A Look at the Lambo Combo Collection, from Wob
BaT power seller @Wob consistently wows the BaT crowd with his incredible variety of vehicles and top-notch presentation. Following the success of his marque-focused Ferrari Fall Festival and Weissach Winter Wonderland collections, he’s back with a tidy package of seven Lamborghinis, just in time for the spring thaw. This bouquet of Bolognese beauties focuses primarily on scissor-door models from the 1980s forward, but also includes a rare alloy-body 350 GT from the company’s first-ever run of production vehicles. We’re calling it the Lambo Combo Collection, and the auctions are currently going live!
An overview of the cars of the Lambo Combo Collection continues below:
Alloy-Bodied 1965 Lamborghini 350 GT
It’s hard to believe that the 350 GT was Lamborghini’s first attempt at a production car, but Signore Ferruccio hired the right people to bring it to life. Giotto Bizzarrini, all too eager to stick it to Ferrari, designed the 3.5-liter V12. Giampaolo Dallara handled the chassis. And Carrozzeria Touring hammered out the sleek aluminum bodywork over their trademark Superleggera steel framework. Just 120 cars were built, and this particular example is a veteran of the concours circuit. When it rolled off of the line in early 1965 this car was test driven by Kiwi Bob Wallace, and it was Wallace who later refurbished it in the mid-1990s. It first appeared on BaT in 2021, and is back for a second time after enjoying $11k in maintenance.
1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary
The year 1989 was the second of Lamborghini’s three-year-long 25th Anniversary. The car chosen to commemorate the event was the mighty Countach, and for the occasion it wore strakes: strakes on the rockers, strakes on the front spoiler, strakes on the scoops and intakes and engine cover. Under the direction of Horacio Pagani, exterior trim became body color, special OZ Racing wheels were fitted, the dash was revised, and power windows and seats were added. We haven’t seen this particular 25th Anniversary Countach on the site before, but it’s identical to the one we pictured ourselves driving in our childhood imagination.
VT stands for “Viscous Traction,” Lamborghini’s first all-wheel-drive system, which debuted on the Diablo in 1994. Only 25% of available torque was ever directed to the front wheels (because Lamborghini knew where their priorities lay), but the supplementary traction mitigated some of the car’s more unruly characteristics. There’s never anything subtle about a Lamborghini—especially a Diablo—but this one wears its devil-red accents in the most understated fashion possible, on the brake calipers and seat piping. In addition to factory air conditioning and power steering, this car is equipped with an aftermarket Kenwood audio system and HRE multi-piece wheels.
1997.5 Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster
With its removable roof panel, many would borrow a term from another automaker and call the Diablo VT Roadster a targa—but that’s beside the point. When the model was introduced in 1996, it made Lamborghini ownership a more viable option for tall folk and top hat wearers alike. The drivetrain remained the 48-valve 5.7-liter V12 coupled with Viscous Traction AWD, and the car also received an active damper system with adjustable settings. The Diablo was in production for eleven years, during which various updates were performed along the way. This car rolled off the line in June 1997 with 1998 model-year changes including a revised engine cover and bumpers; it has been shorn of its catalytic converters and wears various aftermarket engine components.
10k-Mile 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Nera Coupe
The year 2007 was the fifth for Gallardo production, and for the occasion Lamborghini went back to black with 185 Nera Edition cars. These were finished in Nero Noctis or Nero Serapis paint with matte black mirrors and aero components, black wheels, and a black interior. This one breaks up the darkness with Bianco Polar inserts and accents throughout the cabin, and is heavy on comfort features like the Lamborghini Multimedia infotainment system, a rear-view camera, a front-axle lift system, heated power-adjustable seats, a Bluetooth-compatible audio system, and dual-zone automatic climate control. But all of that luxury fades into the background when the right pedal goes down and 512 horsepower are summoned from the 5.0-liter V10 behind the cockpit. As the Gallardo was considered subordinate to the V12-powered models at the time, its doors open like —this—, not like \this/.
8k-Mile 2007 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Coupe
Lamborghini, newly revitalized with funds from their new Audi stewards, rolled out the Murcielago as their flagship supercar in 2003. The LP640 was a 2007 update that punched its brutal V12 out to 6.5 liters, and was so named because of its peak output of 640 PS, or 632 horsepower. This example stands out in Verde Ithaca over black leather with bright green accents throughout. It has traveled just 8k miles over its lifetime, and has been kept by one owner since 2013.
174-Mile 2022 Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4
In the last 18 months, we’ve seen four of the approximately 112 examples of the 2022 Countach LPI 800-4 pass through the site; this is the first one to come back for a second round, and has traveled less than 100 miles since it last sold here in September 2024. The gold carbon-fiber bodywork evokes the LP400 and LP500 Countach models, and is wrapped over the Aventador platform, specifically the Sián FKP 37 hybrid-electric supercar, which added a supplementary electric motor to the transaxle of the 6.5-liter V12 and boosted peak output to a combined 800 horsepower. In the rarefied world of limited-production Lamborghini halo cars, custom touches abound: the Oro Eleos paint color came from the Ad Personam menu, as did gloss carbon-fiber trim and gold and tricolor accents throughout.
