1997 Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster
This 1997 Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster is one of only 200 VT Roadsters worldwide. The Diablo Rosso exterior paint
is in good condition with only a couple imperfections and nicks. The interior is Tan with red piping that is in
excellent condition for its age. Showing 44,300 miles or 71,295 km, it features the original mid-mounted 492HP V12
engine, 5-speed manual transmission, Viscous Traction “VT” all wheel drive system. In addition, it is equipped
with hydraulic front lift system for ramp clearance, an aftermarket exhaust system, factory installed rear wing,
Alpine premium CD Sound system, Brembo 4 piston braking system and the 3 piece OZ Racing Ultra-Light Aluminum
wheels.
A complete engine out inspection with heads off, including engine valves adjustment, fluids, gaskets and seals and
new clutch system was performed less than 800 miles or eight months ago. The owner’s manual, tools, remotes and a
car cover are included and shown in the pictures.
This VT model features what was to become a Lamborghini staple on its' flagship car, ALL-Wheel drive. Introduced in
1993 the all wheel drive system was adapted from the LM002 and allows up to 25% of the car's power to be sent to
the front wheels improving handling significantly over the rear drive version.
The Diablo was produced between 1990 and 2001. During this period, Lamborghini introduced several variations of the
Diablo concept, the first being the Diablo VT (Visco Traction), which featured an all-wheel drive.
The Lamborghini bosses had wished for a maximum speed of at least 320 kph, and the engineers made this wish come
true: With a top speed of 325 kph and an acceleration from 0-100 in 4.5 seconds the Diablo claimed the pole
position in the super sports cars segment! Powered by a newly developed V12 engine. Four valves per cylinder, a
computer controlled multi-point fuel injection and a displacement of 5.7 liters helped produce a maximum of 492 HP.
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.
The Diablo VT Roadster was introduced in December 1995. Besides the roof, the roadster's body was altered from the
fixed-top VT model in a number of ways. The front bumper was revised, replacing the quad rectangular driving lamps
with two rectangular and two round units.
The styling is timeless and has helped Diablo’s become the investment they are today. This capable 202 mph car
could be part of your collection or driven on the weekend for fun, they choice is yours and what a great decision
to make.

Lamborghini Urraco ownership is traumatic but awesome
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Gene Ondrusek and his 1975 Lamborghini Urraco have a relationship forged in heartache. He bought the car on a whim in 1987 and had barely driven it when the timing belt snapped thanks to a bad previous engine rebuild. With the interior already a wreck, Ondrusek set off on a restoration that would take years to get the Lamborghini back together.
All of that time arm-deep in the car's mechanicals has turned Ondrusek into a pretty persnickety owner. Passengers have to remove their shoes before getting in, and he has a mat to protect the carpet on the driver's side. However, despite his fastidious temperament, this Urraco isn't a garage queen and gets driven often.
Ondrusek doesn't exactly make the Urraco sound like an unmitigated joy behind the wheel, either. The seating position forces the driver to sit at an angle, and with no power brakes or power steering, the wedge-shaped coupe is not exactly easy to handle at low speeds. Still, all that time fixing the car has clearly created a strong bond behind man and machine, and we think the wedgy, underappreciated mid-Seventies Marcello Gandini design has held up well. Get a feel for both the car and the owner's connection by watching this latest video from Petrolicious.
Dubai police welcome Lamborghini Aventador cop car
Thu, 11 Apr 2013There is a long history of law enforcement adding supercars to their police cruiser fleets. The latest comes from a likely place, Dubai, where one-upping the rest of the world in conspicuous consumption has become a national point of pride.
The Dubai police force announced yesterday that they've added a Lamborghini Aventador to their fleet, the Italian supercar capping a broader upgrade to their selection of cruisers that also reportedly includes new examples of the Chevy Camaro.
The 700-horsepower Aventador has a starting price in the US of nearly $400,000 and can reach speeds up to 217 miles per hour. Reports, however, say that the Dubai police force won't be using the car's 0-60 performance of 3.9 seconds to catch any crooks, but rather that the supercar will be used in tourist areas to impress foreign travelers.
Dax Shephard, Lamborghini Super Trofeo racer?
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Dax Shepard is no Paul Newman, nor even Patrick Dempsey, but he has a pretty cool gig mixed with plenty of acting and racing. While you might know him from Hollywood comedies like Employee of the Month and Hit & Run, the Michigan native now seems to be dabbling in road racing after competing in the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo North America, and to celebrate, Lamborghini has issued a new short video introducing Shepard and kicking off its new pro-am racing series.
Like many kids of the '70s and early '80s, Shepard's love of cars can be traced back to a Lamborghini Countach, and, fittingly, his first time road racing in a car happened to be in a Lamborghini - an experience he comically suggests would be like another sort of "first time" with Selma Hayek. In addition a few chuckles, the video posted below also gives us some of our first racing footage of the Super Trofeo North America's opening weekend at Lime Rock in early July, in which Shepard grabbed a third-place finish.
