The First Diablo Versus The Last Diablo

[@GTcruzin]

Needed some rolling shots of the car while you where talking John. Would love to see the comparison side by side

[@dazzerj156]

Just what I commented definitely needed to see outside comparison

[@JordanAstra]

agreed 100%

[@saltysailor141]

I agree! I was lucky enough to see the 2 different eras side-by-side. Las Vegas it was the owner of a small time casino. Ironically he had Both in yellow. Mind you, this was almost 20 years ago. If memory serves? He bought both of them for under $200,000. Total!! Oh how times have changed.....

[@WeAreCurated]

Wow! Thank you!!

[@sebastianblaga9030]

Very intuitive and informative video. You should have filmed more with the exterior of both models side by side so we can also see the slight changes from the 1991 Diablo to the 2001 Diablo. Maybe next time, thank you for your hard work and dedication.

[@soundanswer]

John your enthusiasm for these cars is freaking CONTAGIOUS! I love it!!

Before studying history of Diablo when making scale model, I didn't Know they were so many evolutions of the car. A lot of details have changed. Thanks for your video which explain some of the difference.

Awesome video John! Thanks for sharing these cars with the world

[@mouse5178]

Amazing video. I use to own a blue 96 5.7 VT and will own my dream 6.0 one day

[@mouse5178]

I found it easy to drive maybe because it was a later car with 4wd and power steering, I even drove it in the snow ❄️

Had the pleasure to drive a later Diablo 6.0....and one way to describe it- unforgettable

[@AmericanBuiltExotics]

The Diablo 6.0 is my favorite super car of all time! Thanks for sharing.

[@BaruKz]

This kind of information doesn't come every day it's this knowledge and passion that brings a detailed video about this Supercar. I totally agree with you the 6.0 is my favourite, that suttle changes just made it more complete and desirable.

[@MaxCesem]

One of my all time favourites, thanks for sharing all that knowledge!

Thank you John ... Sharing these cars AND your incredible knowledge with your YT audience!!!!

[@rongosciniak264]

Beautiful cars... When I was a valet parker for 10 year I drive a few 1991,92 Diablos... yeah they are raw. but great. Thank you for sharing.

[@usaaok]

So happy you're making videos, love your content on vinwiki!

Did he just sell us all Diablos? I'm sold.

[@MrCarGuy]

The Diablo 6.0 SE in Marrone Eklipsis is what does it for me. Hard to match that stunning color combination.

[@greenmurci5026]

The interior on the late Diablo is honestly nicer than the early Murcielago

[@ussindianapolis9137]

Love the Diablos. Timeless design! Fav version is the SV and VT 6.0......Lambo now is just another car company, nothing exclusive anymore. Very nice video

[@shmac96]

I'm coming to you when I m ready to buy a Lamborghini. Love you're knowledge and passion!

[@jrbuch]

I can never afford one of these, but I think for a little while there - they represented great value. Naturally aspirated V12, manual gearbox... Last of the proper Lamborghini's before Audi's involvement.

[@autofanaticcars]

Awesome content John. I remember way back when these were new We would buy exhausts and go fast goodies for our customers from Al Burtoni he was so passionate about the Diablos.

[@gregfair1749]

I still love the Countach and the Diablo to this day!!! I would absolutely love to get my hands on them!!! To own a few. They were the poster car of my youth! Still just gorgeous dream machines!!!

My favorite Lambo, had the chance to drive one a few years back and have been working towards owning one ever since.

[@goranpetrovski6980]

[@TheJoelsr1]

Great video! Loved lambo since I was a kid. The countach days, but the Diablo is STILL a dream car of mine!

[@OjusJere]

Cannot get enough of how Lamborghini does not rush with introducing newer models in their lineup like come on 1991 to 2001 for Diablos, then with Murci, yet again similar pace with Aventador from 2011 to lets believe 2021-2022(?); unlike the Maranello people! And even now when everyone is rushing towards EV, Bolognese guys don't give a damn about it. Just love their stubbornness regardless of people bashing over them for not evolving which is good thing. Such an Italian trait!!

[@georgef1176]

Probably my favorite video of yours thus far!

[@drivemyexotic5274]

The Diablo was THE car for me growing up. Still love it. Hardly ever see any up here in Michigan. Would love to own one.

[@onkouth]

I love this channel and your passion Lamborghini, I remember as a teenager around 1988/89 seeing a picture of the first prototype of the Diablo and actually rendering it on my friends Spectrum computer 😂on a very early drawing programme, it was amazing and very exciting

[@nolimitrc1]

Wow bro your story is amazing met u in nyc a while ago and look at you now doing your thing the past decade congrats hope you and your family are well keep it up !

Driven 1993 model few months ago. I am surprised you have so much space for your legs. I didn’t have any at all. Steering was extremely difficult. Loved this raw beast though.

For me , the early ones are the best ones, the rear wheel, that raw feeling and craziness, I’m planning on getting an early Diablo for the next year

Good luck! 👍 They might look badass but the build quality and handling isn't really good to be honest...

So good! Always been a fan of all rhe now classic Lamborghinis. A random sighting of a Urraco in the Rolex parking lot inspired me to pick up a 77' Lancia Scorpion to to have something Italian and was inexpensive. A recent trip Japan though and seeing their Bosuzoko Lambo scene you get it and why they are the ultimate!

[@ryanguercio7061]

Awesome work as usual. Love this channel and would love to come visit if I am ever in Florida. My son who is 14 is finally a car guy and would go crazy to see these cars. Being born in 78 the Countach was more than just a poster car to me. My most memorable Christmas present was a custom white hoodie my parents had made for me with a rad white Countach on it with neon colors behind it. I would give anything to have this still. I was more excited for that on christmas than my Nintendo games or whatever else I got. I wanted a white one more than any other car in my entire life and would go insane to drive one of them someday. I was in car sales for over 12 years and it was the job I enjoyed more than any other but went back to engineering to be able to spend time with my son and his sports on the weekend because that’s just not possible to do when in sales as you know. Thanks again for the amazing content and thanks for sharing your knowledge and the cars.

Definitely the greatest car of all time in my opinion. The 6.0 is my absolute favourite.

your a humble lambo enthusiast not the normal kids who don’t know much and are bullies about it. You actually enjoy the work and engineering what not

[@MohammedKhaled-ju7gy]

He wasn’t kidding about the interior. Damn

[@sp0228]

John, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the 6.0 Air Conditioning works so well because it's an AC Delco unit from General Motors (which would be the only "excusable thing" to use from the GM parts bin on a Lambo 😆) Also- I believe the 6.0 Headlights are straight from a Nissan 300zx. Lamborghini installed a little carbon fiber trim piece on the upper portion of the headlight to cover the Nissan script. The interior can't be raved about enough...its such a pleasant place to be, swashed with leather and carbon fiber, little to no panel gaps nor rattling, great seating position...no question I'd pick a 6.0 over a Murci.

[@KLUTCHdot58]

I love the early models. That dash pod isn't as bad as it looks once you are sat in it. The UK models had fog and reverse lights in the back that would melt if you drove it hard. You could tell garage queens from track weapons by how Dali they looked

[@carlos64030]

The Diablo is still my all-time favorite exotic! 1999 is my favorite model year for these cars. I'm 6'5", so owning one and being able to comfortably fit inside of it is out of the question. Ideally, though... I'd like to have a 2001 6.0 and make it visually look like the GT model while retaining all of the luxury creature comforts and tech. Honestly, I really don't care for the looks of the 2000 and 2001 models... especially those wheels. I love the updated tech and power, though.

[@wholespeed]

Honda was making a daily driver supercar in 1991. The NSX was so far ahead of it's time. Took Lambo until 2001 to make those improvements. Every modern day supercar owes the NSX a debt of gratitude.

[@jtothepmusic]

I agree - 6.0 is easily my favourite Diablo, possibly my favourite Lambo full stop (or 'period' as you guys in the US say!)

[@863rafael]

I like the early versions with the pop up lights. The recent models are better designed though.

[@stuartsmith5308]

If you want a daily driver buy the 6.0. if you want a raw real Lamborghini buy the early 2wd.
