 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!

The Lamborghini Urus is the ultimate super-SUV, and you can win one here

Fri, Jun 4 2021

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. No donation or payment is necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze. The stats: 641 horsepower. 0–60 in just over 3 seconds. A top speed of 190 miles per hour. All of those sound impressive in a performance car, but in a five-seat SUV, theyÂ’re bonkers. That kind of performance is what you get when youÂ’re behind the wheel of the 2021 Lamborghini Urus. Normally one of these super-SUVs will cost you right around a quarter of a million dollars, but for those of us who donÂ’t have that kind of cash, just head on over to Omaze, where theyÂ’re giving away a Urus, along with $20,000 in cash, with all taxes and delivery fees covered. Win a 2021 Lamborghini Urus and $20,000 - Enter at Omaze HereÂ’s what we said about the Urus when we first got behind the wheel: “With a full day of track, street and dirt driving ahead of us, our first impressions arrive hard and fast at the 2.54-mile Vallelunga circuit near Rome. It feels strange to sit behind the wheel of a Lamborghini with a turbocharged V8 and room for five, but the whip-like acceleration from a standstill leaves you neck-strained and satisfied. This thing is wickedly quick, with a claimed 0-to-62-mph time of 3.6 seconds. It might be quicker than that in the real world. That's speedier than a Gallardo, which isn't saddled with a 4,843-pound curb weight. Drop the car's numerical mass from your mind, and Urus also feels shockingly nimble in corners. Aided by active roll stabilization, an air suspension system that can lower the car up to 1.6 inches, active damping, torque vectoring, and sticky Pirelli Corsa rubber, the Urus manages to dance its way breezily through corners despite its relative heft. The standard 10-piston carbon ceramic brakes deliver phenomenal stopping power, though it sometimes felt like there was some additional brake assist that was boosting the slowdown efforts, making it difficult to finely modulate brake release during corner entry. “Dip the throttle and 641 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque gets laid down with a whole lot of help from the computers; there are some tight corners at Vallelunga that would have yielded understeer from a more analog vehicle, but the Urus's all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering and torque vectoring enable a point-and-shoot approach at the track.

Lamborghini Urus SUV to be assembled in Slovakia

Sat, 26 Apr 2014

Lamborghini is known for many, many things. Beautiful, exotic and expressive styling, extreme performance and eye-watering prices are Lambo hallmarks. But the Raging Bull is perhaps best known for building its cars by hand... in Slovakia?
No, it's known for building its cars in Italy. But with the Urus SUV, which is already a departure (although not an unprecedented one) from your traditional Lamborghini, the brand could move construction outside the boot-shaped country, and east, into the former Soviet state.
The move will see the Urus, which will ride on a modified version of the Volkswagen Group's MLB platform, screwed together alongside the VW Touareg, Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne and Bentley's eventual SUV at VAG's Bratislava factory. In terms of consolidating production in one factory, it's clearly a clever move. Still, we wonder if setting up Urus production outside of the Sant'Agata factory and in the sprawling Bratislava facility won't lessen the specialness inherent in Lamborghini products.

Watch this Koenigsegg CCX hit 211 mph on a runway, outpacing McLaren's P1

Tue, 03 Jun 2014

Vmax200 in in England organizes events where those who care to show up with a supercar can run them down the two-mile runway at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground. Evo attended the latest event, bringing an impressively green Lamborghini Aventador to test its girth and gaping vents against other precious metals like the McLaren P1 and F1, Ferrari F12 Berlinetta and Enzo, a Porsche Carrera GT and enough 911 Turbos to start a dealership. Speaking of those Porsches, nine of the top ten slots in the top speed competition are claimed by modified 911 Turbos.
A monochrome Swede ruled them all, though, a black-and-white Koenigsegg CCX setting fire to the speed trap run after run, hitting 211 miles per hour at its quickest. It was followed by, surprise, a 911 GT2 modified by 9E that did 210 mph. You can watch the EVO video below, GT Spirit has a bigger breakdown of the day, and we've included another vid showing the tandem launch of the CCX and McLaren F1.
