lamborghini diablo gt r in blue

Wealthy people have countless high-end supercars, hypercars and classic cars to choose from these days, but this one is very special. Built in 2000 for the 2001 model year, this blue beauty is a Lamborghini Diablo GTR — one of just 30 ever made, it has three pedals, 12 cylinders, and is now up for sale.

The Lamborghini Diablo, of course, is special all by itself, but it’s arguably finest in its final form. The most extreme Diablo ever, the GTR’s purpose as a race car is clear from one look at it. Just take a look at the rear wing, which it seems big enough to serve as a diving board for a kiddie pool. That huge wing is bolted to the frame to optimize what it can do — smart, considering the naturally aspirated V-12 makes 590 horsepower and gives the car a top speed of 210 mph.

Note the special windows, too. This car has tubes connected to the wing mirrors that bring fresh air into the cabin through special holes in the side. Notably, those windows don’t roll down, but instead have sliding sections to enable more airflow when needed.

It’s impossible to miss the massive heat extractor, or the two NACA ducts above the headlights, or the giant air intake on the roof of this Lamborghini. Everything is extreme — and that only continues in the cabin.

Gone is the leather upholstery and carpeting, in favor of bare carbon fiber. One won’t find 24-way adjustable seats either, but genuine racing buckets. Oh, and don’t forget that ingress and egress requires navigating the included roll cage. (Really, that shouldn’t be too shocking in a vehicle with an “Antifire Device” button.)

According to the listing for this car, it raced at Monza in Lamborghini’s one-make Supertrophy series, and its driver managed to go from 18th to 6th overall in 2001. Beyond that, it’s unclear how much track time it’s seen over the years.

Today, Lamborghini still makes race cars, but those aren’t ones that you can drive to and from the track. That makes this car, one of the last truly analog Lamborghinis, even more special.

This magnificent piece of history is now available through Curated Vintage Supercars in Miami, Florida. No word on pricing, but when Doug DeMuro reviewed this exact example two years ago, he claimed it was worth $1.3 million, so consider that a jumping-off point.
