Lamborghini has a rich heritage filled with iconic models, and the Diablo GTR stands out as one of them. This specific Diablo GTR, the second of only 30 ever produced, comes in a distinct Viola Cassis color and is currently available for purchase in the United Kingdom.
Derived from the exclusive Diablo GT, the Diablo GTR boasts significant enhancements that transform it into a powerful track machine, now street legal. It houses a robust 6.0-liter V12 engine that churns out 590 horsepower, a 25 horsepower increase compared to the GT. With a reduced weight of 1,395 kg from the GT’s 1,460 kg, this beast can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 3.5 seconds and hit a top speed exceeding 338 km/h. Meticulously designed for racing, the GTR sports a complete roll cage, a prominent rear wing, and a stripped-down interior focused solely on the driver’s experience.
The creation of the Diablo GTR can be traced back to a successful partnership between Philippe Charriol and Stephane Ratel, culminating in the Philippe Charriol Lamborghini Supertrophy series. Intended to supersede the SV-R as the Supertrophy participant, the GTR promises enhanced performance and a thrilling driving encounter, especially with its mighty V12 engine and traditional gated shifter.
Chassis 2, dressed in the unique Viola Cassis hue, was exclusively customized by Charriol’s Ecurie Riverside squad for Charriol himself, becoming a standout piece in Lamborghini’s illustrious racing past. Preserved with meticulous care, the vehicle retains its exceptional condition and high-performance characteristics.
This rare and highly sought-after GTR presents a special opportunity for collectors and Lamborghini aficionados to possess a significant fragment of Lamborghini’s racing legacy. DK Engineering has meticulously prepped the car, and it is currently up for sale.
