The Murciélago LP640 No. 3,000 was delivered to a private collector in South Florida in January, 2008, by Mr. Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Lamborghini, who personally made the trip to Florida to celebrate the delivery of this historic car.

This milestone is extremely significant to Lamborghini because production for the Murciélago's popular forerunner, the Diablo, reached a total of 2,903 cars during its 11-year history. This milestone Murciélago LP640, Serial Number 3,000, is a particularly outstanding car, loaded with every available factory option, including e-Gear. It is offered by the vendor with a copy of the window sticker also included, indicating an MSRP of US$419,892.00.

This milestone Murciélago LP640, serial number 3000, is a particularly outstanding car. Under the exterior of the Telesto Grey-colour carbon fibre body, the passenger compartment has been personalised with numerous special finishes available under Lamborghini’s exclusive Ad Personam programme. The base interior color will be black with custom orange stitching with the same colour scheme featured on the seats, instrument panel, centre console and the floor carpets.

The Ad Personam programme allows Lamborghini drivers to “think the impossible.” The personalization programme offers many options that allow the buyer to imprint his own personal style on the car. The Lamborghini designers in Sant’Agata Bolognese have developed several high-value personalized packages as part of the Ad Personam programme such as exquisite interior packages of leather or high tech carbon.

For the exterior, there is a wide choice of wheel rims, brake calipers and dimmed rear lights that offers still more personalisation potential. Within the limits established by current homologation regulations, Lamborghini can satisfy practically all of its customers’ personalization requests. There is only one limitation for the Ad Personam programme: the uncompromising standard of quality must be maintained at all times, by every Lamborghini department.
