INSANE!! Lamborghini's First Factory-Built Racecar - Diablo P01 GT Jota!

[@PatrickPeterVlogs]

What's the obsession of returning to original? Its journey to its current form is its best point.

[@Turbodudedk]

Don’t repaint it, looks awesome as is, badass 😍

[@zzhughesd]

I agree. See both schools thought. Leave as is racing patina. And restore. What a specimen. That story.

[@DL-lz6pj]

100%

[@damiangrybowski9852]

100% agree, it looks extremely good with this worn paint, it needs mechanical work and keep racing in vintage series. New paint is for pussy Porsche's that never see redline.

[@legodonequick]

absolutely, race cars are working work cars it has lived and incredible life it seems a shame to wipe all the scars away.

You are the masters of building a story around a car

[@MurderBong]

Story, is part of HiStory. History Is Providence. Providence is Worth. Without it, it is just an old car. Would you pay more if you had a car owned by a celebrity, a driver? People Do. One could find an old Ferrari. Worth a few Million USD.. What if is was owned and daily driven by Senna? 💰!

[@MurderBong]

For Example - 3:57 Can be had for about 140CAD (Coupé).. I bet not this one. Condition plus Providence. 😊 Might even be 7 Figure.

Yes, John is very passionate about these cars. It is a labor of love. Super important cars

[@WhitestRob]

That white and blue Valvoline livery looks outstanding on that car. I totally understand wanting to get it back to it's original configuration though. As usual, great work John and Curated team!

[@ksteak27]

3:57 - John just casually walking by a drop-top Testarossa. 😍😍 A video on this car, maybe??

[@onkouth]

There is something so incredibly beautiful about an old retired racecar, you can literally see its historic battlescars and all the modifications and repairs its had while fighting. When Porsche recently restored Jacky Ickx's 959 Dakar car it was very tastefully done as more of a mechanical recommissioning. I can't wait to see the story of this very special Diablo ❤.

Restoring it mechanically would be great, but for the love of god keep the JGTC Rain X livery & the patina, it is iconic & thats part of the cars story, It was built for the purpose to race, it wouldve never stayed plain yellow. Personal opinion of course, great video

Absolutely incredible car. Doable has to be my favourite

[@julienmarcinkowski1546]

This car, with the Valvoline white, red and blue livery and the enlarged front fenders and axle, is my favorite of all cars! I read somewhere that customers could buy a factory built Lamborghini Diablo SE30 Jota with a six-speed manual transmission as an option, instead of the regular 5-speed one. As one of the world's leading experts on the Lamborghini Diablo, have you ever heard of this optional 6-speed transmission for the SE30 Jota?

[@michaelbonade4667]

When you finally SEE the Diablo block and heads, as it sits in a GT at least….uncluttered and without the standard intake manifolds….its a thing of beauty It’s sobering and enlightening to Learn who designed that v12….and that it ranks along side those of Ferrari I mean they’re cousins practically

[@AP13P]

Waiting on the day you get your hands on the Diablo GT1 Stradale.

[@MrCarGuy]

Going back to the previous wheels too? Awesome story

[@HEKTIC458]

Looks amazing. One of the coolest modern Lambos ever.

[@chesspiece81]

The black one had the exhaust in a different location. Would that be to meet certain noise restrictions at tracks?

[@bicyclist2]

Very cool! I remember seeing photos of this Diablo in car magazines. I hope to see it once its restored to original. Believe it or not, Mr Lamborghini didn't believe in racing. And thought it a complete waste of money. As a result, the factory never supported teams who used a Lambo engine in a race car. This must be from the era when they were owned by Chrysler. Thank you.

[@WeAreCurated]

Yes indeed! Bob Wallace actually secretly built a one off racing Miura - the Miura Jota - back in the day but this Diablo was the first OFFICIAL factory racecar

[@redeyerob2176]

[@304_Luey]

Please leave the livery on this. I'm sure it's not how it works but if I could buy it, I would definitely pay more for it the way it is than with the livery removed. It's part of the story of the car

[@gabiwabi123]

The best form imo was when it was just completed in all yellow, prior to rain x livery with only TAMURA windshield banner

[@WhichSpencer]

Please don’t erase the JLOC history, the JGTC/GT500 story is what makes this car so cool. Not a “factory rebuild”

[@dougshaw2944]

So cool. Kind of love it in black with those headlights added. Looks mean. Good luck 🤘 edit for: dang-o Japan got (and made) some cool stuff in the '90's.

[@lamborghiniregistry]

Are you sure about that car being white at some point? Did you find white paint on it? Because #12997 was a white car looking almost identical to this one

[@djremotion2]

It was never white obviously. They have completely lost the plot. This would make great historics racecar for Goodwood etc but is now going to be ruined.

Hello John. Cheers from the Diablo Fan from France (one day I will come to Miami to meet you, and another day to make a deal with you. The day I would manage my entreprise, Diablo as aim). I wonder, as a racing car, it is normal she gains evolution from its team to make it faster. Why do you prefer to choice a restauration in original factory release form and not restoring in its final evolution as JLOC made it with expanded wheels arches and coverd headlamps, big wings, livery, BBS... But still sourcing/keeping original parts with the cars for the next owner? My point of view and heart differ but you are wright too, and it stills a beautiful... marvelous and heart taking, breath taking project. Just, I would appreciate you to develop your choice ( I am sure to not be the only one to be curious of this choice, some says it should remained with its scares from racing, just refreshed). Thanks bro. 💛

[@jeffreywebb4029]

Hopefully you dont over restore it. Race cars aren't put together perfect. Just stuck together with " thats good enough" attitude. They did not care about panel gaps. I actually love all the chipped paint, dirt, and grime. To me the battle scars have value too. But I have no idea how you keep that stuff and restore it. The fiberglass fenders are perfect. Race cars get banged around so you would want cheap body panels. Awesome stuff. Glad someone so passionate found it and is bringing it back.

Stripping the car of its history by restoring it. It’s a real shame. Typically I’m pro restoration but it hurts to see you erase the years of character and pedigree. Plus, the black trim/grilles and the custom fenders with headlights look way better than the originals anyways.

[@mhdz]

[@Simwheeler]

[@djremotion2]

Very stupid to rip of parts from racecar. In racing you are continously developing the car and every wing and every door is just as valuable part of the car’s history and just as original as the first components how it was delivered. Ofcourse it will get better working aero parts, wings, lighter carbon doors over the time. Everyone can see that the factory wing is horrid from aero perspective. In my opinion racecar is closest to what team wanted from it in the spec when it raced last time, not the first. It is constant evolution. It is a journey. Treating those parts on the floor like that and ripping them off is sacrilegious and then last nail to coffin will be restoration when all of this car’s history has been completely lost - thanks to this muppet who does not know better. Ps. Ofcourse parts will be part carbon, part glue part kevlar part steel... what ever as long as they can get the part ready for next race. That is exactly authenticity. pps. Gold wheels look way better and are original, they are under the car right now. And this car never was white, it is another car like pointed out another commentor. Sometimes you should just understand to let stuff be.
