The Lamborghini Diablo was launched in Monte Carlo on 21 January 1990. This was the first Lamborghini capable of a top speed in excess of 200 mph . . . and the first Lamborghini design developed with the aid of wind tunnel. It was an overdue replacement for the iconic, but aging Countach. Diablo, incidentally, is “devil” in Spanish; Lamborghini carrying on the tradition of naming its vehicles after bulls. Reputedly, the model’s namesake was a ferocious bull raised by the Duke of Veragua in the 19th century, famous for fighting an epic battle with El Chicorro in Madrid on 11 July 1869.
Powering this 1991 Lamborghini Diablo is a 5.7-liter V12 mated to a gated 5-speed manual transaxle
