The awesome Diablo GT

Take a look at this special Lamborghini Diablo, the GT, only 80 were made during 2000, and all of them were sold out in a matter of weeks, which isn't surprising if you look at it.
Finally a brutal looking Lamborghini again, just like the Countach in it's time.

Must be great to own one of these ...

Sure is sweet. But I think I would want that lower portion of the front, the same color as the car. Ahh hell, any lambo in my possession is a keeper in my book.

GT

I agree - the front "grille" would look great if it was the same colour as the rest of the car.

Is it true that the GTs weren't street legal?

By the way, where is that parking lot? There's some nice heavy artillery sitting on that GRAVEL lot!!

The Diablo GT wasn't really street legal in the US, some were actually imported and were registered anyway, but I wouldn't want to get involved in any accident with it ...

As for the color coded front spoiler, take a look at the photo's and judge it for yourself, it sure looks different ...

The 'parking lot' of the first photo was actually a shot of a meeting in Japan, it is noteworthy that in Japan a lot of Lamborghini's were tuned.

regards

Agreed!

I think it made a dramatic difference.

The Diablo GT is considered to be the ultimate Diablo by many, closely followed by the Diablo SE Jota, which only saw between 12 to 15 units, from which several have been crashed beyond repair.

As for the weird bulb on the front hood, this one actually acts as an air outlet for the oil radiator mounted at the middle of the front spoiler.

Was the Diablo SE JOTA actually a production car? I have seen ads here in the USA for the JOTA conversion that will "pull away from Diablo SVs".

The SV and the Jota 30 SE is in some way very similar, the rear engine twin intaker.

but, the front bumper and the rear bumper is very different. and the rim. mind that even if the SV has the same body kit as the SE, i know some one who in fact does that. Mechanially, it will never match the SE jota

Yes, Lambo_boy. Very much like Star Trek the next generation. Although superior in many ways, it will never be as recognized as the original.
