You'll Want This $1 Million Lamborghini Diablo GT For The Roof Scoop Alone
There’s no such thing as a subtle Lamborghini Diablo, but there’s a clear sliding scale of lunacy when you look at the different versions of the supercar. And at the pointest end of that scale is the GT.
For this limited-run model, Lamborghini replaced the already lairy bodywork with all-new carbonfibre panels, to dramatic effect. We have huge vents and intakes, the whole rear bumper swapped for one giant diffuser, and - our favourite bit - a roof scoop. Because it’s science fact that roof scoops are awesome.
The standard car’s four-wheel drive system was ditched, meaning the V12 powered the rear wheels and the rear wheels only, via a five-speed manual gearbox. The engine wasn’t left alone either: displacement was bumped from 5.7 to 6.0 litres, with fancy new parts like titanium con rods and a lighter crankshaft added into the mix.
The result? 575bhp, and one hell of a soundtrack - Diablo GTs came with a ruder exhaust poking out under that massive new diffuser.
Lamborghini only made 80 of these cars, each sold with a carbonfibre briefcase. Neat.
The example we’re looking at today has - sadly - barely been used since it left the factory at Sant’Agata Bolognese. It’s covered just 276km, and we get the sneaking suspicion that figure won’t increase much under the new owner.
It’s due to go under the hammer at RM Sotheby’s May Monaco auction, with an upper estimate of €875,000 ($1,056,203, £768,000). And yes, the briefcase is included…

If I had the money to buy this, I’d track day the hell out of it.
Agree
and then gladly pay to repair it and track it again
And good news it still has the gorgeous 300ZX headlights.
and the little carbon fiber lip on them, can’t forget that
reminds me a lot of an F40 from that front view

Hold my Italian wine
Lamborghini used to make wine
the hood scoop is 999,999 dollars and the car itself is $1
PLOT TWIST OMG
So can I just buy the car without the scoop?
I really don’t understand why it’s sad it wasn’t used. I hope this thing stays in a garage until the end of time.
I really hope this comment was sarcastic…
Matt robinson can see the future and read minds for sure, i concluded it from the title, he already knew that i would want it
We have known this since yesterday
There she is sitting all prettily, looking mean, but pretty.

loud moaning*
Need for speed Roof Scoop anyone?
“It covered just 276km”
I TOTALLY did not expect that at all
