Built to succeed the fabled Lamborghini Countach, this 1997
Lamborghini Diablo VT roadster is one of 132 produced for the U.S.
market between 1997-99. The Diablo carried on Lamborghini's
tradition of naming cars for fighting bulls; it was named for a
legendary bull that battled famed matador "El Chicorro" in the 19th
century. What makes this Diablo stand out is the fact that it was
ordered new by former President Donald J. Trump, who owned and
drove it until he sold it in the summer of 2002. Trump was allowed
to custom-order this Diablo because of a special relationship with
Lamborghini, which provided him with some "loaner" Diablos for
brand and model promotional purposes. Trump special-ordered this
Diablo in a Blu Le Mans paint color, which was not offered in 1997,
making it the only Diablo painted in this shade for 1997. The car
was further personalized with a "Donald Trump 1997 Diablo" plaque
installed on the door. This Diablo is powered by a mid-mounted
5.7-liter 48-valve V12 engine that channels 492hp at 7,000 rpm and
430 ft/lbs of torque through a 5-speed manual transmission and
all-wheel-drive system. The Viscous Traction (VT) system redirects
torque to the front wheels when needed, resulting in superior
traction and enabling the car to rocket to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds
and hit a top speed of 202 mph. The sale includes the car's
manuals/books, two tool bags and a car cover. This one-off
Trump-owned Diablo combines Lamborghini supercar history with
American presidential history. CARFAX shows potential odometer
rollbacks on 08/01/2007 and 10/16/2012. ** PREVIEW
