One of the most beautiful cars ever made

This is the most classic supercar look in automotive history. So timeless and irreplaceable. This car will never be forgotten. I seriously want to own one someday. After the lifespan of this car the supercar driving experience became only more and more neutered, only more and more diluted and sugar-coated. This car tries to beat your ass if you wanna drive it fast. Fuck these modern laptops on wheels that drive for you.

It's interesting. I didn't like the Diablo when it came out. I thought it was too outrageous. Now, I must say that the design of the original Diablo is one of the most beautiful out there. Proportions are spot on. It looks stunning in person.

Love love the diablo, the stance, the presence, that wide ass. New cars are amazing but they just don’t have the presence these used to have back in the day

The proportions and stance on that car are perfect. Hard to find anything even today that is as well designed with clean lines.

30 years have passed and still looks agressive and modern.

Ever since I first laid eyes on this car in the 1994 classic "The Need For Speed", it's remained one of my favorite eye candies. It has such a design that holds up beautifully 3 decades later.

I'm not much of a Lamborghini fan but this tickles my pickle pretty thoroughly, what an experience that must be!

That clutch must have been hanging by a thread. 0-60 in 5.4 shouldn’t have even been recorded. Altitude or not.

Drove my Diablo VT Roadster for 10 years and put 76,000 miles on it. One of the best and most reliable exotics I've owned.

Marcello Gandini's original design was actually pretty rough. It was Chrysler's own stylists who refined it into what people know and love as the Diablo. Marcello thought it was too soft, but in hindsight his design would have looked very dated, very fast if left unaltered. What Chrysler did to it made the car perfect for the 90's and into the early-2000's.

A worn clutch is a worn clutch. It brings up a good point though: most magazine numbers require launches that will destroy your car, especially if it's all wheel drive (or has a tall 1st gear in the case of the Diablo), so at the end of the day they rarely mean much in the real world.

Love the old School High End Sports Cars! Love the 6 speed gated shifter!!! I wish regular sports cars of today came with one.

AWESOME VIDEO!

Still my favorite car ever! Looks insane even today. So much more elegant than a Countach. These were the days when exotics were truly rare. Anytime I'd see one it was an event. The new supercars are nothing by comparison and they are no longer exotic and rare.

Had one and consider it better than my Murcielago that replaced it. Such a purist experience.

Amazing looking car! Still love the Countach more. As far as ownership....I’ll stick with my C5 six speed.

back in the 90's when i was out for late night walks i used to pop into a car dealership that had a black Lamborghini Diablo in the lobby. i would go inside and just ogle the car from every angle. and no one ever came out into the lobby. it was like the place was deserted. i'm sure they were monitoring the lobby on camera. it was just nice to spend time all alone with the car even if i could not touch it or drive it. still my favorite car in 2022

First car I ever saw that made me look at cars differently..

Compare this to the MotorWeek Supra Turbo test and you realize how far ahead the Supra was for it's time in 93. The Supra Turbo is not an exotic or even a super car like the Lambo, it's a GT. However it was a very well engineered efficient performance car that even moderately modified is competitive or surpasses most new performance cars on the road today. Still looks awesome as well. I doubt Toyota will ever make a car like that again.
