The Manual V12 Murciélago Phenomenon Among Collectors – Why Does Everyone Want One?
Analog supercars are going extinct, and the Lamborghini manual V12 Murciélago is the last of its kind. Its naturally aspirated V12 engine up to 6.5 liters and the manual transmission with its iconic “gated shifter” turn any Murciélago like this into a global object of desire – and this fuels the new price surge.
Those paying attention to recent auctions have seen manual models sell for over $400,000 and record values exceeding $580,000 for Roadster examples. The appreciation is higher than many electric or hybrid sports cars – a phenomenon that highlights the search for the pure pleasure of driving.
Technically, the Murciélago combines brutal power of up to 670 hp in the SV versions, carbon fiber structure, permanent all-wheel drive, and acceleration from 0 to 62 mph in under 3.5 seconds. The details of this unit are even more exclusive: original paint, exclusive leather interior, analog instrument cluster, and impeccable service history. While the external look is sober, inside everything is passion for detail – the manual transmission and Rosso Centaurus leather define its character.
With competitors like the Ferrari 599, Aston Martin Vanquish, and Lexus LFA also using V12 engines, only Lamborghini offers this package with a factory manual option, which raises its status as a worldwide coveted collectible legend.

Manual V12 Murciélago vs. Direct Competitors
- Ferrari 599 GTB (Automated): less driver involvement
- Lexus LFA: V10, not V12, and rarity with a different feel
- Aston Martin Vanquish: V12, but manual transmission less sought after
- Porsche Carrera GT: high appreciation, but V10 engine
In the current context – dominated by electric cars, hybrid SUVs, and full automation – the Murciélago manual’s “gated shifter” represents an extinct art. Collectors, investors, and enthusiasts know that the manual V12 survives as the ultimate symbol of emotional driving.
This market movement is a global reflection. No matter the continent: those who have a boxed manual V12 Murciélago with low mileage today might consider the perfect moment to part ways with the car for sums that rival luxury real estate. Many bet that the record appreciation is still far from its limit.
And if you enjoy the classic supercar value rise scenario, it’s also worth getting to know the Aston Martin Vanquish as another V12 icon or analyzing the performance of the Ferrari 296 Speciale among modern hybrids.
