Maybe this is why Lamborghini now only makes cars with all-wheel drive. It seems this driver forgot about the Diablo’s rear weight bias. Sometimes the price one pays for showing off is the repair bill. But unlike some others, at least this one can be repaired.
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.
The 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.
“El Diablo” is almost a forgotten car. Can you remember when was the last time you heard news about it? Well, Hamann decided to bring back to front page this old supercar with its latest program for the Lamborghini Diablo > More
We didn’t have news about a Lamborghini crashed for quite a while now, and we were happy, you thought that maybe the other ones were just bad luck. But well now, another one is gone.

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.
Lamborghini has certainly built its share of wild and outrageous cars over the last three decades, in 1993 it followed up its gull-wing Countach with the Diablo. The Diablo VT could exceed 200mph and sprint to 60mph in 5.1 seconds thanks to its combination of V12 power and four wheel drive.
