SAN DIEGO – Aug. 31, 2026 – WD-40® Brand and Throtl will debut a Liberty Walk, twin-turbocharged, manual-swapped 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago at SEMA 2026 in Las Vegas this November, marking the most ambitious build yet between the partners.
\nAnnounced on Throtl’s YouTube channel, the five-part build series will document 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 V12 supercar. The project is the second vehicle build between WD-40 Brand and Throtl and follows their showstopping 2005 Ford GT build.
\n“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 V12 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.”
\nThe custom 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago will feature:
\n• Liberty Walk Silhouette WORKS Murcielago GT EVO Widebody Conversion
• Fully Built Lamborghini LP640 6.5L V12 Engine
• Custom Garrett Twin Turbocharger System
• MoTeC Engine Management System
• Royalty Exotics 6-Speed Gated Manual Conversion
• Air Lift Performance Air Suspension
• Custom HRE Performance Forged Wheels
• Bespoke Alcantara and Leather Interior by AP Upholstery
• Complete Body Restoration and Custom Paint by Torrey Pines Collision Center
“For more than 70 years, WD-40 Brand has created trusted solutions that help professionals get tough jobs done right,” said Felicia Reno, U.S. brand director at WD-40 Company. “As we continue to elevate the brand and partner with experts like Throtl, we want to put our solutions to the test on a build that requires grit, perseverance and creative problem-solving from start to finish.”
\n“We want to build something that feels like the ultimate version of a Murcielago,” said Evan Beckerman, co-founder of Throtl Inc. “Something that captures why people dream about these cars in the first place, while pushing the platform much further.”
\nFans can follow the build series and vehicle progress on Throtl’s YouTube channel and Instagram, and learn more about WD-40 Brand and its product lineup at WD40.com.

\nWD-40 Specialist Penetrant contains a proprietary blend of ingredients that work fast to free rusted bolts and other stuck parts. The capillary action penetrates into tight crevices, threads, and seams to break the bonds that hold stuck parts together. It helps prevent rust and corrosion from re-forming and leaves behind a lubricating layer. The professional-grade formula is low odor, working effectively without harsh, lingering scents.
\nUse Penetrant on nuts, bolts, pipe threads and rusted things that are stuck and won't move! It is safe to use on most common application surfaces, including most metals, plastics, and rubbers when used as directed. If unsure, test on a small area first.
\nThe permanently attached Smart Straw® Sprays 2 Ways® delivery system allows for pinpoint application or a wider spray, giving you different options to fit the job.
