Key Points: 354 Miles From New, Numbered Murciélago Launch Book, Special Order Leather Interior Design Inspired By The 40th Anniversary Edition.
The 2005 Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster is an open-top, mid-engine supercar that blends aggressive Italian styling with advanced engineering under Audi’s ownership. Penned by designer Luc Donckerwolke, the vehicle features a structural chassis heavily reinforced with steel tubing and carbon fibre components to maintain torsional stiffness without a fixed roof. Its distinctive exterior is defined by the iconic upward-opening scissor doors, a low-slung windshield angle, and an asymmetric rear engine cover design inspired by stealth aviation and modern architecture.
At the heart of the Murciélago Roadster is a naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V12 engine producing 580hp at 7,500rpm and 479lb-ft of torque at 5,400rpm. Power is distributed through a permanent all-wheel-drive system utilizing a central viscous coupling, allocating 70% of the torque to the rear wheels and 30% to the front under standard driving conditions. This mechanical setup allows the supercar to accelerate from 0 to 62mph in 3.8 seconds before achieving a blistering top speed of 205mph, making its on-track performance virtually identical to its coupé counterpart.
The standard mechanical equipment package features a six-speed gated manual transmission, though buyers could opt for the "E-gear" six-speed single-clutch automated manual system. Handling and drivability are managed by a four-wheel independent double-wishbone suspension equipped with an electronic front-axle lift system that raises the front nose by 45mm for navigating steep inclines. The car grips the tarmac using 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, which are supported by high-performance multi-piston braking callipers and electromechanically controlled active rear spoilers that automatically deploy from the car's shoulders at high speeds to optimize cooling and aerodynamics.
For weather protection, the vehicle includes a soft-top known as the ‘R-top’, which is stored in a leather bag inside the front luggage compartment and carries a manufacturer-recommended speed limit of 100mph when installed. Inside the driver-centric two-seat cockpit, standard equipment consists of full premium leather upholstery, automatic climate control, electric windows, an electrochromic rearview mirror, and a factory Lamborghini-branded CD stereo system. Safety and driver assistance tech are kept pure and minimal, restricted to dual front airbags and a switchable traction control system.
