<h3 dir="ltr">The History of the Lamborghini Murciélago: An Iconic Supercar</h3>
When it comes to Lamborghini’s legacy of extraordinary supercars, the Murciélago stands out as a true masterpiece that embodied the brand’s relentless pursuit of performance, innovation, and unmistakable style. Launched in 2001, the Murciélago marked Lamborghini’s return to the high-performance supercar scene after the Diablo era, solidifying its place as one of the most iconic models in Lamborghini’s storied history.
<h3 dir="ltr">The Birth of a Legend</h3>
The Murciélago’s name is inspired by a famous Spanish bull, continuing Lamborghini’s tradition of naming cars after fierce fighters. It pays homage to a bull known for strength and resilience, embodying Lamborghini’s aggressive design and raw power.
Designed by Luc Donckerwolke, the Murciélago debuted with a bold, angular aesthetic and signature scissor doors that made it an instant head-turner. Its lightweight carbon fiber structure and advanced aerodynamics kept it glued to the road at high speeds.
<h3 dir="ltr">Power and Innovation</h3>
Initially powered by a 6.2-liter V12 producing 572 hp, the Murciélago could sprint to 60 mph in around 3.8 seconds, reaching over 200 mph—a record for its time. Over its production run, Lamborghini introduced upgrades like the 2006 LP 640 with 631 hp, and the LP 670-4 SV, a lightweight, track-focused version with 661 hp and all-wheel drive.
<h3 dir="ltr">The 40th Anniversary Edition</h3>
In 2003, Lamborghini celebrated its 40th anniversary with a very special edition of the Murciélago — the Limited 40th Anniversary Edition. Only 50 units were produced worldwide, making it an ultra-rare collector’s item. This edition was distinguished by its unique Verde Artemis (a signature green tone), carbon fiber exterior trim, exclusive wheels, and a special interior with unique leather touches. It also featured a numbered plaque on the rear window and a custom exhaust system, celebrating four decades of Lamborghini’s relentless spirit.
<h3 dir="ltr">The End of an Era, but the Legend Continues</h3>
Production of the Murciélago ended in 2010, but its influence endures. Its blend of brutal power, edgy design, and exotic appeal made it a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts worldwide. Today, the Murciélago remains a symbol of Lamborghini’s DNA: bold, aggressive, and uncompromising.
<h3 dir="ltr">Showcasing Murcielagos Today</h3>
We’re proud to feature several Murciélagos from our dealer network, including the rare 40th Anniversary Edition and Murciélago SV. Whether seeking a well-maintained classic or a low-mileage collector’s gem, the Murciélago continues to captivate with its ferocity and timeless style.

The History of the Lamborghini Murciélago: An Iconic Supercar

Lewis Hamilton’s Shift from Cars to Art—and His Dream of an Iconic Ferrari F40 Lewis Hamilton, the legendary seven-time Formula 1 World Champion, has recently made headlines with a significant lifestyle change: he’s sold his entire car collection to focus more on his passion for art. Once celebrated for his impressive garage filled with rare, high-performance vehicles—including a Pagani Zonda 760 LH, Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1, and even a 1995 McLaren F1—the British racing icon’s automotive chapter seems to have closed, at least for now.
 
Hamilton revealed that he no longer owns any cars, emphasizing his current interest in collecting art, which he considers more meaningful and lasting. However, despite his shift away from car collecting, he still harbors a deep admiration for one iconic Italian supercar: the Ferrari F40. This legendary machine, celebrated worldwide as a symbol of raw speed and design excellence, remains a dream car for him.
 
During recent interviews ahead of the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Hamilton was asked about his interest in future car acquisitions. His reply was telling: “I don't have any cars anymore... but if I was going to get a car, it would be the F40. But that’s a beautiful piece of art.” For Hamilton, the F40 isn’t just a supercar; it’s a piece of history and a work of art, embodying the perfect balance between engineering mastery and aesthetic brilliance. <img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://d2l6r91nnee1so.cloudfront.net/media/Blog_Lewis_Hamilton_1920x1080_01_697f2eff06.jpg" alt="Blog_Lewis Hamilton_1920x1080_01.jpg"> 
 
Throughout his racing career, Hamilton’s love for automobiles extended beyond just ownership—he’s been seen driving some of the most exclusive and legendary vehicles. Before selling his collection, he was reported to have owned a selection of irresistible machines valued at around $17.5 million, housed in his private garages in Monaco and Los Angeles. While his full collection has never been officially confirmed, these are the cars he's been spotted driving or has previously acknowledged owning:
 
- Pagani Zonda 760 LH  
- Mercedes-AMG Project One  
- Mercedes-AMG SLS Black Series  
- Mercedes-AMG GT R (F1 safety car spec)  
- Mercedes-AMG G63 6×6  
- Mercedes-Maybach S600  
- Ferrari LaFerrari  
- Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta  
- Ferrari 599 SA Aperta  
- 1966 Shelby Cobra 427  
- 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 (“Eleanor” replica)  
- McLaren P1  
- 1995 McLaren F1 (chassis 044)  
- Mini Cooper  
- Mercedes EQC  
  Interestingly, Hamilton’s true passion is motorcycles. He's often seen arriving at races on Italian superbikes such as his Ducati Panigale V4 S and a limited-edition MV Agusta F4 LH44, crafted in collaboration with the Italian manufacturer. Yet, despite his extensive collection of exceptional cars, Hamilton’s ultimate automotive dream remains the Ferrari F40. He’s even expressed a desire to design his own car, envisioned as an “F44”—a modern homage to the iconic F40, with a stick-shift gearbox and a focus on driving purity, which he plans to pursue in the coming years. 
<img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://d2l6r91nnee1so.cloudfront.net/media/Blog_Lewis_Hamilton_1920x1080_03_1e97430c4d.jpg" alt="Blog_Lewis Hamilton_1920x1080_03.jpg">
 Hamilton’s evolving relationship with vehicles reflects his journey from adrenaline junkie to art aficionado. Even though he has stepped back from collecting cars, his admiration for the Ferrari F40 endures as a symbol of automotive artistry and engineering brilliance. Whether he will ever own one remains to be seen, but his passion for the classic Italian supercar is as strong as ever—proof that for him, some of the greatest machines are truly works of art.

Unlike anything in the automotive world, the Brouillard is a one-of-a-kind, fully bespoke hypercar inspired by Ettore Bugatti’s personal love of horses.

<img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdsI-l6QtfVIrkwNyjLG4puliPQJS7pT9di89bxKfpjSXW1ZuvSWyDj5DAlGsL8ehlX2KITDUPcr4C_wxUL21W7wAp2DumATnWZcQ5sXjEN_DPfHpbimU9kVKLu03F7AnQPuAoI?key=QgnrXQtx78_YF5TNSsDyhw"> The 2025 Monterey Car Week highlighted the continued dominance of Ferrari in the collector car market. The auction saw total sales reaching a staggering $432.8 million, making it the second-highest event ever, second only to 2022. Ferrari led the pack with eight out of the top ten sales, cementing its status as the most coveted brand among collectors. Notable sales included the iconic Ferrari Daytona SP3 charity lot, which sold for an incredible $26 million, making it the most expensive new Ferrari ever sold at auction. Other standout moments involved record-breaking prices for vintage Ferraris such as the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider, which fetched over $25 million, and the 1993 Ferrari F40 LM, which sold for over $11 million. Modern supercars also captured attention, with a 2020 Bugatti Divo reaching over $8.5 million, underlining the growing appetite for ultra-rare, high-performance vehicles. Overall, the market displayed a preference for both vintage icons and modern exclusives, with Ferrari remaining at the forefront, firmly reinforcing its legendary status in the collector car world.
Among the headliners:
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
The Ferrari Daytona SP3 "Tailor Made" just sold for a staggering $26 million at RM Sotheby’s Monterey Auction, making it the most expensive new Ferrari ever sold at auction and one of the top 15 most valuable cars ever auctioned. This one-off hypercar, built in a limited edition of just 599 units, features a striking two-tone Giallo Modena and exposed carbon fiber exterior, inspired by legendary Ferrari race cars. Its naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine delivers 829 horsepower, allowing it to accelerate from 0-60 mph in under three seconds and top out at 211 mph. Crafted as a charity auction lot, all proceeds will benefit the Ferrari Foundation, supporting global educational initiatives. 
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider, which sold for an eye-watering $25.3 million. Known as the “Cal Spider,” this rare, highly sought-after model is one of only around 100 ever built, making it a legend among collectors. Its short wheelbase and closed-headlight design make it more desirable and visually striking than its LWB counterparts, while its lightweight alloy bodywork and competition-spec engine—developed with high-performance upgrades—add to its exclusivity and value. Originally raced across Europe by Ernst Lautenschlager, this iconic Ferrari has a rich history and a perfect blend of rarity, style, and performance. Its record-breaking sale not only set a new high for California Spiders but also reaffirmed Ferrari’s dominance at the top of the auction market, maintaining its reputation as the most collectible brand in the world of classic cars.

Highlights from Pebble Beach, Monterey Car Week, and Concours d’Elegance 2025

<h3 dir="ltr">Unveiling the Bugatti Brouillard</h3>
As Monterey Car Week reaches its dazzling crescendo, the automotive world stands in awe of Bugatti’s latest creation—a one-off masterpiece that exemplifies the zenith of bespoke craftsmanship and artistic vision. The Bugatti Brouillard, born out of the brand’s newly launched Programme Solitaire, not only celebrates the storied legacy of Ettore Bugatti but also pushes the boundaries of automotive personalization into uncharted territory.
<h4 dir="ltr">A Rich Heritage of Coachbuilding Excellence</h4>
For over a century, Bugatti has been synonymous with the art of coachbuilding. From the elegant curves of Jean Bugatti’s visionary designs to the sculptural brilliance of Rembrandt Bugatti’s bronze sculptures, the marque has consistently embodied the pursuit of automotive artistry. Today, Bugatti continues this tradition through Programme Solitaire—a division dedicated solely to creating pure, one-of-a-kind vehicles that serve as personal masterpieces for the most discerning collectors. 
<h4 dir="ltr">The Genesis of Brouillard: Heritage and Innovation</h4>
The Brouillard, named after Ettore Bugatti’s favorite horse, is more than a car; it’s a tribute to the founder’s lifelong passion for horses and equestrian elegance. Built on the platform of the Mistral, the final Bugatti to be powered by the legendary W16 engine, this coupe marks a historic milestone. It’s poised to become one of the most expensive Bugattis ever built, representing the culmination of two decades of engineering mastery.
This vehicle is a true blank canvas—created from scratch with no panels shared with the Mistral—and is destined to redefine bespoke automotive luxury. The car’s design eschews aggressive sharp lines, favoring instead smooth, reflection-oriented surfaces that evoke the powerful musculature of a trained steed. The body is cloaked in a mossy matte green complemented by exposed carbon fiber accents and a fixed rear ducktail wing, emphasizing artistic form over functional aerodynamics.
<h4 dir="ltr">An Interior Refined in Artistic Detail</h4>
Inside, the Brouillard exudes bespoke craftsmanship at every turn. The cabin features light olive green leather upholstery, paired with custom-woven tartan fabric from Paris, decorating seats and door panels with a subtle nod to its equestrian inspiration. The glass roof provides an almost cathedral-like ambiance—flooded with natural light—while detailed embroidery and a uniquely crafted gear shifter, with a hand-sculpted figure of Brouillard, celebrate Ettore Bugatti’s love for horses. Every detail has been meticulously designed to ensure a seamless harmony between exterior sculpture and internal sanctuary. <img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfw7YHp-u7wrShiwwafm8NB02kTR3904grKGmlQgWXIB838XPXoZxU4TMtvJV-Gr2UYt08sl9GaDSob-qIJ1l1ViMDnlLX0pxNeFNqA2cKYDwrhw35nlfHQDfn2cYH0molF5VB5XA?key=oPT-QDzOGT6Sxgon-H19yw">
<h4 dir="ltr">Power and Performance: The Final Hurrah for W16</h4>
Beneath its artful exterior lies the iconic W16 engine—an engineering marvel capable of delivering 1,578 horsepower. Despite its focus on craftsmanship and design, the Brouillard possesses staggering performance credentials, capable of catapulting from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.4 seconds and surpassing 260 mph. It’s a fitting finale to the legacy of Bugatti’s W16 engine, symbolizing the ultimate in hypercar performance and engineering finesse.
<h4 dir="ltr">A Purposeful Rarity</h4>
Bugatti plans to produce only two Solitaire vehicles each year, underscoring its commitment to creating genuinely unique, handcrafted masterpieces. The Brouillard will debut amidst the many highlights of Monterey Car Week, a gathering of the world’s most extraordinary automobiles. Its owner remains private, described as an exceptionally passionate collector—not only of cars but of rare art and furniture, echoing Ettore Bugatti’s own appreciation for craftsmanship and artistry.
While the price remains undisclosed, industry experts estimate that the Brouillard will set new records for the marque—potentially surpassing the $12 million mark—making it possibly the most costly new Bugatti to date. <img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeAm896IYlDawEcp1tBwo24mEjq7vOZyaxNm7AyVtLRKYSIc-2jXKg5o0XuK8diWXjOFjna3sRg1uPzZLZ4siYMs_nrVfUwDoR1H8Tb0pEJBQngE1bivPo_ZeuZIq4DS5halRw2tg?key=oPT-QDzOGT6Sxgon-H19yw">
<h4 dir="ltr">The Legacy Continues</h4>
The Bugatti Brouillard is more than a vehicle; it’s a celebration of a century-old craft, embodying the perfect union of artistry, engineering, and exclusivity. It encapsulates Bugatti’s unyielding dedication to bespoke excellence, elevating the concept of automotive haute couture into a realm where art and performance are inseparable.
As Monterey Car Week unfolds, the world is reminded of the enduring soul of automotive craftsmanship—an art form that Bugatti continues to perfect. The Brouillard stands as a shimmering testament to the boundless potential of coachbuilding, where each curve, each stitch, and each engine revolution tell a story of passion, history, and relentless innovation.
