The Rarest of the Rares in America
The Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 occupies a unique space in modern supercar history. Introduced at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show as the first major update under Audi ownership, it combined the raw character of Lamborghini’s earlier flagships with improved refinement and performance.
As the flagship predecessor of the Aventador and Revuelto, it’s powered by a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 producing 640 horsepower and paired to all-wheel drive, it could sprint from 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 211 mph.
While many LP640s were built between 2006 and 2010, very few were fitted with the six-speed gated manual transmission – just 179 worldwide. For the US market, that number shrinks to only 26 coupes.
These manual-equipped cars have become some of the most desirable modern Lamborghinis. And, as it happens, one turns up for sale on duPont Registry.
This 2007 example is one of those 26 US-specification manual coupes. Adding to its appeal, it has covered only 8,310 miles from new, placing it among the lowest-mileage gated Murciélagos available today.

The Car in Detail
Finished in Nero Aldebaran over Nero Perseus leather, the LP640’s stealthy look highlights the angular design that defined Lamborghini’s early-2000s aesthetic.
Inside, the cabin features the optional Q-Citura diamond-stitch leather, with the gated shifter as the centerpiece. The exposed metal shift gate and mechanical feel have become symbols of an era when driver involvement was central to the experience.
The LP640 update brought subtle but functional changes over the original Murciélago, including revised bumpers, larger air intakes, and a single center-mounted exhaust. The aerodynamic refinements, combined with the uprated 640-horsepower V12, offered both improved performance and a more aggressive stance.
The all-wheel-drive system ensured the power was delivered with confidence, while the naturally aspirated character of the engine provided an immediacy and sound that modern turbocharged or hybrid V12s no longer replicate.
This particular example has been well maintained, showing excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition thanks to recent servicing and careful ownership. The paint retains its depth, and the interior shows minimal wear for its age.

And Then, There’s the Matter of Price
This 2007 Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 gated manual coupe is listed for sale on duPont Registry at a staggering price of $1,975,499. That figure places it well above the $250,000-$400,000 range typical for E-Gear–equipped LP640s, reflecting both its rarity and the growing demand for manual V12 Lamborghinis.
Too pricey, you might say, but to a collector, money is no object. With only 26 examples in this specification originally delivered to the US, and just 8,310 miles on the odometer, it sits in a small pool of top-condition cars that rarely surface.
