Ok i'm shopping for a Lambo Diablo
Got to test drive one this weekend
Heres the run down
1990
Lamborghini produced the Diablo, the fastest production car in the world, reaching a top speed of 202 mph.
1992
The open top version of the Diablo, the Roadster is presented at the Geneva Motor Show.
The LM002 went out of production
1993
This is "the year of the V.T."
In March 1993 the Diablo VT was introduced to the press and the public during the Geneva motor show.
In September, during the Lamborghini Day 3, the Diablo Special Edition was introduced to the public at the factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese. The production was limited to 150 units built during 1994-95.
1994
In April Lamborghini presents a new gearbox for the racing marine engine. The Off Shore season starts off enthusiastically for the engineers who had projected the change and power of the engine (almost 950 H.P.)
November: the 1994 Off-Shore season ends with the last two races in Dubai. Lamborghini is world Champion in Class 1.
1995
A magnificent special cherry red Diablo Roadster VT with a fucsia pink interior is presented at the Bologna Motor Show. Production of the Roadster took off immediately.
1996
At the Geneva Motor Show the Diablo SV (Sport Veloce) is presented, a simplified and more sporty version of the Diablo, inspired by the legendary Miura SV. With an engine power of 525 bhp, reduced weight and a shorter final drive ratio the car reaches 100 km/h in less than 4 seconds.
The Diablo SVR is also presented, to compete in the Lamborghini monomarque championship. The championship successfully takes off and 26 Diablo SVR's line up on the main European circuits.
The Class 1 World Off-Shore Championship sees once again the victory of the Lamborghini marine engine.
1997
The Lamborghini Monomarque Championship successfully continues with the participation of about 30 Diablo SVRs and it ends with the last race in Zhuhai, China.
Also for this year the Lamborghini marine engine has been judged as the World Class 1 Offshore Champion.
1998
The Model Year ‘99 Diablo is presented at the Paris Motor Show with a major engine improvement which delivers, with its 12 V cylinders, new variable intake valve timing and the new electronics a power of 530 bhp (390 kW) in all models. The brakes have been improved with much wider discs and an advanced ABS system developed by the Lamborghini R&D centre. The dashboard has been completely redesigned and the new headlamps give a fresher look to the front of the Diablo.
Heres the Dealio
Yes i did get to drive a diablo, it was smoking really bad out the left tailpipe the owner said it only does that right before it warms up, and the seats were getting cracks in the leather, It was a big disappointment, i told him i would think about it.
He should have told me that in thhe E mail, i will say this i you ever get the experience it listen to a monster V 12 Roar down the highway its a sound like no other.
I did get to see another one i'll post pics of it soon.The one i drove was a VT Roadster.
Good to see you all!
