![]() Lamborghini began developing the Diablo in 1985 as a replacement for the Countach model, introducing it for sale on January 21, 1991 at a base price of USD $240,000. Power came from a new 5.7 litre, 48 valve V12 featuring dual overhead cams and computer-controlled multi-point fuel injection, producing 492 horsepower (367 kW) and 427 foot-pounds (579 N·m) of torque. The vehicle could reach 60 mph in slightly over 4 seconds, with a top speed of 202 miles per hour (325 km/h). As in the Countach, the Diablo was rear wheel drive and the engine was mid-mounted to aid its weight balance. Even at over $200,000, the vehicle was fairly sparse in terms of equipment, featuring only basic radio functions (with optional CD playback) along with manual windows, adjustable but unpowered seats and no antilock brakes, mostly to minimize the vehicle's already high curb weight. A few options were available, including having the driver's seat molded specifically for the buyer, a rear wing spoiler, a factory fitted luggage set and an exclusive Breguet clock for the dash.
As much as the SV (Sport Volce) was already a near race-ready version of the Diablo, the limited run GT model went even further. A modified version of the V12 engine, bored out to 6.0 litres and producing 575 horsepower (430 kW) powered the vehicle, while enlarged brakes, an improved and lower riding suspension and owner-specific gearing that was customized by the factory were other mechanical changes. More aggressive bodywork with flared fenders and wider wheels were introduced. Only 80 units were produced in total and the vehicle was sold officially only in Europe.
The 1999 Diablo GT was dubbed the fastest production car in the world; its newer design and engine (which ultimately influenced the restyling changes for the 6.0 Diablo) were the most technically advanced of any Diablo yet: * new Lamborghini V12, 6 litre engine * new design of the body * wider front track * improved chassis and suspension * reduced weight This Car is in an excellent condition.
