If you’re a fan of rare supercars, this one might just take your breath away. It’s a Lamborghini Diablo GTR, one of only 30 ever made, and it’s now up for sale. Built in 2000 for the 2001 model year, this beast has a naturally aspirated V12, three pedals, and a personality that’s as bold as its looks. This particular GTR started life in a bright yellow shade called Giallo Evros. Then Lamborghini USA gave it a makeover, respraying it in a stunning Blu Monterey. The car is impossible to miss, with a rear wing that’s more like a piece of furniture, lightweight plexiglass windows, and a body made almost entirely of carbon fiber. Inside, it’s all business. The cockpit looks like something out of a fighter jet, stripped down and focused purely on speed. RM Sotheby’s once called the Diablo GTR “the most hardcore and outlandish car” Lamborghini had built at the time. They weren’t wrong. The Wildest Diablo Ever BuiltThe Lamborghini Diablo GTR is a beast in every sense of the word. Designed purely for the track, it looks like it’s ready to take off. That massive rear wing isn’t just for show. It’s bolted to the frame to keep this 590-horsepower machine glued to the road when you’re hitting speeds of 210 mph. Honestly, it’s big enough to serve snacks on, but who’s thinking about that when there’s a roaring V12 under the hood? Everything about this car screams performance. The windows? They don’t roll down. Instead, there are little sliding panels to let in some air when you need it. And speaking of air, those side mirrors have tubes built in to funnel fresh air straight into the cabin. It’s all about function, not fluff. The rest of the body is just as extreme. A giant heat extractor dominates the front, while NACA ducts above the headlights and a roof-mounted air intake make sure the engine stays cool. Most of the car is lightweight carbon fibre, except for the metal roof and doors. Step inside, and it’s a whole other world. No leather seats or fancy gadgets here. Just a single racing seat, a roll cage, and a dashboard with more buttons than a fighter jet. Lamborghini stripped out anything unnecessary to keep the focus on speed and handling. They even tuned the V12 to add 40 more horsepower than the Diablo SVR, making this the most powerful and agile Diablo ever. A Racer with HistoryThis Diablo GTR has a story worth telling. In 2001, it hit the track at Monza for Lamborghini’s Supertrophy series. Behind the wheel was English driver Lee Cunningham, who managed to climb from 18th on the grid to finish in sixth place. Not bad for a car designed to push boundaries. While the rest of its track history is a bit of a mystery, that Monza race alone makes it a standout. What really sets this car apart is its connection to a different era. It’s from a time when Lamborghini built cars with no frills, just raw power and precision. This isn’t like today’s purpose-built race cars that you leave at the track. The Diablo GTR is one of the last truly analog supercars—a rare mix of racing grit and road-going potential. In fact, some of these have even been converted for the street. Just last year, a road-legal purple Diablo GTR popped up for sale in the UK, turning a track monster into something you could (technically) take for groceries. That’s part of the charm—it’s as wild as it is versatile. Now, this particular GTR is back in the spotlight, listed for sale by Curated Vintage Supercars in Miami. No official price has been shared, but when Doug DeMuro reviewed this exact car two years ago, he guessed its value at $1.3 million. Whether you’re a collector or just someone with a soft spot for motorsport history, this car is one for the books. Source: Lamborghini
