I hate to let it go but up for sale is my Corey Davis 1999 Lamborghini Diablo Roadster replica. I saw a Corey Davis Roadster that recently sold on Ebay for $15,500 in similar state of completion and parts PLUS they wanted an additional $3,500 for extra Lamborghini parts. I’m offering mine for a much better price and including all the parts I have to go with the car. The car is located in Newark, DE.

Basics:

This is built on a combination of a tubular chassis with a Fiero tub. The previous owner stated that this was a Chassis Works chassis bought directly from the owner of Chassis Works in Nevada. The Corey Davis body was picked up from Florida. I have the title for the Fiero that was used.  The body has been mounted and the doors are hung. The doors open and close but still need some sanding to create a little bit more of a gap between the doors and the body. Electric door poppers have been installed. They are the largest door poppers you can get. Power window actuators have been installed as well so the car will have working power windows when completed. The glass has not yet been installed. The interior has been fitted but not yet mounted. The gauges have just been set in as well but the tachometer, fuel gauge and volt meter have been hooked up to monitor the car when running. I would recommend re-weld the windshield frame a little better and dropping the radiator frame down an inch or two so that the front hook will close. Here is a link to the build thread of the original builder:

Engine/Drivetrain:

It came with a 4.9 Cadillac V8 engine with an automatic 4t60E transmission. The car did not run when I bought it but I have been able to get it running and it will fire up every time. It runs strong and very responsive. When I added water and ran the car it never seemed to get hot or overheat but I did find that it appears that the water has started leaking into the engine oil so I believe the head gasket is bad. There is an additive that can be added into the coolant to help seal that up or the engine can be rebuilt or another engine can be picked up from a you-pull-it salvage yard for about $400. I can’t seem to get the transmission to get into gear so I don’t know what is up with that. I haven’t checked into it yet. I’m not a transmission guy so usually if they go bad I just change them rather than try and fix them. The local you-pull-it salvage yard near me sells them for about $350. The engine and transmission are very easy to work on and there is TONS of space to work around the drive train. There are conversions that can be done to put an LT1 engine on the 4t60E transmission if interested in that option. The possibilities are endless. I recently installed new axles, steel braided brake lines, BLACK vented and slotted rotors, calipers, metallic brake pads and polyurethane bushing in the rear. It also has adjustable coilover suspension with 450lbs springs in the rear which is why the car looks so low to the ground right now.

Extras:

There are TONS of parts to go with this car. I have most everything to finish the car. I’d say about 90% of the parts plus a lot of extra parts that can be kept on hand as extras or can be resold to make some of your money back. There are too many parts to list but I’ve got Diablo side glass (don’t have the windshield or back glass), Viper car alarm with remote doors, new 18” chrome rims, hinges, latches, gauges, steering wheel, TWO radios (1 is a radio DVD with back-up camera option-not included), amps, subs, boxes and speakers, Lamborghini badges, lights, and enough little parts to keep you busy for a while. The DVD radio is currently installed in my Fiero which I will uninstall at the time the auction ends.  I have a spreadsheet that I tried to maintain of a running parts list on hand. It doesn’t have every little nut and bolt but it has most everything else. There are a couple of fiberglass pieces missing. I don’t have the interior A-pillars or the piece that goes around the windshield. I’m also missing the inner pieces of the trunks. Nothing to vital to the completion of the car and can be created out of fiberglass or even wood. There are a lot of Lamborghini parts as well. I have the 6.0 tail lights but if you wanted the regular Diablo lights you could sell the 6.0 lights to make some money back to buy those. I can provide the parts list as well as a list I have of useful links to parts I planned on picking up or wanted as well as the prices. That should help save the buyer from having to try and figure out what parts are needed as well as figuring out where to find them.

Disclaimer-the wheels on the back DO NOT go with the car. Those are Chromadora rims for my MERA that I am using in place of the mock-up rims that came with the car. Two of the mock up rims had wheels and two didn’t so I just threw those on for now. The old rims will be put back on once the car is sold.

I have done a bit of mechanical work but I haven’t done much of the body work. I can answer any questions to the best of my knowledge and will provide all the receipts and paperwork that I have. My records are very detailed. There is over $20,000 invested in the car and over 2,000 hours of labor invested as well. This is a greatly discounted deal for anyone who dreamed about owning their own Lambo roadster.

Please ask any questions you may have PRIOR to bidding. These auctions cost money every time they have to be listed so please do your due diligence prior to bidding. I’m easy going and will do the best I can to answer any questions.  I am going the extra distance to post lots of pics as well as a video going over some of the car. I am your eyes and ears. Here is a YouTube video just posted:

Payment:

There is a $500 deposit due within 48 hours and the balance is due within 7 days. I will accept cash and PayPal. Credit cards can be used to pay the balance through PayPal. Other payment options that can be considered are personal unsecured loans if your credit is good or you can get a loan from your 401k. You can also bum it from your rich friend. Whatever option is used to pay for the car needs to be secured BEFORE the auction ends. I will make a sweet and rare Ebay deal to anyone who can pay in cash. PayPal charges a 2-3% fee for using their services so anyone who pays in cash and picks up the car I will offer a 1% discount off of the final selling price to anyone who shows up with all cash (aside from the initial deposit of course).

Pick up or Delivery:

Once the car is paid for the car can be picked up just about any time. I’d like to have the car picked up within 2 weeks of the end of the auction. I can be flexible if more time is needed to pick up the car as long as it was paid for prior. There are A LOT of parts in tubs and a few boxes. There are also a lot of loose fiberglass pieces so a pick-up truck and a four wheel car dolly would be recommended. I would be willing to deliver the car and the parts within 200 miles of my zip code (19702) for free ONLY if the buy-it-now feature is used. That would be something that would need to be discussed prior to the auction ending as I’m just a guy that can get my hands on a truck and will have to rent a 4 wheeled dolly. Having to back a car dolly down a complicated or narrow driveway doesn’t excite me much if you have one. I would also be willing to meet someone in the middle if they are coming from a distance of more than 200 miles.

Good luck and again, ask questions, prepare funds now so that you are ready to pay when the auction ends. Buyer who fails to follow through will be reported to Ebay and given negative feedback. Anyone with 0 feedback or excessive negative feedback (less than 80%) needs to contact me prior to bidding.

2025 Lamborghini Urus to drop gas-only model, go PHEV-only

Mon, Jun 26 2023

After introducing the first hybrid to the brand this year in the Revuelto, Lamborghini's transformation takes two more big steps next year. Autocar reports that toward the end of 2024, the Urus will switch to a PHEV-only powertrain. We've known for a while there was an electrical cord headed to the Urus' flanks, but we didn't expect Lamborghini would give up the pure ICE variant. Brand honcho Stephan Winkelmann confirmed to Autocar the engine will be a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, but didn't give output figures. A 2021 report in Car magazine — back when the purported Urus PowerHybrid was due in 2022 — predicted the engine in question is coming from Porsche and would produce about 660 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque. The horse count would rise with help from a 168-hp electric motor in the transmission. However, the gearbox's internals wouldn't allow any more than 660 lb-ft. That's still a perfectly fine number; the 6.5-liter V12 and three electric motors in the new Revuelto "only" throw a combined 783 lb-ft. Today's Urus romps with a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 making 657 horsepower and 627 lb-ft. in both S and track-focused Performante trims. Theoretically, the Urus PHEV could crank that to about 830 hp and 660 lb-ft. The additional power would be partially offset by additional weight, as much as 551 pounds if Car is correct. This SUV would carry on until 2029, when an all-electric version ushers in a second generation. The Lamborghini Huracan successor is expected to debut before the PHEV Urus but go on sale about the same time as the Urus. Since that successor will use an adapted version of the engine headed to the Urus mated to the transmission in the Revuelto, we expect the release of vital details to begin as soon as the new baby coupe makes its introduction, thought to be around next spring.  To hear Winkelmann talk, we're ruminating now on the last hurrah of old-school, visceral, ICE-powered Lamborghinis. The brand has a high-riding battery-electric 2+2 GT penned in to debut in 2028 with about 300 miles of range. That will be the next big sign of things to come. He told Autocar, "You go with the most difficult legislation, which is the US, and is really California. Other states adopt CaliforniaÂ’s rules — typically big cities and thatÂ’s where we sell cars. ... Even if it [legislation] is not banning EVs, taxation will be a killing factor.

Bertone's Lamborghini-V12-powered minivan was ahead of its time

Wed, Feb 5 2020

PARIS — Italian design house Bertone traveled to the 1988 edition of the Turin auto show (which was still a big deal in the late 1980s) to unveil a Lamborghini-powered design study. This wasn't unusual, as the two companies had worked together for decades, but the Genesis concept turned every head in the convention center because it was a van. Now it's turning heads again this week at the Retromobile Show in Paris. Bertone's styling and prototype-building teams allegedly spent a total of 30,000 hours making the Genesis look more futuristic than the minivans many kids carpooled to school in during the late 1980s, and much sportier. It needed to tick both boxes. It was a concept car, so it had captivate the public's attention, and it was powered by a 455-horsepower, 5.2-liter V12 borrowed from the Countach Quattrovalvole, so looking the part was a must. The mighty, front-mid-mounted 12 channeled its power to the rear wheels through a rather lame three-speed automatic transmission provided by Chrysler, which owned Lamborghini at the time. Sliding doors gave the rear passengers access to one of the more unusual interiors we've seen. There were two front-facing seats positioned over the rear wheels, and a single rear-facing chair in the middle of the interior. The front passengers faced forward, as you'd expect, but they could also move their seat cushion around to look at the folks riding in the back. Someone still needed to drive, so this configuration was best used when parked. While naming the concept Genesis was a little bit optimistic on Bertone's part, putting a Lamborghini engine in a minivan with butterfly doors was a courageous move. It was ahead of its time, too, because blob-shaped vans are a dime a dozen at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and they're almost universally welcomed as the transportation of the future. Bertone may not have had autonomous technology to play with, but it had a V12.

Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato prototype spied testing in the snow

Wed, Jan 19 2022

Back in the summer of 2019, which seems like so much longer than two and a half years ago at this point, Lamborghini showed an interesting concept called the Huracan Sterrato. It was a lifted, widebody version of the mid-engine supercar, and its name literally translated to dirt. It was quite cool, and surprisingly grounded. And it must've been received well not just by us, but possibly customers, because these spy photos seem to indicate Lamborghini is working on a production model. There are a few indicators, but the most clear is the fact this test car has a noticeably taller ride height than its pavement-pounding predecessors. The concept, for reference, had an extra 1.85-inches of ground clearance. Furthermore, the prototype is sporting roof rails like those seen on the concept. Some other interesting additions that may or may not indicate plans for the production car include the skid plate up front, the additional lighting on the hood, and a new roof scoop up top. They're all clearly temporary additions, but the concept had bodywork that suggested some sort of skid plate, as well as auxiliary lighting. The roof scoop is a bit of a head-scratcher, though. We're not one to turn down a sweet mid-engine supercar scoop, but roof rails would seem to suggest carrying stuff on the roof, which would seem to directly block said scoop. On the other hand, that scoop could provide cleaner air when out in the dirt. Missing from the concept are the fat fender flares, but that's not too much of a surprise. We would expect the powertrain is basically the same as that of the Huracan Evo with a naturally aspirated V10 and all-wheel drive. It will probably have specific driving modes that adjust the traction and stability control systems for sporty, slippery driving conditions. We could also see the car being shown sometime either this year or next year, since it will likely be based on the current Huracan. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
