Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV

The spec table does not tell the whole story: this is the only car in our 600-car catalogue that combines a V12 engine layout with MR drivetrain. The Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV sits in unusual territory, where its place in the collection is defined as much by configuration as by headline performance. Its 661 bhp places it 125th for power, within the top 21% of the catalogue, while its 3.3 second 0-100 km/h time is faster than 446 of the 600 cars. The numbers are strong, but the pattern behind them is what makes this car distinct.

The LP670-4 SV carries a 6.5 litre V12 with 660 Nm of torque, a combination that gives it a top speed ranking of 87th across the catalogue. Those figures place it among serious performance machines, yet its identity is not simply built around chasing the highest numbers. The rarity of its mechanical arrangement gives it a different kind of significance. With 90 of the 600 cars using a V12, but only one pairing that engine layout with MR, it occupies a narrow space in a collection built from hundreds of possibilities.

That individuality is reinforced by its production figure. A total of 186 were built, and among the 177 cars in the catalogue with known production counts, only 53 have lower figures. The LP670-4 SV therefore represents a defined point of rarity without needing exaggeration. It is also a substantial acquisition, with a used price of £550,000 placing it 78th by price, making it more expensive than 522 cars in the catalogue.

The car’s Italian origin adds another layer to its place in the collection. Italy accounts for 118 cars in the catalogue, while Lamborghini contributes 29, yet this model separates itself through its specific blend of V12 character, MR drivetrain and focused production figure. At £832 per bhp, it is not simply a calculation of output against cost, but a choice centred on a particular specification.

This is the car for the collector who wants a garage with a clear focal point, someone drawn to rare combinations rather than just the fastest result on paper. The Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV brings together a V12, MR layout and a production count that can be measured against the known figures in the collection. It occupies a precise place, and that precision is what makes it a compelling addition.
