Unveiled on January 21, 1991 the Diablo was introduced at a base price of $240,000. The Lamborghini Diablo sported a 5,7 liter 48-valve variation of the legendary Lamborghini V12 that featured dual overhead cam and computer-controlled multi-point fuel injection that produced 492 horsepower and 427 foot-lbs of torque. The Diablo could achieve 0-60 mph in little over 4 seconds and the capability of 202 mph as a top speed. Just like the Countach, the Diablo was rear-wheel drive with a mid-mounted engine.
The Diablo didn’t feature as many bells and whistles as other cars with a price tag as extreme. It only came with basic radio functions, powerless seats and no antilock brakes. Several options were available though, a rear wing spoiler, a customized molded seat for the driver a factory fitted luggage set (available for $2,600) and an exclusive Breguet clock for the dash (available for $10,500).
