Diablo GT. Evolution of a decade of art and insanity. What a proud car.
I'm obsessed with it. I dream about it. I have a desktop which shuffles pics and of the 650-odd pics of some serious, sexy automotive achievements most are of the Diablo. I want to just see one so badly (saw one when I was young and living in Oman which I can barely remember)!
Don't mean to be an ingrate but if I do see a Diablo, that isn't a GT or GTR, my overwhelming joy would eventually be replaced with annoyance :P
Thought you guys would appreciate these 2 especially ^^
It cheers me when I wake up, makes me daydream about all those crazy plans I have for what I hope to do in the future (a long story for another day but it involves !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ) and when I turn on the lappy just to see my desktop shuffle as I do shit makes my heart race.
F40 still remains the most beautiful thing man ever created. But the Diablo, nothing man-made excites me like the thought of it.
The F40 is like a fine wine which I don't really like anyway but does get me wrecked, the Diablo is that homemade alc that makes you forget everything else, just like driving one would!
I
Fucking
LOVE
You!!!!!!
:D
If you've got !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! you too can own one of 30 GTRs below
And I love how the Diablo can pull off any colour (wonder !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! this one sold for?)
They said they made 80 GTs but they sold 83 (lame). #80 is proudly displayed at Lambo HQ ( !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! )
Reiter Engineering above. Don't place bets if fortunate enough to meet it on the track
6 litre V12. You'd be here often
I'm wrong, can't love this car too much!
Giallo Corona. Nobody does yellow like Lambo

NO! Thought people would assume that it was just a pic for a Cah post, not an article of some very exciting pics ;) I can't find my bookmark for the codes but can host if you're up for a game

It's a

harder to find a test mule wreck than a road wreck.
Those things just like to fly into little expensive pieces.

80 years? seriously? I find that hard to believe seeing as how Ferarri had to make a car to break down first.

Lambo started off making tractors ;) Also it's a common misperception that Lambos are unreliable - they've been using that V12 since the Miura and 28 SVs have been converted to SVRs in a few months and there were no issues over 4 seasons of racing!

Diablos are awesome, 6-litre or 5.7. You mentioned you used to live in Oman, are you a military brat?

I remember the one time I saw a Diablo. It was going the other way down the highway in the Fraser valley in bc. That must have been the mid 90's.

oh man thank you so much for the car pron. Also my favorite supercar. I'd take one over any ferrari or lambo since. So hard to find decent sized images of this car. Here are a few I have saved on my work computer in case you haven't seen em

Nope! Dad worked in banks. We did get AFN (American Forces Network) which was some of my only exposure to Western media back then, but otherwise there was never a military presence while I was there ('95-'06)

It's been about that long since I saw one in person :( There was a shopping mall where I lived in Oman called Al-Harthy Complex (also there was once a rally car displayed there of an Omani driver when some part of a rally stage was in Oman) and it was there I remember it being purple but it may have been yellow because I had a purple toy Diablo and my memory is very poor and jumbles things :P

No I hadn't - where'd you get these? I've actually been able to find plenty of hi-res pics by always searching Large images on Google and the other site I mainly used is Flickr which tends to have hi-res and more importantly, pics that you just wouldn't find anywhere else! Love the 2nd pic, saved the set thanks! Lemme know if you have any pic requests I mostly have GT and GTR but I've saved any interesting Diablo pic I came across :)

Still my favorite car of all time. Ive seen a handful of Diablos over the years. Never seen a GT though, not sure they were street legal stateside. Ive been watching the prices over the years, someday.

It was a Euro exclusive model though a few were brought across and converted (perhaps under Show and Display), and fwiw there are quite a few Diablos with GT kits on them. Some glorious day!

I was wrong about the 80 - it's actually just over 50, thought that's where they settled on a production number from :D

I saw two at Infineon Sonoma Raceway during a Ferrari event. They were parked next to each other. Magical.

Being chased by cops while at the wheel of a yellow sv in LA is high priority on my bucket list. With that kind of live media coverage. I will reach instant hero status among every gear head of our generation.

I used to dave a white and red model of that SV and I had/have one of a 97VT I think it is. But I always liked the 95 roadster, and I think it's the 2001 GT. Then I forgot about them and moved on. And now I've come full circle. You'll still never sell me on the interior though!
