RARE 1997 1/2 LAMBORGHINI DIABLO ROADSTER

I AM SELLING MY GORGEOUS LOW MILEAGE DIABLO ROADSTER AS I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED IT WITH ANOTHER TOY. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ODOMETER FOR ALL DIABLO 'S ROADSTERS PRIOR TO 1999 READ IN KILOMETERS.


THE DIABLO ROADSTER MARKET IS GETTING READY TO TAKE OFF. PRICES HAVE RECENTLY BEEN ON THE RISE BASED ON RECENT MAJOR AUCTION RESULTS. THE DIABLO ROADSTER IS ONE OF THE MOST RARE SUPER CARS IN EXISTENCE AS THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY  450 DIABLO ROADSTERS EVER PRODUCED IN THE WORLD. OUT OF THOSE PRODUCED A VERY LIMITED NUMBER WERE SHIPPED TO THE STATES. THEY WERE PRODUCED IN 1997, 1997/1/2, 1998 AND 1999. THE 1997 1/2 WAS UPGRADED TO INCLUDE A PASSENGER AIR BAG. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC ROADSTERS EVER BUILT WITH THE LEGENDARY POP UP HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS A VERY DESIRABLE FEATURE GIVING THE CAR A CLASSIC LOOK.

THIS CAR DOES NOT GO UNNOTICED IN "FLY YELLOW". I AM VERY FASTIDIOUS SO I HAD SOME TOUCH UP RESTORATION DONE TO REPAIR COMMON PAINT CHIPS FROM NORMAL DRIVING AS IS PREVALENT WITH MOST OF THESE GROUND HUGGING HIGH END EXOTICS. THE CAR LOOKS FABULOUS!!. THERE IS ALSO A CLEAR BRA ON THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND SIDE MIRRORS.

THE PREVIOUS OWNER ADDED SEVERAL UPGRADES TO THIS BULL INCLUDING UPGRADED HEADERS AND EXHAUST. THE DIABLO EXHAUST TONE IS ONE OF THE MOST DISTINCT  AND VISCERAL SOUNDS OF ANY ITALIAN SPORTS CAR. THE UPGRADED EXHAUST ON THIS CAR EMPHASIZES IT EVEN THAT MUCH MORE.

MY CAR HAS A CLEAN CAR FAX AND RUNS AND DRIVES AS IT SHOULD. IT HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED AND CURRENTLY HAS A SMALL POWER STEERING LEAK THAT WILL BE CORRECTED BY AUTO CENTO IN ROCKVILLE MD BEFORE CAR IS PICKED UP.  I DRIVE IT TO CARS AND COFFEE ON A WEEKLY BASIS AND IT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. BID WITH CONFIDENCE AS YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

Lambo Urus to stay true to concept, but almost didn't happen

Wed, Jul 8 2015

Lamborghini has been making noise about adding a third model line for years, and it's finally going to happen now that the Urus concept has been approved for production. It'll likely be a while yet before all the details are sorted out and revealed to the public, but while visiting the factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Autoblog was able to glean some intriguing details about the Italian automaker's forthcoming crossover and its path it is taking from concept to production. "It's good to have heritage, but the LM002 is not the reference or the blueprint." - Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann We first saw the Urus concept back in 2012, and Lamborghini has been lobbying its parent company Volkswagen ever since for the go-ahead to put it into production. Now three years later, it finally has the green light. A company representative told Autoblog the production version looks "very" close to the concept. (No ground-up redesign here, then, like sister-brand Bentley did with its inaugural crossover project.) Speaking with a small group of journalists in Sant'Agata, the company's chief executive Stephan Winkelmann confirmed that "the SUV could be the [company's] first car with a turbo, and it could be the first car with a plug-in, if we have the opportunity to have more than one engine." The Urus (or however it's ultimately labeled for production) will also be decidedly geared towards on-road performance – unlike the Rambo Lambo on display in the museum next door. "It's good to have heritage," said Winkelmann, "but the LM002 is not the reference or the blueprint" for the new model. As to the question of why it has taken three years to get approval, and why it will take another three to put it into production, Winkelmann was frank: "Basically if you look at our numbers, we are a company which is growing at a fast pace, but we are very small," said the affable executive. "We had to find a way to almost double our efforts, because it's not the exchange of a model line, with the Gallardo and Huracan, it's adding a model line. And not out of 20 to come to 21 models, but from two to three is a major effort, and you have to have a rock-solid business case." "Putting 500 more people inside a company which is now at 1,200, you can imagine what it means. Doubling almost the size of the area here where we are sitting today. Investing hundreds and hundreds of millions.

Lamborghini shows off beautifully restored 350 GT

Wed, Feb 8 2017

It might not look much like Lamborghini's latest creations, such as the Aventador S, but this gorgeous grand tourer is a very important model in the company's history: its first production car. And this is an early one, one of the first 15 examples to roll off the line. It's getting some attention at the Retromobile Show in Paris thanks to its full restoration by Lamborghini's in-house restoration arm, Polo Storico. Polo Storico is a little like the Heritage divisions of Jaguar and Land Rover, and similar divisions at Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and others. The unit, based in Sant'Agata, gives customers the opportunity to have their classic Lamborghinis restored by the company's expert staff. It is, as you might imagine, expensive. Polo Storico has previously restored a Miura, an LM002, and a Countach. This particular 350 GT is chassis No. 0121, and it received 1,150 hours worth of bodywork and 780 hours of mechanical restoration – in particular, the cooling system for the 3.5-liter V12 was thoroughly checked over. The car was repainted with an original-type paint, and recreation Pirelli Cinturato tires were fitted to match what the car originally had. It'll be on display in Paris if you're in the neighborhood.

Weekly Recap: Autonomous driving goes commercial in Nevada

Sat, May 9 2015

Nevada granted Daimler Trucks North America the first license to run an autonomous commercial vehicle on public roads in the United States Tuesday, marking another milestone in the technology's rapid advancement. Gov. Brian Sandoval and Daimler truck chief Wolfgang Bernhard promptly used the license to lap Highway 15 near Las Vegas in a newly revealed Freightliner Inspiration Truck. It was a clear signal that autonomous driving is big-rig reality, though it's still a long way from widespread use. Nevada certified two of Daimler's Freightliner Inspiration Trucks, which use the company's Highway Pilot system with a stereo camera, radar, and lane-keeping collision-prevention features to regulate the brakes and steering. The radar component has a long-range sensor that can cover 820 feet at an 18-degree angle and a shorter-range unit that stretches 230 feet at a 130-degree angle. The Inspiration trucks are based on the existing Freightliner Cascadia Evolution model used on US roads. In addition to the autonomous technologies, it also has futuristic design cues, including blue lighting in the front and a new hood and grille. While there are only two Freightliner Inspiration trucks in existence, Daimler expects to bring the Highway Pilot system into mass-produced big rigs by 2025, in time to capitalize on the market's predicted growth. The German truckmaker predicts the global hauling market will triple by 2050, and the United States will be a key part of that growth. Trucks carry 69.1 percent the nation's domestic freight tonnage and hauled 9.7 billion tons of freight in 2013, according to the American Trucking Association. Daimler expects autonomous driving to augment this growth, and perhaps evolve the role of the truck driver. Still, the company points out autonomous tech is not meant to replace drivers, but to assist them and relieve fatigue and monotony on long hauls. The driver has to stay in control for passing, in city traffic, and when hooking up the trailer. The company said autonomous driving also offers the potential for improved fuel economy – tests showed a five-percent gain – and lower maintenance costs. Daimler also said the technology could reduce congestion on the road. Much of this is attributable to the constant flow of traffic, which is aided by autonomous driving. While the benefits are becoming increasingly apparent, autonomous technology is still met with skepticism.
