In its earliest form, the Lamborghini Diablo was truly the proper successor to the generational Countach.

The same man who penned the Countach (and the Miura), Marcello Gandini, created what he described as a car that would make "people be astonished when they saw" it.

Matching Gandini's aggressive proportions, the earliest cars were defiantly analog, with non-assisted rack-and-pinion steering and no ABS.

Taming the Diablo's 492 PS from its naturally aspirated 5.7-liter V12 was purely a matter of driver talent, as all that power was sent exclusively to the massive 335/35 ZR-17 rear tires.



This exceptional early Diablo, hailing from the second year of production, is surely one of the finest examples available anywhere in the world.

A left-hand drive, French-delivery example, chassis number 12440 was completed in late-1991, finished in Diablo Rosso over a Champagne leather interior with Noisette carpets.
