A gold Lamborghini is hardly shy, but this Oro Adonis Murcielago SV is something else again. The special-colour V12 has found a new home in Bahrain, adding another sharply curated chapter to the story of one of Lamborghini’s most dramatic modern-era flagships. Better still, it won’t be the only Murcielago SV in the garage.
At a glance
- A Lamborghini Murcielago SV finished in special Oro Adonis paint has arrived in Bahrain.
- The car is numbered 343 of 350 and uses a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 producing 661 hp.
- It will share garage space with a Monterey Blue Murcielago SV, creating a rare two-car V12 pairing.
The car in question is a Lamborghini Murcielago SV in Oro Adonis, a deep, shimmering gold finish that gives the already extroverted SuperVeloce a more ceremonial kind of presence.
Oro Adonis gives the Murcielago SV a different kind of drama
The Murcielago SV was never a car designed to disappear into traffic, but Oro Adonis pushes it into rarer visual territory.
Plenty of bespoke SVs have worn strong colours, including reds, blues, silvers and yellows, yet this gold finish lands differently because it feels less like a conventional supercar shade and more like a deliberate collector statement.
On a shape as angular and low as the Murcielago, the colour has plenty to work with, catching the car’s flat planes, intake edges and broad rear haunches without softening the aggression.
Number 343 of 350 joins a Monterey Blue SV
This example is numbered 343 of 350, which matters because the SV already sits at the sharp end of Murcielago collecting.
Its new Bahrain home is especially fitting, as the Oro Adonis car is set to share space with a Monterey Blue Murcielago SV.
That pairing says a lot about the way top-tier Lamborghini collecting has evolved, with colour, numbering and specification now playing almost as important a role as raw performance.
The V12 is still the centre of gravity
Under the paintwork sits the part that gives the Murcielago SV its lasting pull, a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12.
The engine produces 661 hp at 8,000 rpm and 487 lb ft of torque at 6,500 rpm, figures that still read with real authority in an era increasingly defined by hybrid assistance and turbocharging.
For collectors, that combination of limited numbering, a naturally aspirated V12 and an unusually assertive colour makes this SV more than just another rare Lamborghini.
It’s the kind of car that appeals to someone who wants the final-era theatre of the Murcielago bloodline, but with a specification that gives it a visual identity all its own.
