Meeting your Video Game Hero Car: Lamborghini Murcielago ISSIMI DRIVES

Now available on ISSIMI’s Auction Platform, This 2002 Murcielago is a first-year car and was likely one of the most famous Lamborghinis of that period. Bought new by Grammy-nominated rap artist Busta Rhymes, this Verde Ithaca car was the centerpiece of numerous photo shoots involving the rapper. In the last few years, it has become clear to enthusiasts how rare and desirable a Murcielago equipped with a manual gearbox is, and prices have skyrocketed. This car is not only offered in one of the quintessential Lamborghini colors and fitted with a manual, but it is, without a doubt, one of the most famous examples from the early 2000s and comes with documented celebrity ownership. Powering the Murcielago is a variant of Lamborghini’s famed V12 which displaces 6.2 liters and was rated from the factory at 572 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent through a gated 6-speed manual transaxle to all 4 wheels. The interior of this car is the only place that really displays the remnants of celebrity ownership. Finished in a light cream color that Lamborghini calls “Snowcorn,” the headrests are still emblazoned with the lime green and white “Flipmode” logo embroidered to match the green piping found on both seats. Join Lorenzo on a trip back through a video game from his youth, when he has a chance to slide behind the wheel of this 2002 Lamborghini Murcielago.
