Which Lamborghini Are You Driving Home from Villa d’Este?

Broad Arrow Auctions is offering six of the rarest Lamborghinis at their Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este sale on 16 May. From the Anniversary Countach to the greatest Diablos and Murciélagos to the Countach LPI 800-4 — which one would you like to drive home from Lake Como?

 

2001 Diablo VT 6.0

The Lamborghini Diablo VT 6.0 served as a bridge between the raw drama of the original model and the elevated quality standards introduced under Audi ownership. Delivering 550 horsepower from its 6.0-liter V12 and featuring a refined interior, this 2001 example reached the pinnacle of the line. It was originally purchased by French Formula 1 driver Olivier Panis and remained in his care until 2014. Finished in Grigio Iris over color-coordinated leather, the car has covered just 20,790 kilometers and is expected to fetch between 400,000 and 500,000 Euros.

1990 Countach 25th Anniversary edition

To celebrate a quarter-century of production, Lamborghini introduced the Countach 25th Anniversary edition in 1988. This special series, limited to 657 units, featured over 500 aesthetic and interior refinements executed by a young Horacio Pagani. While the 455 horsepower output remained consistent with its predecessor, improved aerodynamics allowed for a faster sprint to 100 km/h. The example on offer is finished in Rosso Siviglia with a Champagne leather interior and has remained in Italy its entire life. With 22,616 kilometers and a Polo Storico certificate of authenticity, it carries an estimate of 500,000 to 600,000 Euros.

2008 Murciélago LP640-4 Roadster

The Murciélago LP640-4 Roadster represents a rare open-top experience, being one of only 183 units built in 2008. This particular car, finished in Bianco Iris with a matching white leather interior, was delivered through Lamborghini St. Gallen and recently serviced in Munich in 2025. Powered by a 640 horsepower V12 paired with the e-gear transmission, it remains in nearly pristine condition with 23,206 kilometers. Interestingly, its top speed of 320 km/h is only achievable with the roof removed, as the temporary soft top is only rated for speeds up to 160 km/h.

The Diablo SV evolved the original Gandini design into a more powerful 510 horsepower machine capable of reaching 330 km/h.

It spent time in a renowned Belgian collection after its initial registration in Monaco. Having covered 35,570 kilometers, it recently received a thorough inspection and a new clutch in April 2026.
