Seller Notes

Rosso over Panna Leather with Red Piping and Tan carpeting, 5.7 Liter V12 Engine, 5-Speed manual Gearbox, 6,000km, (4,000miles) from new, Immaculate condition throughout. The Diablo was presented to the public for sale on 21 January 1990. Its power came from a 5.7 L (348 cu in) dual overhead cam, 4 valves per cylinder version of the existing V12 engine and featured computer-controlled multi-point fuel injection, producing a maximum output of 492 PS (362 kW; 485 hp) and 580 N?m (428 lbf?ft) of torque to reach 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. Auto Motor und Sport measured 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.5 seconds, 0-160 km/h (99 mph) in 9.3 seconds and 0-200 km/h (124 mph) in 13.7 seconds. The Diablo came equipped with standard features including fully adjustable seats, adjustable steering wheel, electric windows and an Alpine stereo system. This Diablo was further optioned with a remote CD changer, subwoofer and a rear spoiler. While early iterations of the Diablo were penned by Countach designer Marcello Gandini, American designer Tom Gale is ultimately credited with the looks of the production car. Although the classic “wedge” look remained, the Diablo was sleeker than the Countach, with dramatically improved aerodynamics and more seamlessly integrated necessities like impact bumpers and marker lights, allowing it to be sold worldwide. These early cars are regarded as some of the most exciting Diablos to drive, thanks to their lack of ABS, traction control, or power steering. That being said, overall refinement was significantly higher than on its predecessor, the Countach, a more spacious cabin, making the Diablo a far more usable car. This US-specification 1991 Diablo is from the first full year of production and was originally delivered to champion boxer Julio César Chávez, the car benefits from a subsequent long-term owner, who maintained the car for over 20 years, recent servicing includes new fluids and filters and the original five-hole OZ multi piece wheels wear new Pirelli tires, ensuring the car is ready to be enjoyed. Comes complete with its original owner's manual and maintenance book, along with the factory tool kit and service gloves, this first-generation Diablo is an excellent opportunity to add a very nicely preserved example of Lamborghini's ultimate 1990s supercar to your garage.
