Lamborghini Diablo @ Köningsallee, Düsseldorf [Autogespot - Carspotting]

http://www.autogespot.com/nl/viewimages.php?id=f786e2609

The Diablo was presented to the public for sale on January 21, 1990, at a base price of $240,000 at the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo during the second Lamborghini Day.[2] Power came from a 5,709 cc (348 cu in), 48-valve version of the existing Lamborghini V12 featuring dual overhead cams and computer-controlled multi-point fuel injection, producing a maximum output of 367 kW (492 hp) and 580 N·m (428 lb·ft) of torque. The vehicle could reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in slightly under 4 seconds, with a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph). The Diablo was rear-wheel drive and the engine was mid-mounted to aid its weight balance.

The Diablo came better equipped than the Countach had; standard features included fully adjustable seats and steering wheel, electric windows, an Alpine stereo system, and power steering. Anti-lock brakes were not initially available, although they would eventually be used. A few options were available, including a custom-molded driver's seat, remote CD changer and subwoofer, rear spoiler, factory fitted luggage set (priced at $2,600) and an exclusive Breguet clock for the dash (priced at $10,500).[2]

The Diablo was the fastest production car in the world for the 1991 model year,[6] having a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph), which exceeded the 324 km/h (201 mph) of the previous title-holder, the Ferrari F40. The Diablo held the title until the release of the Bugatti EB110 in 1991, which claimed a top speed of 343 km/h (213 mph).
[edit] Diablo VT

The Diablo VT was introduced in 1993. Although the VT differed from the standard Diablo in a number of ways, by far the most notable change was the addition of all wheel drive, which made use of a viscous center differential. This provided the new nomenclature for the car (VT stands for viscous traction). The new drivetrain could direct up to 25% of the torque to the front wheels to aid traction during rear wheel slip, thus significantly improving the handling characteristics of the car.

Other improvements debuting on the VT included front air intakes below the driving lamps to improve brake cooling, larger intakes in the rear arches, a more ergonomic interior with a revised dashboard, electronically adjustable dampers, four-piston brake calipers, power steering, and minor engine refinements. Many of these improvements, save the four-wheel drive system, soon transferred to the base Diablo, making the cars visually nearly identical. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Diablo

  • schönes auto. hat doch mehr stil in einem alten diablo zu fahren, als in diesen modernen gurken, wo alles von alleine funktioniert. habe diesen diablo auch schon oft in D gesehen obwohl ich aus dortmund komme. wird also häufig gefahren. find ich gut

  • The love of an exotic sports car (or a passion for anything for that matter) is an amazing thing... you see people walking past this demi god of a car without so much as a sideways glance, I find it amazing. It's obvious after owning a lesser type of sports vehicle, yet one that still turns heads, that it's very much an Individual thing... but it's still fascinating to see no reaction lol!

  • @MegaWiEsBaDeN

    There is no small VT on the right backside. It is a Diablo build in end of 1992 and registered in june 1993 with rear wheel drive!

    You can trust me...

  • i just got a Boner
