A Diablo, a Countach, and two Murcielagos: Four rare, nearly new Lamborghinis will go up for auction for more than $6 million

Every year, Monterey Car Week attracts the world’s leading collectors. But in August 2026, one lot is likely to capture the full attention of enthusiasts of Lamborghini. Four exceptional models, brought together by the American specialist Curated in partnership with RM Sotheby’s, will be offered at the prestigious Monterey auction. Their combined estimate already exceeds $6 million… and the final result could be even higher.

A few days before the event, Curated had actually offered a sneak peek at this initiative in a video filmed at its Miami showroom, where its founders mentioned several «revolutionary Lamborghinis» headed for Monterey.

Four Lamborghinis that tell the brand's story

Rather than focusing on the latest models, Curated has chosen to tell the story of nearly thirty years of Lamborghini history through four cars, each representing a pivotal era: Countach, Diablo and two Murciélagos that are particularly sought after.

The centerpiece is undoubtedly this 1979 Countach LP400 S Series I, estimated at between $2.2 million and $2.6 million. Only 50 examples of this first series were built, but this one takes it a step further. It has just 1,803 km on the odometer and retains its original paint, interior, and even tires. According to RM Sotheby’s, it is likely the best-preserved example in the world. Having remained virtually unseen for decades, this Countach is a true testament to Sant’Agata’s golden age.

Next to it, a 1991 Diablo evokes the 1990s. Estimated at between $550,000 and $700,000, it is one of only six hardtop Diablos produced in Bianco white with a Champagne interior. Its odometer reads just 1,349 km, and it also retains its original paint and interior, making it a true time capsule.

Two Murciélagos That Are Nowhere to Be Found

Both Murciélago The pieces selected for this sale perfectly illustrate why this model is currently on the rise in the collectors' market.

The first is a 2010 Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce, estimated at between $1.75 million and $2.25 million. Already extremely rare—with production reportedly totaling only about 165 units instead of the 350 originally planned—this SV boasts even more exclusive features. It has had only one owner since new, has just 791 miles on the odometer, and features Nero Aldebaran paint—a finish reportedly applied to only eight U.S. models—as well as the discreet «low wing» rear spoiler chosen by just three U.S. customers. RM Sotheby’s describes it as a true «ghost,» as this car has remained out of the public eye for more than a decade.

The second is the Murciélago 40th Anniversary, produced in 2003 to celebrate Lamborghini’s 40th anniversary. Only 50 were built, all painted in the spectacular pearlescent Verde Artemis. The one on offer in Monterey is number 50 of 50, one of 19 destined for the North American market. It has only covered about 6,700 miles and was owned for nearly twenty years by the president of Lamborghini Toronto. Under the hood is the naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V12 paired with the highly sought-after six-speed manual transmission.

More than $6 million… even before the first gavel fell

If you simply add up the low estimates, these four Lamborghinis are already worth $5.35 million. With the high estimates, the total comes to $6.75 million. dollars.

But recent history shows that the rarest Lamborghinis regularly exceed their estimates when they have low mileage, exceptional specifications, and an impeccable history. And these four cars happen to possess all of these qualities.

For Curated, this sale also serves as an exceptional showcase. In recent years, the American specialist has established itself as one of the world’s leading authorities on historic Lamborghinis, seeking out exclusively extremely original examples with low mileage that are often unknown to the market. In its recent video, the team explained that it is constantly on the hunt for these «ghost cars,» which in some cases have never been publicly offered for sale since their original delivery.

The verdict will be announced August 13–15 during Monterey Car Week. One thing already seems certain: seeing a Countach Series I, a nearly new Diablo, and two of the world’s most desirable Murciélagos all together in a single auction will remain a particularly rare event, even for regulars at the biggest car auctions.
