Lamborghini Diablo

The Lamborghini Diablo, produced from 1990 to 2001, is one of the most emblematic supercars of the 1990s. The last Lamborghini to be fully developed before the arrival of Audi, it perpetuates the heritage of the naturally-aspirated V12 while introducing major advances: four-wheel drive (VT), a radical GT version, and profound aesthetic changes. Nicknamed "the devil" for its wild temperament and extreme design by Marcello Gandini, the Diablo remained one of Sant'Agata Bolognese's most legendary icons, with some 2,884 examples produced.
