Supercars: Lamborghini Diablo

Lamborghini began developing the Diablo (which translates to "Devil" in Spanish) in 1985 as a replacement for the Countach model, introducing it for sale on January 21, 1990 at a base price of USD 240,000. Power came from a 5.7-litre, 48-valve version of the legendary Lamborghini V12 featuring dual overhead cams and computer-controlled multi-point fuel injection, producing a maximum output of 492 hp (367 kW) and 427 ft·lbf (579 N·m) of torque. The vehicle could reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in slightly over 4 seconds, with a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h). The Diablo was originally rear-wheel drive and the engine was mid-mounted to aid its weight balance.

Even at over $240,000, the vehicle was somewhat spartan, featuring only basic radio functions (with optional CD playback) along with manual windows, adjustable but unpowered seats and no anti-lock 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 spoiler, a factory fitted luggage set (priced at $2,600) and an exclusive Breguet clock for the dash (priced at $10,500).

The music spoils the whole video. The orginal video has no music, just the V12 and the car. AND THAT IS THE MUSIC what it should be!

[skinniouschinnious]

Actually the original video had narration over most of it, so there's not much I could do.

[samiaalt]

Yep, but please upload the orginal one, no anything else. The mountain corner clip is fantastic, when it its the an orginal document. And the orginal document the music is totally different, when there is a music.

@samiaalt as I said before, the original is some early 90s documentary with commentary and cheesy music over it. I extracted the parts with no music or narration and they're at the start.

i think the shape of the diablo is the definition of "supercar"...

just my opinion...

[ninjarain1022]

I agree, Lamborghini needs to bring back the diablo name and go back to quintessential Italian supercar design

[viperbiker1]

The music killed the video. What a shame!

[lowlow643]

i wish if i can own one,hitting 240 or 340km in a supra or a gtr or even a civic is no big deal,but doing it in this is fantastic

[BiffBallbag]

its a stunning car, and I do think the first real supercar was a lambo, but not this one. The Muria is the one that got the ball rolling, what a beautiful machine.

I agree and it's my favorite Lambo still. With that said, I 've always preferred them without that big ass wing.
