About this car
The 2003 Lamborghini Murciélago 40th Anniversary Edition stands as a rare celebration of Lamborghini’s V12 heritage, with only 50 examples produced worldwide. Finished in the exclusive three-layer pearl-effect Verde Artemis exterior, this example is chassis number 13 of the limited run and has covered just 13,408 miles. Powered by a 6.2-liter V12 engine producing 580 horsepower and paired with a six-speed manual transmission driving all four wheels, it delivers a top speed of 205 mph.
Design updates specific to the Anniversary model include carbon-fiber body panels and exterior elements, aluminum scissor doors, a steel roof, xenon headlights, a pantograph-style single wiper, and active rear intakes that deploy for cooling. Anthracite grey wheels with silver-grey brake calipers, a revised exhaust system, and a commemorative numbered plaque visible through the rear window further distinguish it. Carbon-fiber trim accents the doors and B-pillars.
The asymmetrical interior features Grigio Syrius perforated leather on the driver’s side and smooth Nero leather on the passenger side, with grey-and-white leather throughout the cockpit. 40th Anniversary-branded floor mats, an Alpine CD player, and satellite navigation complete the cabin.

The Lamborghini Murciélago, produced from 2001 to 2010, is a flagship supercar that succeeded the Diablo and marked a new era under Volkswagen Group ownership. Approximately 4,099 units were built across various trims at Lamborghini’s Sant’Agata Bolognese facility, making it a relatively rare model compared to modern Lamborghini production runs. It debuted with a 6.2-liter V12 engine delivering 572 horsepower, later upgraded to a 6.5-liter V12 in models like the LP 640, producing up to 631 horsepower. Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of around 3.5 seconds and a top speed exceeding 211 mph in later variants.
For exotic car collectors, the Murciélago holds appeal due to its scarcity and historical significance as the first new Lamborghini design of the 21st century. Special editions, such as the LP 670-4 SuperVeloce (limited to 186 units), are particularly coveted for their enhanced performance and exclusivity. Value trends show steady appreciation, with well-maintained examples often fetching between $200,000 and $400,000, depending on condition and variant. Its iconic scissor doors, aggressive styling, and raw driving experience further cement its status as a collector’s item from Lamborghini’s modern lineage.
