Murcielago MASTERCLASS with Ed Bolian and John Hooper!

We always get asked about the differences between the early generation Lamborghini Murcielago and the Murcielago LP640. So to address the question, we brought in Murcielago experts, VinWiki's own shrewd negotiatior, Mr. Ed Bolian, and Head of Curated Restorations and Lamborghini Master Technician, Mr. John Hooper! We luckily had a yellow early gen Murcielago Roadster, a black on black Murcielago LP640, and a yellow Murcielago SV LP670!

In the constant pursuit of pairing the world’s best automobiles with the world’s best collectors, CURATED Miami has specialized in Vintage Blue Chip European Automobiles since 2016 — specifically low production cars built by the likes of Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and more. CURATED continues to pave the way for the next generation of collectors chasing the “poster cars” of their youth. Co-founder John Temerian, often called the Indiana Jones of car collecting, truly understands the importance of history, details, and provenance and CURATED is dedicated to educating and supporting new custodians, empowering them to preserve and celebrate these rare icons. Known for our inventory of some of the most rare examples of Ferarris and Lamborghinis ever produced, CURATED has a passionate global following, comprised of enthusiasts, experts, influencers and celebrities.

(for those that don't know) John Hooper is one of the few Lamborghini certified Master Technicians (as well as a host of other rare certifications) that is still in the game after nearly 30 years; from a time when techs only trained in Sant'Agata - at the factory. A protégé of the greatest technicians and Lamborghini minds that the world has ever seen. One could say that when it comes to someone worth listening to about the technical aspect of these cars, there is no one more relevant is the US. Amazing that Curated has him on the team. Would love to see a longer, more in depth video about technical instead of production numbers and design options/differences.

I met Mr. Hooper during my visit to Curated. You guys had closed early that day and my friend and I had failed to realize that while we were there. While my buddy was in the bathroom he took the time to speak to me even though you guys had been closed for roughly 10 minutes at that point. He was happy to answer any questions I had about whatever I asked. Now I know who he is, all I can say it was an absolute honor to be there and be able to speak to him. Thank you again for all you do for these cars.

The fact that Ed isn’t reading off of a script and that’s pure enthusiasm!! Incredible!!

I LOVED my 06 Murci. That car was a rockstar & attracted people everytime I took it out. Young, old, people from all walks of life loved that car. These cars really bring people together.

This much Lamborghini knowledge together, in one place, could induce some sort of mental overload. 😁
Great video!👍👍

[stewkeene]

Ed knows his passion very very well and it shows. Pretty damn good memory 🫵🏻👍🏻

[breakupgoogle]

so excited for this! dont be afraid to have more episodes like this super nerding out on production and details.

[williamlorenz]

It was rumoured that the 2002-2003 cars made more power due to their different engine management and components. This may be why the 03 feels much better than later cars.

What other videos would you like to see us film with Ed Bolian?

[furgulley]

This is my favorite kind of content. I could watch hours of this.

It's a pity that Lamborghini seems to have moved away from fitting Alpine audio systems into their cars after the Diablo went out of production. Those Alpine/Lambo posters from the '80s and '90s are iconic!

Thanks gentlemen, walking text books of knowledge. THANKS FOR SHARING…. Keep this excellent work going, so far 2023 videos are outstanding

[DamnSkippy]

Always love you guys content! Keep up the hard work!!

[bkoldy]

Great Video....love hearing the knowledge that these guys drop on these cars.

I bug John about this a lot.

The first time I ever took notice of a Lamborghini was when I saw the movie "Dumb and Dumber" as a kid. It's one of those images that's burned into your mind. Bright colored, mean looking Diablo that just popped against that Aspen snow. I even remember that their briefcase full of "IOU's" contained one for $400, 000 for that car. That was the moment myself and I imagine many others, knew what a Lamborghini was.

I would like to see you do some content on that very car. What year was it? Color and specs? Who's was it and where is it now?

"I like it a lot"

Masterclass indeed!! Great knowledge all around, thank you for sharing. Now I feel stupid not buying a Murci when they were in the low 100s lol.

[vkid]

Love this! More of these types of videos please!

[ryanhansen]

Best Master Class I've EVER ATTENDED!

[jamesfournier]

This was awesome. So informative and all in all fun to listen too. 😊

[sonnicman]

Amazing. You have one of the most knowledgeable people on Murci’s standing with one of the best technicians on Earth 🌍. I stand with John. The manual gearbox is the best transmission I have ever used in any vehicle period.
