2000 Lamborghini Diablo VT 6.0

2000 Lamborghini Diablo VT 6.0 at the 2001 Chicago Auto Show

The Lamborghini Diablo was introduced in 1990, originally powered by a longitudinally-mounted 485-horsepower 5.7-liter dual-overhead-cam 48-valve V-12 engine with 428 foot-pounds of torque. The original Lamborghini Diablo could accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 4.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 205 miles per hour. The all-wheel-drive Diablo VT first appeared in 1993, featuring a carbon-fiber driveshaft and a viscous center differential. The traction-enhancing all-wheel drive system of the Diablo VT could direct up to 25% of the power to the front wheels if the rear wheels started spinning faster than the front wheels. The Diablo received a facelift in 1999, with the most obvious change being the replacement of the original pop-up headlights with fixed composite headlights and an increase in power to 529 horsepower. Following Lamborghini’s 1998 sale to Audi, the Diablo VT 6.0 was introduced in 2000, featuring the 575-horsepower 6.0-liter dual-overhead-cam 48-valve V12 engine with 457 foot-pounds of torque from the limited production Diablo GT, along with the increased use of carbon-fiber in the bodywork and the interior. Displayed at the 2001 Chicago Auto Show, the Diablo VT 6.0 could now accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.6 seconds, with a price starting at $230,000. The Lamborghini Diablo’s last year would be 2001, when it would be replaced by the new MurciĆ©lago.
