The Lamborghini Diablo GTR, one of the rarest and most extreme models ever produced by the Italian automaker, is now available for sale. With only 30 units built for the 2001 model year, this six-speed manual race car represents the pinnacle of analog driving and engineering excellence.
Originally designed for Lamborghini’s one-make Supertrophy series, the Diablo GTR is an unapologetically track-focused machine. Powered by a naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V-12 engine, it delivers an impressive 590 horsepower, propelling the car to a top speed of 210 mph. Its unmistakable race-inspired design features a massive rear wing bolted to the frame for optimal downforce, a roof-mounted air intake, and NACA ducts above the headlights.
Inside, the GTR sheds all the luxuries typical of Lamborghinis. The cabin is stripped down to bare carbon fiber, with racing bucket seats and a roll cage replacing the plush interiors of the road-going Diablo. Even basic features like roll-down windows are replaced by sliding panels to maximize weight savings. An “Antifire Device” button serves as a reminder that this car is built for the racetrack, not the highway.
This particular Diablo GTR has a racing pedigree, having competed at Monza during the 2001 Supertrophy series, climbing from 18th to 6th place during one race. Its track history adds to its value and allure, making it a must-have for collectors.
Currently listed through Curated Vintage Supercars in Miami, Florida, the Diablo GTR offers an opportunity to own a piece of Lamborghini’s storied racing history. While the exact price is undisclosed, its value is estimated at $1.3 million, making it a coveted gem for enthusiasts seeking a truly analog and exclusive supercar.
This Diablo GTR stands as a reminder of Lamborghini’s uncompromising approach to performance, now ready to find its next chapter with a discerning collector.
