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! |

Audi considering turbo option for longer, wider Hurac?n-based R8
Mon, 10 Mar 2014The debut of the Lamborghini Huracán was (and remains) big news in and of itself, but equally as exciting is the imminent arrival of the Audi R8, which the Huracán presages. While the two will share a common architecture, don't expect that new R8 will simply be a cheaper version of the Huracán (like the current one arguably is to the Gallardo).
For one, the next R8 will be larger than the Huracán. According to emerging intelligence, Audi will make its sports car both longer and wider than the Lamborghini version. It'll also share the new Lambo's innovative carbon-fiber structure that will replace both the firewall and central tunnel. But to power it all, Audi will get more creative.
The next R8 will, like the current model and like the Huracán, offer a V10 engine at the top of the range. It will also offer the same 4.2-liter V8 as the outgoing model. But that won't be the end of the matter. Word has it that Audi is also working on a smaller, turbocharged engine to offer in certain markets that mandate smaller-capacity engines.
Stop everything, and appreciate the Lamborghini Miura's mechanical beauty
Fri, Feb 15 2019Everybody knows the Lamborghini Miura is one of the greatest automotive designs of all time. It's also known that the Miura's V12 heart is one of the greatest powertrains of all time. But there's more to a car than just the body and the engine. Celebrating the intricacies of manufacturing, Artist Fabian Oefner took his disintegrating cars series to new heights by using a real 1972 Miura SV to create stunning photos of the remarkable internals of the historic Lamborghini. In the past, Oefner has created fantastic museum-quality images by using scale model cars and suspending their parts to look like explosions of mechanical goodness. This Miura, however, is the real deal. A collector and friend contacted Oefner to suggest that a full restoration of the car would be a perfect opportunity to photograph the vehicle and create a life-sized version of his Disintegrating Cars series. The results are absolutely breathtaking. The original idea of the series was an exploration of time and reality. Oefner takes each part and suspends it from above to create an exposed three-dimensional examination of the car. Using a real vehicle, however, was a much different process. Creating his work in his studio was a calming and centering process for Oefner, whereas working on a real Lamborghini was much more time-sensitive and much more involved, with several mechanics working on the car. Such a complicated and involved procedure created a special bond between artist and subject. "At the end of the process, you know every single detail," Oefner said in the video above. "It's more like it's a person, if you want to say so. Every time I see the car, it's like, 'Oh, I know you!'" The art, which took two years of work and photography in the Sant`Agatha Lamborghini factory, allows enthusiasts to know the car better, too, as the final product uses 1,500 parts. See more detailed photos of the art and the work on Fabien Oefner's portfolio site.

2020 Lamborghini Urus Road Test | How many bags of steer manure can it haul?
Fri, May 15 2020The question posed in the headline probably got your attention, as a headline should. You might also be wondering how many wet, muddy golden retrievers the 2020 Lamborghini Urus can carry home from a swim. Or how many seat-kicking Girl Scouts will drop their ice cream cones as you fling them around in your Urus on their way to a field trip. Or how many board-feet you can load while on a Lamborghini lumber run to Home Depot. And the answer to all of the above is: Beats me. If you think I tried any of that in a car with a $200,000 base price — $270,000 as tested — then youÂ’d be almost as nuts as me if I had. Most of those activities were probably specifically forbidden in the fine print of the 18-page loan agreement anyway. Yes, the Lamborghini Urus is an SUV. (ItÂ’s pronounced “Ooh-rous,” by the way.) No, it is not that kind of SUV, the kind that has “utility” as its middle name. Nobody who buys this is going to get it anywhere close to fertilizer, mud, ice cream or splinters. Nobody is cross-shopping the Urus against a Highlander or Explorer. It is, instead, an extreme expression of the quest for more power, more luxury, and the craze for crossovers. Auto brands, as they are wont to do, are building the high-riding vehicles that people want, which happen to be vastly profitable. Ne plus ultra brands such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Lamborghini are not immune to that lure, and so they are now offering SUVs with arch luxury, uber performance and the most hoity brand cachet. Just wait until the Ferrari Purosangue hits the streets. And sure enough, the SUV formula works for the high rollers, too. Lamborghini sold more than 8,200 vehicles worldwide last year, an annual increase of 43%. And thatÂ’s because 5,000 of them were the Urus. The window sticker says 70% of the carÂ’s content is from Germany — put another way, itÂ’s mostly an Audi. But the 30% that is Lamborghini is what makes its base price nearly three times the $68,200 base price of the mechanically related Audi Q8. When the opportunity arose to drive a Urus for a weekend, I puzzled over what exactly to do with it. With more lowly SUVs or trucks in the press fleet, auto writers typically load and haul their families and stuff to see how well the utility vehicle in question does its job in everyday life. But thatÂ’s not possible with the Urus. You canÂ’t in good conscience get the thing dirty, or risk a scuff or scratch.
