1995 Lamborghini Diablo Vt Quicksilver Exhaust on 2040-cars
Jefferson, Maryland, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1995 Diablo. I have owned this car for 2 1/2 years. This car is a real head turner and I have had a lot of fun taking it to car shows and going for rides with the wife or kids. The passenger side visor has been signed by Valentino Balboni (see pics). If you don't know who that is, maybe you should be looking at another brand of car. :) The car is always garaged and covered in the garage. Since I purchased the Diablo, it has only been driven in good weather and always stored for the winter. I am not a mechanic, but I will explain to the best of my knowledge the condition of the car and equipment. This auction includes an all-weather 5 layer Mosom Plus custom fit car cover from CoverKing I purchased for $250 (see pic). I will also include the original fuel pressure regulators and a rebuilt clutch slave cylinder that I keep as a backup. The complete factory tool kit and tire inflator with cases are also included in the front storage area. Both owner's manuals are included along with the original Lamborghini key and key fob, and a spare key.
The odometer currently reads 28977 kilometers which converts to about 18,000 miles. The engine oil and filter were changed this week. Over this past winter I had the clutch fluid and brake system flushed. The brake pads appear almost new. This winter the transmission fluid along with the front and rear differential fluid was also changed. The Diablo spent the winter at Exotic Car Specialties in Sterling, VA. Along with the fluid changes, they hooked the car up to a Lamborghini service computer and tuned/checked all of the engine sensors including TPS, idle air bypass, fuel pressure, etc. New front brake duct hoses installed in November. Installed UHMW plastic skid plate under the front bumper to prevent damage to the fiberglass (see pic). I had Murcielago door struts installed so the doors now slowly raise on their own after the latch is released instead of having to pull them up. Probably my favorite modification. Last year I had an adjustable fuel pressure regulator installed to help the fuel mixture with the aftermarket exhaust. Complete paint correction buffing and Opti-Coat applied summer 2013. Quicksilver muffler delete pipe was installed last year. Car still has all 4 cats installed. The car is loud now, but not obnoxious (in my opinion). For more noise you'll have to do a rear cat delete. New clutch slave cylinder and clutch rod installed last year. Tires were replaced when I purchased the car in 2012. Plenty of tread left. Battery was also replaced in late 2012 with an Optima YellowTop. According to receipts I received with the car, the last major service was in July of 2010 totaling over $16,000. With the installation of aftermarket exhaust, the Check Engine Light on the left or right bank will often light due to the engine running slightly lean. Sometimes it'll go weeks without going on, other times it'll light within a day or two of reset. The car still runs fine and sounds great with the Quicksilver exhaust installed. Consider the CELs a known issue as I don't want to hear about them after the sale. The front and rear "bumpers" have both received resprays in the past. The front, while passable to drive around, is certainly not concours level work. The rest of the paint work appears to be original. The carpet, dash, and seats all seem to be in excellent condition. There is some slight wear on the red piping on the driver's side seat bolster (see pic). This car is now over 19 years old and does show minor wear along with very minor scratches and stone chips in the paint. That being said, it is in excellent shape for its age. From under the car, there appears to be minor "weeping" of oil around the oil pan. No dripping though, and my garage floor stays oil free. The A/C blows ice cold. The car has the original Alpine cassette stereo with a factory 6 CD changer behind the passenger seat. I don't use it much, but the CDs I have in there play fine. If I were going to be using the radio a lot, I would probably install something a little more modern with Bluetooth, Sirius XM, and MP3 capability. Since the car was only used for short trips, the factory system served me fine. All of the warning lights appear to be operational on the dash, but one of the dash lights behind the tachometer appears to be burnt out. The starting price of the auction is the reserve price. Please don't bother emailing me with low-ball offers. My grandmother doesn't need an operation. My house isn't about to be foreclosed. My kids are already out of college. In other words, I don't "need" to sell this car. If it doesn't sell, I'll be more than happy to keep it for awhile. The value of these Diablos is only going up. Countach prices are through the roof and the Diablo stock available is very limited, which makes it a good car to own right now. Please don't email me asking "How much would it take to end the auction early?". If you want to throw me a SERIOUS number, then go ahead. Otherwise, I'm happy to let the auction play out. If you want to have a pre-purchase inspection done, please make arrangements to have it done BEFORE the auction ends. If you're the high bidder, you've bought the car. All inspection fees and shipping fees are the responsibility of the buyer or potential buyer. I will assist in shipping any way I can. The car is located in Jefferson, Maryland, just outside of Frederick in zip code 21755. Please read the payment instructions carefully before bidding. I want to protect the buyer, but I also need to look out for myself. Sorry to sound so crass, but I've been burned by non-paying bidders before. I love this car. It pulls like a freight train and sounds beautiful. I purchased this car with the intention of keeping it for a few years and then passing it on to a new owner (and making room for something different). With that being said, this will probably be my last super exotic. To me the Diablo is the top of the mountain. This was on my "bucket list" and I'm glad to have owned it. It's an almost 20 year old car that draws a crowd wherever it goes. When you need gas (which is quite often), leave yourself plenty of time at the gas station for picture takers and people who just want to chat. I've never received a traffic citation in the Diablo, but I've been pulled over more than once. People just want to get a closer look at the car. If there are any particular pictures you'd like, please send me a message. Happy bidding! |

Former Ferrari F1 chief could be new Lamborghini CEO
Wed, Dec 16 2015The word on the street in Bologna is that Lamborghini is in for a changing of the guard. Current CEO Stephan Winkelmann is tipped to step down after 14 years at the helm in Sant'Agata, likely to move to another role at Audi. And in his place, the German automaker is anticipated to appoint Stefano Domenicali. Domenicali was formerly the head of Scuderia Ferrari, rising through the ranks at Maranello to succeed Jean Todt as team principal in 2008. He resigned in 2014 to be replaced first by Ferrari US chief Marco Mattiacci and then by Marlboro man Maurizio Arrivabene as the team has struggled to find its form again. Shortly after leaving Maranello, Domenicali took up a new position at Audi, where he was rumored to be working on the company's anticipated foray into Formula One with Red Bull. But after that program was shut down in the wake of the diesel emissions scandal, Domenicali is now tipped to move back to Italy to take over the supercar business. Stefano would be the second Domenicali to head an Italian performance brand under the VW/Audi umbrella, joining Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali (they not believed to be related). The move would also be a particularly emphatic gesture to Sergio Marchionne. The Fiat Chrysler Automobiles chief has previously lost top lieutenants to Volkswagen, most notably Luca de Meo, who headed up VW brand's passenger car marketing department before taking over at Seat. While previous Ferrari chiefs Todt and Montezemolo came up through the racing department, Marchionne assumed the chairmanship in Maranello and brought in outside talent instead. Meanwhile Winkelmann has been in charge of Lamborghini since 2005, when he was appointed by Audi to run the company it had just acquired a few years prior. Under the tenure of the German-Italian executive, Lamborghini sales have risen from 1,600 units per year to over 2,500 last year. The introduction of the forthcoming Urus crossover, birthed under Winkelmann's leadership, is expected to more than double that overall figure. Given his success in transforming Lamborghini, it isn't likely that the Volkswagen Group will simply show Winkelmann the door. Word has it that he'll receive another posting at Audi, potentially taking over the growing Quattro GmbH division in Neckarsulm. The division is responsible for all of Audi's RS models as well as the R8 – the latter of which Audi sells as many units as the entire Lamborghini division does in a year.
'Rich Kid of Instagram' victim of supercar arsonists
Wed, 18 Jun 2014A 19-year-old in the UK is smarting after the possibility that his prolific social media use may be at the heart of four family-owned supercars going up in flames in barely a week. Aleem Iqbal has thousands of followers on Twitter and Instagram paying attention to his frequent posts about the high-priced cars he's driving. He's even been featured on the Tumblr page Rich Kids of Instagram. It appears that some people might not be so smitten with him, though.
According to his Twitter profile, Iqbal owns Platinum Executive Travel, a luxury car rental company in the England, and UK newspaper The Telegraph claims the company is also owned by Iqbal's father. On June 6, cameras caught three hooded men setting fire to a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster leased by the company for a wedding. A few days later, two Audi R8 Spyders and a Bentley Continental Flying Spur from Platinum also got the torch, and two men were caught on camera setting the blaze. Nobody was hurt in either of the attacks, and the Aventador appeared to be repairable with the fire causing most damage to the passenger seat and dashboard. Police are still investigating both of the crimes.
According to The Telegraph, Iqbal believes that the arsons could have stemmed from jealousy towards him and his family's business. Regardless, setting fire to a bunch of cars that are likely insured isn't a great way to show displeasure.
Lamborghini Centenario blows our minds with 760 horsepower
Tue, Mar 1 2016Every time we think Lamborghini couldn't go more extreme, it goes and outdoes itself again. Take this latest supercar for example. Called the Centenario, it celebrates what would have been Ferruccio Lamborghini's hundredth birthday (were he still alive today). It's essentially an Aventador underneath, but with more visually arresting bodywork and even more impressive specs. Like the Aventador, the Centenario is built around a carbon monocoque with a V12 engine bolted to the back. Only instead of the Aventador's 700 metric horsepower or the Aventador SV's 750, the Centenario packs 770 – equivalent to 760 hp by US standards. That's enough to propel it to 62 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds and on to a top speed in excess of 217 mph. To keep all that power and pace in check, Lamborghini fitted the Centenario with carbon-ceramic brakes and magnetorheological dampers. It also packs a four-wheel steering system like the one you'd find on the Porsche 911 GT3 or Ferrari F12 TdF to help keep it stable at speed and nimble under cornering. The unique Independent Shifting Rod transmission carries over from the Aventador, but as you can see, the Centenario strikes an even more aggressive profile than its (relatively) more commonplace stablemate. View 19 Photos The bodywork is all fresh, with more vents and ducts than an air conditioner factory and – dare we say – more visual aggression than anything Sant'Agata has made to date... save for maybe the Veneno. Just check out those enormous intakes aft of the doors, for crying out loud. Also, check out the DTM-size rear diffuser, or the old-school air extractors in the bonnet that somehow still leave room for a pair of helmets in the luggage compartment. The whole thing is longer than the Aventador, and sits lower to the ground. Think of its relationship to the Aventador as the Reventon was to the Murcielago and you'll be on the right track. This particular example is rendered in exposed carbon fiber, but each will be made to the customer's specifications. Now before you go picturing yourself as one of those customers, we should point out that Lamborghini will only make 40 examples – 20 coupes and 20 more roadsters – and all of them have already been sold at a price of 1.75 million euros (before taxes), which works out to about $1.9 million at current exchange rates.
