A rare 2010 Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SV with a 6-speed gated manual transmission is being offered through RM Sotheby’s, giving collectors an opportunity to acquire one of only five known Murciélago LP 670-4 SVs fitted with a stick shift. Chassis 4015 is believed to be the last of those examples to leave the assembly line.
A Rare Final Chapter for Lamborghini’s V12 Manual
The Murciélago LP 670-4 SV represents the most extreme version of the nameplate, much like the Aventador SVJ that followed it. The supercar is powered by a 6.5-liter Bizzarrini-derived V12 producing 661 horsepower, with an additional 30 hp coming from a new exhaust, ignition system and variable valve timing.
That power is delivered to all four wheels through a 6-speed gated manual transmission. While the Gallardo was Lamborghini’s final model offered with a stick shift, Chassis 4015 is believed to be the brand’s last V12-powered model built with a manual transmission.
Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann recently said the development of another model with a clutch pedal is not currently a priority, stating, “For me, this is something which is not on our priority list, because we have a lot in the pipeline.”
Unique Ad Personam Specification
Chassis 4015 is finished in Ad Personam Marrone Eklipsis, making it the only LP 670-4 SV painted in that color. The shade pays homage to the Diablo VT 6.0 SE.
The car is also one of only a handful equipped with the low drag wing, which increased its top speed from 209 mph to 212 mph. Inside, LP640-specification “comfort” seats provide a cabin configuration better suited to everyday driving.
The seats are finished in Ad Personam Avorio Lilium with Grigio Phoenix stitching, complementing the Marrone Janus Alcantara throughout the cabin.
RM Sotheby’s Auction Ends August 26
The 2010 Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SV had 7,906 kilometers, or about 4,912 miles, on its odometer when cataloged. Bidding for the car through RM Sotheby’s will end on August 26.
For prospective U.S. buyers, however, the car comes with an important restriction. Chassis 4015 is currently located in Blenheim, Ontario, and was built to European specifications.
Because of that specification, the Lamborghini does not comply with applicable U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Environmental Protection Agency emissions requirements. It therefore cannot currently be legally imported into or registered in the U.S. and will not qualify for the 25-year import exemption for approximately another 10 years.
Despite that limitation, Chassis 4015 stands out as one of only five known Murciélago LP 670-4 SVs equipped with a stick shift and is believed to be the last example of its kind to leave Lamborghini’s assembly line.
