Lamborghini Murcielago

The Lamborghini Murciélago arrived in 2001 as the successor to the Diablo and the brand's first new model under Audi ownership. Designed by Luc Donckerwolke, it retained Lamborghini's signature V12 engine and scissor doors but wrapped them in a more modern, angular package. Initially launching with a 6.2-liter V12 producing 572 horsepower, the lineup later expanded to include the more powerful LP640, the Roadster, and the track-focused LP670-4 SuperVeloce.

Collectors prize the Murciélago as the last of its kind. It's the final V12 Lamborghini offered with a traditional gated manual transmission, bridging the analog era of the Diablo with the more technologically advanced Aventador. Gated manual cars, particularly the later LP640 and ultra-rare LP670-4 SV, command huge premiums and represent the pinnacle of modern analog supercar collecting.

The market for the Murciélago is strong, with average values sitting at $323,640. The chasm between E-gear and gated manual cars is significant, with the best manual examples pushing the top of the market toward $900,000. While early E-gear cars are the most accessible entry point, they've also seen steady appreciation as the model's status grows.

Prices range from $48,000 for early E-gear cars to $900,000 for top-spec manual variants.
