About this car
The 1991 Lamborghini Diablo stands as a landmark achievement in supercar history, the first production car to exceed 200 mph with its dramatic Marcello Gandini design and ferocious performance. Finished in the striking Viola SE30 metallic purple, this example pairs its bold exterior with a luxurious tan leather interior that highlights the car's exotic character. Powered by a 5.7L V12 engine producing 485 horsepower through multi-point fuel injection and four overhead camshafts, it delivers breathtaking acceleration and a claimed top speed of 202 mph.
Power flows through a five-speed manual transaxle to the rear wheels, with massive ventilated disc brakes and double-wishbone suspension at all four corners providing precise control. The impossibly low stance, signature scissor doors, and razor-edged wedge profile create an unforgettable visual presence that defined the early 1990s supercar era. Inside, the driver-focused cockpit features hand-stitched hides, deep carpeting, and a prominent tachometer, all in original condition with just 8,533 miles recorded.
Now more than three decades old, this Diablo represents the final generation of purely analog, pre-Audi Lamborghinis—an unfiltered expression of Italian speed and style preserved in near time-capsule condition.

The Lamborghini Diablo, produced from 1990 to 2001, is an iconic supercar that succeeded the Countach and marked a significant era for Lamborghini under Chrysler’s ownership initially, and later Audi. Approximately 2,884 units were built across various trims, making it relatively rare and highly sought after by exotic car collectors. It was named after a fierce fighting bull, reflecting Lamborghini’s tradition of bull-inspired nomenclature.
Equipped with a mid-mounted V12 engine, the Diablo initially offered a 5.7-liter variant producing 492 horsepower, later upgraded to a 6.0-liter version with up to 550 horsepower in models like the Diablo VT 6.0. Performance highlights include a top speed exceeding 200 mph (320 km/h) and a 0-60 mph time of around 4 seconds. Notable features include its scissor doors, a hallmark of Lamborghini’s V12 lineup, and all-wheel-drive options in VT models. Special editions, such as the limited-run Diablo SE30 (150 units) commemorating Lamborghini’s 30th anniversary, are particularly prized for their exclusivity and historical significance. Values have risen steadily, with well-maintained examples often fetching over $300,000 at auctions, driven by rarity and its status as a 1990s supercar icon.
