Lamborghini, in true Italian style, produce some of the most outrageously fast and wildely styled cars on the road. Until the McLaren F1 came along, the Diablo was close to being the fastest production car available. There are different flavour Diablo's available which means any one with enough money to go for all out speed (with the SE30 Jota) or the luxuries of the four wheel drive VT. The car's design is based on Lamborghini's own Countach, although is more refined and has a sleaker profile. However the shear size of the vehicle gives it a very large turning circle, making parking and point-to-point turns in narrow roads are a thing of the past. Still if you owned one, you'd own a Lamborghini, a true monster of a road going race car. Check out the Technical Specifications below and view some of the images to see what I mean.
