You Can Buy George Foreman's Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster, And It Comes With A Free Grill
It’s easy to forget that Lamborghini made a roadster version of the Diablo. After all, only 200 or so VT Diablos were built, out of the supercar’s total production run of just under 3000. However, after drinking in the example seen here, I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. Looks pretty damn awkward with its roof up, no?
If you want one regardless, Mecum has just the thing for you at its upcoming Monterey auction. It’s a 1997 model, it’s done just 1907 miles, and it has a famous owner: former World Heavyweight boxing champ/purveyor of fat-reducing table-top grills, George Foreman.
For an estimated $285,000 - $325,000, you’ll get a 5.7-litre V12 pushing 485bhp to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox, a removable carbonfibre roof, and some rather lovely tan leather in the cabin. As a bonus, you also get autographed boxing gloves, and - we’re not making this up - a signed example of one of Foreman’s trademark grills. If that isn’t a good deal, I don’t know what is.
It’ll be auctioned off to the highest bidder in Monterey on 20 August.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

But where’s the wing?
I think the grill is the engine.
How can someone only drive 1907 miles in a Lamborghini?
Its pathetic…😑
Correction, a Lamborghini Diablo VT roadster. What a shame. I bet the ECU never saw anything above 50% throttle.
The “grill” they included.
I was going to say something like that. :)
It’s all about marketing!
You forgot to call someone to sell this products…
It’s a win-win! You get a mad grill and a Diablo included!
Mate I’m not buyin’ some car that belongs to a fokin boxer
(reads book about muhammad ali)
If it was in a dealership they will tell you the previous owner is an old lady and you will never know it was a boxer
I was at a Mecum auction and the only bonus you got was the sudden realization that you aren’t getting that money back.
World’s most expensive grill (Free Lamborghini Included)
being honest i was expecting for something like this. (really)
so you can grill some meat on traffic jams
