Lamborghini Diablo fastest car in the world!!!

[Subaru12]

The Lamborghini Diablo by Gembella is the fastest car in the world exceeding speeds of over 255mph!!!! Anyone find anything faster?

[-Davo]

link?

There is a Diablo, an ugly one at that, only 4 exist, I can't remember the name, it does 385km/hr...woah... They normally only go 335 (208m/hr??).

This is the car I think he's talking about: http://www.lambocars.com/archive/diablo/gemballad.htm

It's still not the fastest production car. That title now belongs to the Bugatti Veyron.

410 km/h on a Diablo. Yeah right. Maybe with a jet engine on a solt flat somewhere in a dessert.

And secondly they don't produce the Bugatti Veron and neither does it reach the 400km/h barrier or even brake after exiding 350km/h+

What are you talking about? The Veyron is now in production and it has already had its top speed of 250mph confirmed.

[Lamboholic]

Unbelievable, never thought they would make it.

But a 255MPH Diablo is clearly impossible.

[-Davo]

clearly?

Don't jump to conclusions mate when you have a link from a highly reliable source staring at your face.

[Lamboholic]

If they seriously wanted to reach those speeds then why did they use a convertible????

And don't start about indycars which are also convertible because these are designed to reach those speeds. I doubt the windscreen on a diablo would survive let alone the other more crucial stuff.

Other then that, I'd say it's a reliable site

OK, I don't mean to insult you, but you obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

The Diablo is a highly aero-dynamic car, it's designed by professionals with over 30 years of sport car designing experience, the Diablo is very capable of reaching suchs speeds with the right engine [modifications?], and power-to-weight ratio, which obviously this car has achieved. The Diablo's front window is aerodynamically designed so sustain such presure at those high speeds, if it wouldn't, they would make it.

Planes travel much much faster, yet have a more verticle windscreen.

As to why they chose the roadster, I'm not sure, that's a good question, maybe because it's lighter? I can't say. But what "crucial stuff" are you talking aboot? I can't think of anything?

Although the speed does seem outragously high, it is quite possible.

Like, you can get 250hp from a small shitty 2.o liter WRX engine with a speed over 180, why can't you get twice that from an engine 3 times the size? I know displacement has nothing to do with it, but I'm just trying to show you what you can do with a small engine, so why can't you do it with a large one?

-Davo out.

Use a convertible? You must have no concepts of aerodynamics. A convertible will produce more drag, not to mention the uni-body construction is far from as strong as a coupe. That's why convertibles always weigh so much more. Not due to the motor for the top, but b/c of all the extra reinforcements needed to create a strong, solid structure. Not to mention the aerodynamics.

That's exactly what I'm saying here. A convertible will never run at 255MPH unless it's an Indy car. And be honest, you can't compare any street legal car with an Indy car.

I believe you could get 900HP from a 5,7L v12, but getting the power out the engine is the easy part. You need to change tyres, earodynamics, reinforce the frame, get rid of the mirors, different gearbox get rid of the extreme heat, improving the balance, new suspension, windscream, roof and the list goes on and on and on.
And a convertible will need a lot more than just 900HP perhaps 1100 like the Veyron.

Enough reason for me to say: A Diablo @255 MPH this is bull shit.

[-Davo]

Do you have proof that this is impossible? Or are you just spewing more bullshit that you can't back up?

I'm not saying it IS possible, I'm just saying don't jump to saying that it can't be done, simply because you are skepticle of the speed for a roadster.

[Lamboholic]

Nope I haven't got proof, but neither have you. you've got a story. It's just a matter of comen sense, do you have any idea how much effort it took the bugatti team to produce a car to go that fast? And the Veyron isn't even a convertible. Oke I have to give you some credit, it probably is possible if you put an tremendous amount of money in such project. But still its highly unlikely and yes that would make me skeptical.

[innocentman]

sorry to burst your bubble there lamboolic...but it is quite possible that you can get a twin turbo charged V-12 lamborghini engine to get 900BHP, i know, it is hard to believe, but its possible, it would be pushing the car to extreme limits though
