This 200 MPH “open air” Diablo looks fast standing still. Truly one of world’s most outrageous exotic SUPERCARS ever produced. One hundred thirty-two Roadsters were built for US production between 1996 and 1999. The 1999 cockpit received a welcome makeover that truly made the last of the Roadsters’ a work of art {both inside and out}. The Lamborghini’s “driveability” was much improved during the last couple of years with variable valve timing that increased torque and horsepower to both the lower and upper RPM range. Larger wheels were also added that enabled larger rotors for an upgraded Brembo braking system along with standard ABS. Ground pounding 530 horsepower will take you to 60 MPH in first gear, and then over 100 MPH before you even shift to third! The carbon fiber roof {targa-type} is easily removed and extremely lightweight. The top can be snapped into place over the rear deck lid, so at a moment’s notice you can turn your Roadster back to a coupe. There is not a vehicle ever produced where a removable top actually became part of the “lines” of the automobile when it was removed. Pure Genius! There is getting caught in inclement weather with your top in the garage. The best of both worlds!
1999 Diablo’s had a completely redone interior from previous models with a new low flowing dash and redesigned airbags. There was an all new ergonomic center console with completely new guage and instrument clusters. The A/C and climate control was upgraded also. On the exterior, the outdated pop up headlights were replaced with more aerodynamic recessed lenses for 1999.
The 1999 model is the last production year for the Roadster, and along with the many cosmetic and performance upgrades would make it the choice of serious collectors.
