Inspired by the Diablo SE30 Jota , the new management wanted to offer even more extreme (and expensive) variants of the Diablo, in the form of limited series, likely to attract the wealthiest collectors. The Sant’Agata factory built the Diablo VT-R in 1996. Much less well known – only 3 (!) of the 5 originally planned were produced – the VT-R remains one of the brand’s last follies before… its new takeover. It’s quite possible that Lamborghini had some Diablo SE30 parts in stock, so the idea was to re-use them on a Diablo VT chassis, with the exception of the distinctive little windows and wheels, which were borrowed from the Diablo VT roadster. The Diablo VT-R uses a modified version of the 5.7L V12, capable of propelling the Super Diablo from all 4 wheels at 328 Km/h.
