1998 Affolter Diablo Evolution GT1

Ronald Affolteris the owner of a respected Lamborghini dealership, but he also likes to customize cars. One of them unveiled in 1998 was the Diablo Evolution GT1. He completely redesigned the car, including a new front and rear bumper, and changing just about everything that could be changed.
Exterior modifications are extensive, with every body panel being modified or replaced. Pop-up headlights were removed and fixed ones took their place. A custom wing has been added and side intakes were enlarged, and twin-ducts feed air to the engine.




The Affolter Diablo Evolution GT1 is powered by a twin-turbo V12 engine that delivers 630 hp. The GT1 is a RWD driven car, with Mid-Engine engine location. The V12 engine is mated with a a 5-Speed Manual transmission.




he supercar is capable of making the 0 to 60 mph sprint in just 3.5 seconds and can hit a top speed of 217 mph.







The GT1 was built only on demand at half the price of a McLaren F1, but with four small turbo’s mounted giving the same power as the F1, and to make things even better, Affolter even built an Evolution GT1 Roadster edition, open top motering with even more exotic looks than the standard Lamborghini Roadster.

1993 Lamborghini Diablo SE 30

In 1988, Lamborghini built the Countach Anniversario, to celebrate the 25 years of existence of Automobili Lamborghini SpA, in 1993 Lamborghini again designed and built a special car to celebrate their 30th anniversary, the Diablo SE30 was presented during the third Lamborghini Day in September 1993 in Sant’Agata, surrounded by about 140 other Lamborghini’s from all over the world.

The Diablo SE, where SE stands for Special Edition, could easily be called the sportiest car Lamborghini built in a long time, mainly because the SE was meant to be entered in GT-championships around the world by installing the JOTA upgrade kit on it.

Weight Adjustments

That’s why a lot of weight was saved in the design, the side windows were replaced by synthetic glass and only a small portion of them opened by turning a knob inside the door, no more power windows for the Diablo SE.

The small Carbon Fibre seat would grab you and thanks to the special upholstery, you wouldn’t move an inch in them, also because the four-point harness with 30th anniversary logo’s held you very tight. The steering wheel was also modified, it became smaller and the bottom part of it was flat, to ease the entry into the car, but since the power-steering had been abandoned, the small steering wheel wasn’t easy to turn, although the badge used on this new steering wheel was exactly the same as the one used inside the 350 GTV thirty years ago.

The electronically adjustable suspension of the VT had been abandoned on this pure sports car, and a ’normal’ suspension was used, they even managed to improve the Diablo’s road holding capabilities. On the actual production Diablo SE, Lamborghini would include a standard traction control system with four settings, one of which could simply turn the system off.

1993-2001 Lamborghini Diablo VT

With 550bhp to handle, the 209mph Diablo VT (Viscous Traction) must be thankful for its 4 wheel drive system. If the rear wheels begin to break traction, up to 30\% of drive is sent to the front wheels via a centre differential. Speed sensitive power steering and adjustable suspension dampers were improvements over the standard model.

2000 saw new owners Audi rework the VT with a new 6 litre engine, gorgeous integrated bodywork and a total interior makeover making this the most attractive Diablo of all. Production ceased in late 2001 to open the way for Lamborghini's new flagship the Murcielago.
