    So why is this car so special?

    Well, if you've been on this forum for awhile you'll recognize it. It's the late Charles Volpe's Murcielago Roadster!

    This car was bought from Roy at Cats Exotics by Charles. He flew out to review it and had Kevin repair and refurbish anything it needed. It was then was serviced locally by none other than George Evans of Evans automotive. I have receipts for everything including $7800.00 for a full Quicksilver exhaust, decked out JL Audio system, flip up screen stereo, back up camera and all maintenance.

    When Charles died, his family had George sell off his cars. The car went to Marino's in Palm Beach where it was sold last year to the previous owner ( who lives locally in Sarasota ) He only owned it about a year and only put 800 miles on it. He did a full service of $3800.00 including all new coils at Lamborghini Sarasota in July of last year. In Feb of this year, he pull all new tires on it.....less than 200 miles on them.

    After dealing with all these cars, when I was shown this one, I was holy crap!, it's one of THE BEST maintained Murcielagos out there period. I've had nothing but frustration looking at the Murcielago series. Not only do you have to worry about maintenance but options. In the Diablo era, there weren't any options....they all came the same way.

    When looking at a Murcielago, you have to see what carbon options and with the 06 (LP 640 Brakes ) if they're carbon ceramic. For example, if you don't buy a car with the carbon engine brace ($5800.00) factory option, it will cost you $20,000 to buy it after the fact from the dealer. You will pay pennies extra on the car rather than try to add it later.

    This car came with all carbon options and engine brace. The only thing it doesn't have is the carbon ceramic brakes.....which are too damn much to service so I'm glad.

    I passed up a yellow 09 LP640 coupe for this car....it's that good. I'm so very pleased the way everything turned out and the car I ended up with. It was NO easy task. I'm going to enjoy this car for a couple of years then on to the one I really desire and want to keep....a yellow Aventador.

    Wowowow, congrats Shamile!!

    Umm, tell us more about the quad exhaust. Holy cannoli...never saw anything like that on a Murci. Aren't you worried about scraping / bottoming out? Of course, it would be pretty cool to shower the car behind you in sparks. lol.

    Thanks bro!

    It's part of the quicksilver exhaust system (stock part) I'll be honest, the exhaust and chrome (factory chrome ) wheels kinda look cheesy in pictures and I was going to change them but after you see it all together in real life, it ....hate to say it ...looks kinda good. I may change out the wheels to a satin Roadster wheel. Chrome is too 90's California lol .

    Thanks! I still prefer the lines of a Diablo and also prefer stick shift. But....I had my VT Roadster for about 10 years so it's also a time for a change.

    Huge congrats to you Shamile! I'm glad you found the right car!

    The carbon engine brace is just a work of art.

    Got to love a topless V12 grocery getter :D

    If it were me the first song played would have to be "In The Air Tonight" -- at night, top off, cruising the expressway of the nearest major city. Come on Shamile, there will be plenty of time for EDM later :D

    Starts at 0:50 : https://vimeo.com/34116115

    EDIT: And this Miami Vice Tribute Video is nice too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3f3uv6MzRg

    That white TR changed my life as a very impressionable young boy.

    Shamille!! My Miami Vice buddy! I just read this thread, tells you how often I go on this forum. Didn't know about all this. First, glad you were OK!! It was sad seeing the empty space in your garage, that had to be very difficult, but after seeing this new replacement you probably already forgot about it all and the ladies won't mind either. ;)
    That car is so "you", love the quad exhaust and I agree the chrome goes well with the color scheme. You did very well waiting for the right car.
    No worries, you will always be in the Diablo "brotherhood" ,even with owning its younger sister Murcielago.
    Can't wait to see more pics, and glad she will be getting the attention she deserves.

    Enjoy and congrats my friend.

    Cheers,

    Stephane

    Congrats Shamile! Your new car looks absolutely beautiful! Love the Rosso Vik over the cream interior. Very sharp color combo! Glad to hear that you held out and found this pristine, well documented and maintained car! Definitely a rare find. That car has no idea yet on how lucky it is to be owned by you. It also has no idea on how much fun it's going to have in the days ahead! I look forward to more pics in the future, especially some with your ladies and the new car! :)

    How will you decide the lucky one that will get to ride in your new car first??

    Congrats - it is beautiful! I actually can't recall seeing a cream interior Murcie of the top of my head, good to finally see/pay attention to one!

    Love the color, would love to see the top down/off!

    Ahhh....soooo very cool! As a Miami Vice Testarossa guy, I just loved watching this!

    But.....I'm a super high energy EDM kinda guy so, this is more me...

    This is at the club I go to do dance....yes, I dance my ass off! It's called the Amp! in Tampa. This was DJ Shanta on the decks.


    This is DJ BabyAnn with Liz Sparkle.
