The Lamborghini Diablo was built from 1990 to 2001. The early versions had a mid-mounted 5.7 litre V-12, 48 valve V12 , 492 horsepower (367 kW) and 427 foot-pounds (579 N·m) of torque. The vehicle could reach 60 mph in slightly over 4 seconds, with a top speed of 202 mph. These were remarkable stats for 1990 and still are today. The Lamborghini Diablo was one of the first production cars to reach over 200 miles per hour.
It came as a two-door coupe, with an unusual set of horizontally hinged doors that opened upward toward the front rather than outward. The original Diablo's body was made from aluminum alloy, high-resistance steel alloy and carbon fiber, with mechanical rack and pinion steering and an anti-roll bar. The car had independent front and rear suspension and all-wheel Brembo ventilated disc brakes .
The original Diablo could be ordered with a number of extras, such as a fitted luggage set and an extremely expensive Breguet clock. The interior sported leather adjustable seats and a big block dashboard. Drivers could listen to an Alpine stereo system, which came with your choice of a CD player or cassette system.
