Found this beauty on a ride the other day. The owner was really cool and gave me a run down on it... '95 Diablo VT with AWD and just under 500hp. He just had it shipped in from AZ and removed the engine covers to fix a few little things here and there. He was really cool and let us take all the pics we wanted. Enjoy!

:) 492 horsepower IIRC. Got to ride in one a long time ago, college buddy of mine had a rich dad into cars. It was the fastest car I'd ever been in at the time... Until about half an hour later, when he took me out in his dad's Hennessey Venom 600R which was so fast with 2wd it was scary. I like the later ones they made, with the removable roof.

To put it in perspective, 5.7L Corvette only had 300 at the time. :)

They eventually got it up around 550 before switching to the 6.0L engine.

LOL... Was going to point that out too.

Sick car. I'm surprised by the lacking interior. Guess I shouldn't be.

I can't understand why auto makers don't make more mid engine cars.

No matter how much power, still a very impressive car. Such a beauty too, I've only ever seen a Diablo once before from a far distance. I appreciated seeing one up close.

I had never heard of the VT till one day on my way home from work when i got to run a purple one with MA plate 'lambo'. Def a cool car, they made a rwd version too iirc.

Yeah, the knob was hideous. Previous owner put it on...

I love how you're all looking at that obnoxious reflection of the owner :lo5l:

Very nice car.

I may be biased, but tell me that for the same year, our cars still hold a modern, un-outdated look? Same with a lowered, nice wheeled NSX or Supra. Says a lot about Japanese cars of that time.
