The supercar sports a striking Verde Hydra green finish and has 35,000 miles on the odometer
About 15 years ago, I saw a blacked-out Ferrari 575 cruise through Melbourne with six tailpipes—easily one of the strangest exhaust setups I’d ever witnessed. Until now.
This 2004 Lamborghini Murcielago, currently for sale in the U.S., might just top it. Not only is its exhaust configuration bizarre, but it also gives the car a frog-like appearance that feels completely at odds with the rest of the sleek supercar design. It’s so weird, I can’t stop staring at it.
Old Murcielagos are enjoying a bit of a comeback lately. This was the final Lamborghini V12 to offer a six-speed manual transmission before the Aventador and Revuelto went fully paddle-shift. When the Murcielago launched, the single-clutch e-gear system got most of the hype—but now it’s the gated manuals collectors are after.
This particular car is a pre-facelift model with just over 35,000 miles (~56,000 km) on the odometer and is currently listed for sale in California on Bring a Trailer. The seller picked it up in 2020 and has only added about 2,000 miles (~3,200 km) since. Aside from the oddball aftermarket exhaust, it looks absolutely stunning.
It wears a rare and eye-catching shade of dark green known as Verde Hydra—one of Lamborghini’s more elegant paint options. The car rides on its original 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero Rosso tires.
Step inside and the real highlight is the iconic gated shifter, though the cream-colored leather interior is just as impressive. The seats, transmission tunnel, door panels, and lower dashboard are all wrapped in this rich material. There’s an aftermarket Pioneer head unit, but let’s be honest—no stereo can compete with the sound of the 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V12 just behind your head.
