Last Lamborghini Diablo special edition up for sale at Barrett-Jackson
Way back in 2001, Lamborghini had introduced one of its most successful models, the Diablo limited edition, which saw only 40 cars to be ever made for sale. Out of all those, one of them has shown up on the auction black at Barrett Jackson, which supposedly is also the last of those 40 models. Though the estimate hasn't been unveiled yet, with regard to its bid price, but with the popularity of the Italian car maker’s brand, it is definitely expected to fetch much higher, considering the condition the vehicle is in.
Like the Sesto Elemento, Aventador, and the Superleggara model, Lamborghini has used most of the similar design and body formation of these other models. A closer look could perhaps differentiated them, but it can be safely assumed that they are from the same family of cars; Lamborghini. The differentiating factors were the 6-liter V12 engine, which had a power output of 550 HP, and worked on a 6-speed automatic transmission. In 3.9 seconds, it zoomed from 0-100 km/ph with the capacity to go up to 322 km/ph at the higher end. No wonder, it was every speed loving car enthusiasts dream car in a lot of ways.
Apart from that, the aesthetics were equally unique. With the Marrone Eklipsis (sunset maroon) paint job on the outside, there comes a very distinct identity as compared to the others. Carbon fiber weaving and titanium threads are as integral a part of the body, built on aerodynamic principles, encompassing the rear spoiler even. Inside the car, there is leather upholstery dolled up in coffee color with titanium linings along with high-end multi-media equipment like the Alpine DVD navigation system. To top it up all, this particular vehicles comes with just 32 km of total usage till sale, which means that of what the new owner gets, is virtually new and unused. So, if you have the hang of it, and the cash to spare the Scottsdale 2012 Barrett Jackson Auction is where you would need to be.
