Lamborghini officially replaced the Countach when it unveiled the Diablo in Monte Carlo in January of 1990. The Diablo was introduced under Lamborghini’s brief period of Chrysler ownership, preserving but refining its layout, smoothing out the body’s humps and bumps, and improving occupant accommodations. Bodywork was now an aluminum alloy with composite pieces used for the trunk and engine cover, and square section tubing was used for the car's tube frame. The Chrysler-designed interior offered comfort and room that a Countach owner might find difficult to imagine. Power now came from an enlarged 5.7-liter, 492-hp version of the long-serving Lamborghini 60-degree V-12. The blazing red Diablo seen here is the epitome of Italian design. It is fitted with a tan leather interior that is in excellent condition overall with minimal wear only seen on the seat bolsters. A five-speed transmission shifter looks right at home in the sculpted console. An Alpine sound system with CD player is also found inside. Michelin Pilot tires have been mounted on the stylish factory alloy rims. Overall, this is a fine example of the Diablo; the future of Lamborghini collectibles.
