With only about 9,000 miles (14,400 km) on the clock, it\u2019s a relatively low-mileage example that\u2019s undoubtedly one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2024\/05\/is-this-gated-manual-lamborghini-murcielago-worth-over-1-million\/\">better Murcielagos available<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2025\/05\/only-seven-of-these-v12-lambos-came-to-the-us\/\">Only Seven Of These V12 Lambos Came To The US<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/lamborghini-murcielago\/\">the Murcielago<\/a> can\u2019t be considered comfortable by modern standards, it does feature active dampers and a front-axle lift system, so it\u2019s not completely unusable.

Nonetheless, this engine was still good for 572 hp and 479 lb-ft (649 Nm) sent through all four wheels with a limited-slip differential at the rear. Driving any V12-powered car is special, but getting some seat time behind the wheel of one with a manual gearbox is something else entirely.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s little wonder then why this example is attracting so much attention, and it\u2019ll be interesting to see how much it sells for. A look at the window sticker shows it had an MSRP of $281,100 when it was new, which works out to be the equivalent of $490,000 in today\u2019s money.<\/p>\n<p>For those with pockets deep enough to make Scrooge McDuck jealous, you can check out the listing over <em><a href=\"https:\/\/bringatrailer.com\/listing\/2003-lamborghini-murcielago-25\/\">here <\/a><\/em>and place your bid on one of Lamborghini\u2019s finest creations.
