1999 Lamborghini Diablo VT

Introduced in March of 1993 at the Geneva Motor Show, Lamborghini's new Diablo VT showcased a marked step forward for the model. 'VT' stood for 'Vicious Traction', which highlighted the car's new, variable four-wheel-drive system, allowing for a maximum of 40 percent of surplus torque to be transferred to the front axle if the system detected a loss of traction. Thanks to customer feedback, Lamborghini made a number of other welcome updates to the car, which amounted to changes to over 25% of the 6,000 components within the car. Amongst these were included a redesigned clutch, which brought about greater performance and ease of use, as well as deeper and wider seats, making the car more comfortable for both driver and passenger. Intakes were added at the front, near the driving lights, to assist with brake cooling. Power steering also helped to make the car easier to control, along with an active suspension with electronically adjustable dampers. 1999 saw the introduction of the second-generation Diablo VT, which was built in small numbers before the modernized Audi-backed Diablo 6.0 was released. Thus, 1999 Diablo VTs had open headlights, a redesigned interior, ABS brakes as standard, 18-inch wheels, and a 529-horsepower, 5.7-litre V-12. Production numbers for the 1999 VT Coupe are believed to be 34 far less than either the SV or VT Roadster offered in 1999. Lamborghini sold only 265 cars that year, most of them being SVs and VT roadsters. Today This 1999 Diablo VT shows just under 8,200 miles on its odometer and presents in concours condition.
