Description

Chassis No. ZA9DU01B81LA12556

It's often said that car companies often "get it right" the first time, with the inaugural design iteration of an iconic model being its purest, most unencumbered execution. Certainly the same is often true of the final variant, the ultimate development of a longstanding model...this undoubtedly applies to the vaunted Lamborghini Diablo, as the VT 6.0 of 2000 and 2001 represented the swan song of the Diablo, which had been in production for the better part of a decade.

With Audi's acquisition of Lamborghini, a replacement for the Diablo was clearly on its way but with development timelines being rather tight, designer Luc Donckerwolke was tasked with refining the Diablo to its ultimate, finest iteration one last time, bridging the gap to the inbound Murciélago. Few would disagree that the VT 6.0 was the best Diablo yet, receiving major revisions to the interior and exterior design, as well as the underpinnings, rendering it a substantially more driver friendly and livable car than its predecessors. Attractive 18 inch wheels, a stylish center-mounted exhaust, a new 6.0-liter V12 putting out some 550 horsepower, and refined and revised carbon fiber bodywork with a new front fascia and quarter panels comprised just some of the notable improvements.

This particular Diablo is one of these highly desirable VT 6.0 models of which only 337 total examples were built. The clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report on file clearly indicates the car was delivered new to California, where the car remained until 2023, in the care of a variety of owners. A number of service visits are indicated over the years, as is a steady increase in mileage, which today stands at 12,474 miles at the time of cataloging. The car is finished in striking orange over a two-tone black and orange leather interior, which presents very well and is certainly commensurate in condition with a car of such low mileage. The Diablo is nothing short of an icon in Lamborghini's, and indeed Italy's, supercar history – the final iteration of the series, with low mileage, fantastic colors, and excellent overall condition is most certainly worthy of close consideration.
