There is a special plaque on the door that reads, “Donald Trump 1997 Diablo.” Regardless of your political affiliations, having someone else’s name on your car – that isn’t a designer or motorsport personality – is a bit strange. Then again, some collectors (particularly those of presidential memorabilia) may appreciate this unique detail.
Inside, the Diablo VT boasts cream, black leather upholstery and all the luxuries you’d expect from a ’90s supercar. There’s not much in the way of creature comforts, but climate control and a more modern radio provide some civility. Then again, the Diablo was never about refinement. It’s about speed and power, which it has in bucketloads.
Motivation comes from a glorious-sounding 5.7-liter V12 engine that spits out 492 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels.
