Replacing the iconic Countach after a 16-year run, the Lamborghini Diablo marked a new era for the Italian marque. Developed under Chrysler’s ownership and introduced in 1990, the Diablo retained the aggressive wedge-shaped silhouette but featured smoother lines, improved aerodynamics, and a far more refined driving experience. Power came from a 5.7-liter V-12, producing 485 hp and 428 lbs./ft. of torque, enabling the Diablo to become the first Lamborghini to exceed 200 mph. Early examples are particularly prized for their raw, analog character – with no ABS, traction control, or power steering – yet they offered improved usability over the Countach with features like power windows, adjustable seats, and a more spacious cabin.

Sold new in June 1992, this early-production Diablo is believed to be the sole example originally delivered to Venezuela. It was reportedly owned by a prominent collector whose garage also housed a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing in a matching color scheme. Recently imported to the US, this Diablo is finished in its original colors of Diablo Rosso (Devil Red) over black leather – closely resembling the press car featured in Lamborghini’s launch materials. It rides on original OZ five-hole modular wheels with new Pirelli tires, and has received recent servicing from Lamborghini Palm Beach and marque specialist Driven Exotics of Gilroy, California. Showing just 9,668 km (approximately 6,000 miles) at the time of cataloguing, it is offered with its tool kit and a period-correct Blaupunkt stereo.
