1994 Diablo SE 30 Jota

Here's a red one I took pics of (I prefer the SE 30 purple )

From Wiki:

A lightened, hard-edged racing variant of the standard Diablo, the Diablo Special Edition (SE), was sold in limited numbers during 1994-1995 to celebrate Lamborghini's 30th anniversary.
In total only about 150 cars were made. In 1995 Lamborghini introduced the Diablo SE30 Jota; the SE30 Jota was produced from the Lamborghini factory but SE30 owners also had the option of having Lamborghini upgrade their SE30 to SE30 Jota specifications. The SE30 Jota upgrade consisted of two roof mounted air scoops, a re-tuned L.I.E. chip and a six-speed all-synchromesh gearbox. With these upgrades in place the Diablo SE30 Jota could produce a claimed 595 bhp (444 kW; 603 PS) , about 70[1][2] more than the normal SE30s. In total only about 28 Jota upgrade kits were made.

The car went without most of the Diablo's standard equipment to save weight, it featured lots of carbon fiber parts, helping to make it 125 kilograms (276 lb) lighter than the standard Diablo. Lamborghini chose to do without the VT's advanced electronic suspension or all-wheel-drive systems, but the car did get an advanced adjustment system controlled with an interior dial that could instantaneously adjust the stiffness of the car's front and rear anti-roll bars. They also enlarged the brake discs of all four wheels. [5]

I remeber having pics of these stunning Lambo's on my wall......Then a freind had one and let me drive one about 6 years ago....and put me off forever......spoiled the dream wish I hadn't driven it. As a passenger it blew my mind. Suppose in this day and age we are spoiled by cars that are easy to drive. What a shame

Unfortunately thats often the case Andy, prime example was yesterdays re-run of Top Gear on Dave , Merak, Uraco and a Fezza i think all around 1975 pitted against the stig in a Astra diesel, he beat them hands down by at least 10 secs, they all seemed to handle like a bag of nuts and bolts except the Astra oh for rose coloured spectacles
