewer than 5,000 miles on the odometer.RM Sotheby's will auction the car starting today. It is the last manual Murciélago to leave the Sant'Agata Bolognese factory. Every V12 Lamborghini that followed, the Aventador and the Revuelto, came with automatic transmissions. Adding to the rarity of this Murciélago is the bespoke element connected to the car through Lamborghini's Ad Personam program, which allowed owners to tailor the options according to their preferences.The color of this particular Murciélago LP 670-4 SV is special. Finished in Marrone Eklipsis, it features a deep, lustrous shade of metallic brown. The shade pays tribute to the Lamborghini Diablo VT 6.0 SE, 21 of which were finished in Oro Elios, representing the dawn, and 21 in Marrone Eklipsis, representing the sunset. Also, this particular supercar was one of the few examples at the time to feature the low-drag wing that increased top speed from 209 mph to 212 mph.AdvertisementAdvertisementA new exhaust, ignition system, and variable valve timing freed up an additional 30 horsepower, while 100 kilograms were stripped from the kerb weight. Reworked suspension, aerodynamics, and bodywork added significantly more grip. The combined effect pushed the power-to-weight ratio from 379 to a ferocious 422 bhp per tonne. The SV name carries real weight at Lamborghini, having previously been worn only by the Miura SV and Diablo SV, both the definitive and most powerful expressions of their respective models. The LP 670-4 SV honored that lineage.Image Credit: Alex Penfold / RM Sotheby'sAlthough the 2006 LP 640 had already pushed the Murciélago forward with its 6.5-liter V12 and 631 horsepower, the model reached its peak with the LP 670-4 SuperVeloce, which raised output to 661 horsepower while shedding 100 kilograms. It was the most complete version of the Murciélago: sharper, more extreme, and yet somehow more polished too.Born before driver aids, turbocharging, and hybrid systems reshaped the trajectory of the car world, and refined under Audi's engineering oversight, the Murciélago truly stands as the last analogue Lamborghini. Considering the direction in which the car industry is headed, this could be one of the last truly raw supercars available.The LP 670-4 SV is the purest distillation of that legacy, and with landmark examples increasingly locked away in permanent collections, opportunities to acquire one are slowly vanishing.
