Lamborghini Diablo VTPhotography coming soon
The last of the hand-built Lamborghini era. The Diablo was wilder, faster, and more dangerous than the Countach it replaced.
History
Gandini designed the original Diablo but Chrysler (who owned Lamborghini at the time) softened his radical proposal. The VT added all-wheel drive for more usable performance. The SV and GT variants pushed power to 530hp. The purple SE30 anniversary edition is the most desirable.
