In the mid-1980s, Lamborghini focused their efforts on the development of a worthy successor to the Countach. The result of these efforts was the Diablo - a wide, low, and futuristic supercar that could reach a top speed of 202mph. As the first of Lamborghini’s production cars to reach over 200mph, the Diablo was aptly named after a ferocious bull that fought an epic battle with 'El Chicorro' in Madrid 1869. When Chrysler Corporation bought Lamborghini in 1987, its management team was unhappy with the original Diablo design created by Marcello Gandini, the original designer contracted for the project, and commissioned its own team in Detroit to redesign the car. Gandini was so unimpressed and disappointed by Chrysler’s "softened" design that he later brought his original design to life in the Cizeta-Moroder V16T. Despite Gandini’s displeasure with Chrysler, he was rehired by the company, resuming his design position, and the Diablo was born. The Diablo was presented to the public for sale on January 21, 1990 with a sticker price of $210,000 (or $422,000 adjusted for inflation) and quickly became a brand icon as a favorite among car enthusiasts worldwide. Compared to its Countach predecessor, the Diablo is about 12” longer, more aerodynamic, and offers increased interior space and visibility. An optional feature of the Diablo was the rear wing. This wing was simply for appearance; it provided no additional downforce and even slightly reduced the car’s top speed. Diablo production lasted from 1990-2001 with several variations produced throughout those 11 years. These variations greatly contributed to the success of the Diablo, resulting in nearly 3,000 vehicles sold. Undoubtedly, the Diablo proved itself a highly valuable and uniquely distinguishable vehicle in the legendary Lamborghini lineup.
