2008 Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640

This LP640, chassis #2698, is believed to be the lowest-mileage factory manual LP640 Coupe in North America. Originally built as a factory show car, it represents one of the final expressions of Lamborghini’s analog V12 era—before the gated manual vanished entirely from the lineup.

By the time the LP640 debuted in 2006, the Murciélago had already begun redefining the modern supercar. Introduced in 2001, it was the first all-new model developed under Audi ownership. The LP640 wasn’t just an update—it was a full-scale evolution. Crafted with a level of refinement that pushed the boundaries of what was possible without requiring rehomologation, the LP640 was, in essence, a reimagining of the Murciélago. Power rose to 640 PS (631 hp) from an enlarged 6.5-liter V12. Cooling systems, suspension, and gearbox internals were all upgraded. The design team revised the front and rear fascias, added asymmetrical side scoops for improved airflow, and redesigned the taillights and exhaust to optimize high-speed performance.

Chassis #2698 was ordered with a standout specification: Giallo Orion over a Nero Q-citura interior, factory carbon ceramic brakes, glass engine cover, Alcantara steering wheel, and full original paint. The wheels were swapped to black by the original owner shortly after delivery, though the car was delivered new with silver wheels.

Most LP640s were ordered with the E-Gear transmission, which had become the default by this stage of production. Manual gearbox cars—especially U.S.-delivered coupes—were exceptionally rare. Fewer than 30 are believed to have been built for the North American market in this configuration.

This example remains completely stock, down to its factory exhaust and trim. It was never modified or repainted. Its low mileage and show car provenance reinforce its position as one of the most complete surviving examples of the Murciélago LP640 manual Coupe.

Lamborghini would never build a car like this again. The LP640 combined raw displacement, naturally aspirated performance, and mechanical simplicity in a way that modern supercars no longer attempt. Chassis #2698 captures the end of that era—unfiltered, uncompromised, and built at a moment when Lamborghini was balancing heritage with a rapidly changing future.
