The Diablo was initially designed by Marcello Gandini and was restyled for the VT model with enlarged intakes at the front and rear of the car. The VT was Lamborghini’s first all-wheel-drive supercar, and this example is finished in Diablo Rosso. The front bumper cover is said to have been refinished under current ownership.

The Diablo was initially designed by Marcello Gandini and was restyled for the VT model with enlarged intakes at the front and rear of the car. The VT was Lamborghini’s first all-wheel-drive supercar, and this example is finished in Diablo Rosso. The front bumper cover is said to have been refinished under current ownership.
Features include pop-up headlights, fog lights, scissor doors, a vented deck lid, a rear wing, quad exhaust outlets, and VT badging. Under previous ownership the doors were serviced with replacement struts, push buttons, finger pulls, and release latches. Delamination is noted toward the bottom of the windshield, and the paintwork and exterior trim are shown up close in the photo gallery below.
Painted 17″ OZ Racing wheels are mounted with 245/40 front and 355/50 rear Michelin Pilot Sport tires. Each corner is equipped with Brembo brake calipers, and the passenger-side front brake-cooling duct is torn inside the wheel well. Power-assisted steering was added for the VT model.
The interior features fixed-back bucket seats with black leather upholstery and red piping, which extends to the console, dashboard, and door panels. Equipment includes air conditioning and a Kenwood stereo with a pop-up touchscreen, which receives a feed from a rearview camera.
A three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of instrumentation that includes a 220-mph speedometer and a 9k-rpm tachometer flanked by auxiliary gauges. The six-digit odometer shows just under 87k kilometers (~54k miles), approximately 2k kilometers of which have been added by the seller since 2019. The Carfax report shows a mileage inconsistency in 2008.
The 5.7-liter V12 was rated for 485 horsepower and 428 lb-ft of torque when new, which is delivered to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. Approximately five years ago the car was converted to rear-wheel drive, at which time more than 90 pounds of AWD equipment is said to have been removed. A Larini cat-back exhaust system has been added, and service in early 2021 consisted of fluid changes as well as replacing a timing sensor as well as the air-conditioning compressor and recharging the system.
Additional photos of the underside are presented in the gallery below.
The removed AWD components that will accompany the car are shown above.
