This is a 1994 Lamborghini Diablo SE30, and of the 152 cars built in the series (150 of which are production), this is the only example to be ordered in this unique color combination of ‘Verde Speciale’ over a green and gray Alcantara interior. This is car number 076 of 150 numbered production cars and it can currently be found in France with @auxchateauxdusudouest. Originally, this example was ordered and delivered through a Lamborghini importer in the Netherlands and ultimately represents one of Lamborghinis most significant models produced. The Diablo model was produced by Lamborghini from 1990-2001 (around 2,884 produced), and it’s famously known as being the first production Lamborghini to hit 200mph. The model was built to replace the Countach (1974-1990, around 1,983 produced), and in it’s earliest stages of development in 1985 it was known as ‘Project 132’ by the Lamborghini factory. The initial design work for the Diablo model was handled by Italian car designer, Marcello Gandini, while American automobile designer, Tom Gale is responsible for the final production design. In the year 1993, Lamborghini introduced a Diablo variant known as the SE30 in order to celebrate their 30th anniversary as a company. The SE30 model was a limited-production run of just 150 production cars, each of them being rear-wheel drive and equipped with adjustable-stiffness anti-roll bars. The SE30 models were equipped with carbon fiber seats as well as 4-point racing harnesses and a fire suppression system, and on the exterior, the model differentiated itself by having numerous aerodynamic enhancements and much better ventilation for cooling. Other ways to tell an SE30 apart include the magnesium alloy wheels and of course the special 30th anniversary SE30 badging. If that wasn’t enough, Lamborghini built around 28 factory modification kits known as the ‘Jota’ conversion which was an even further race-oriented specification.
