WD-40, Throtl Partner on Twin-Turbo Lamborghini Murcielago Build
From a wrecked 2006 Murcielago to a one-of-a-kind SEMA showpiece, an iconic Lamborghini V-12 supercar is reimagined…
WD-40 Brand and Throtl will debut a Liberty Walk, twin-turbocharged, manual-swapped 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago at the 2026 SEMA Show in Las Vegas this November, marking the most ambitious build yet between the automotive partners.
Announced on Throtl’s YouTube channel, the five-part build series documents the transformation of a wrecked 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago into a one-of-a-kind vehicle built to honor and elevate the legacy of the iconic V-12 supercar. The project is the second vehicle build between WD-40 Brand and Throtl, following a recent 2005 Ford GT build.
“We chose the Murcielago as a car that could stand alongside the Ford GT as its own icon,” said Quinn Clark, lead builder at Throtl Inc. “Widely regarded as one of Lamborghini’s most significant models, the Murcielago represents the end of the Bizzarrini V-12 era—an engine that powered the flagship Lamborghini for almost 50 years. Among enthusiasts, it’s often called the ‘last true Lamborghini,’ and this build is designed to push that reputation even further.”
