This presents a timely opportunity to own one of the rarest, most collectible and highly desirable versions of the Diablo guise, 1 of just 150 examples to leave the factory. The car presents excellently throughout and would be suitable for a fine collection.
Launched in 1993, the Diablo SE30 was built to commemorate Lamborghinis 30th anniversary and limited to a production run of just 150 cars worldwide. Ultimately, the SE30 was lighter and more powerful than a standard Diablo, featuring numerous changes to the engine and cosmetically.
The engine now produced 523 horsepower, achieved with the aid of a modified fuel system, magnesium intake manifolds and free-flowing exhaust system. The car retained its RWD guise to save weight and carried over the electronically adjustable shock absorbers found on the VT. In the cars centre console is a switch which allows the driver to manually adjust the stiffness of the anti-roll bars.
The SE30s exterior had some distinctive features which differed from other Diablo models, including a new front bumper with a deeper spoiler which also incorporated straked brake cooling ducts. The raging bull badge was moved to the front bumper of the car, rather than being traditionally fitted to the front boot lid. The rear cooling ducts of the SE30 were also changed, now designed in a vertical manor and finished in the cars body colour. The engine lid now had slats covering the rear window with a larger spoiler installed at the rear. Magnesium, 5 spoke O.Z Racing alloy wheels were also specially designed for the SE30, completed with ‘’Special Edition’’ printed on them.
Weight saving was achieved with the use of numerous materials and changes, but the most noticeable feature from the exterior was the use of a fixed plexiglass panel on both the driver and passenger window. A small sliding vent located at the bottom rear corner of each panel is manually operated from the car’s interior. Other changes included the removal of air conditioning, stereo and power steering. Carbon fibre seats with optional 4-point race harnesses and a fire suppression system were also added, further complimenting the SE30s race influenced ethos.

About Lamborghini
Ah, the fiery tale of Lamborghini, a true icon born from the sparks of frustration with the Prancing Horse! Picture yourself in the early 1960s, a time when the automotive world was dominated by the likes of Ferrari. Now, enter Ferruccio Lamborghini, a successful tractor manufacturer and a man with a passion for powerful machines.Act 1: The Frustration (1963)
Ferruccio, a proud owner of several Ferraris, found himself dissatisfied with the clutch in his 250 GT. Frustrated, he marched into Enzo Ferrari's office to air his grievances. The meeting didn't go as planned, with Enzo dismissing Ferruccio's concerns, suggesting that he stick to building tractors. Well, that was like waving a red flag at a bull.
Act 2: The Birth of Lamborghini (1963)
Fuelled by a mixture of frustration and determination, Ferruccio decided to take matters into his own hands. In 1963, he founded Automobili Lamborghini. His vision? To create grand touring cars that rivaled, or even surpassed, the offerings of Ferrari.
Act 3: The Pioneering Models (1960s-1970s)
And thus, the Lamborghini legend began with the release of the Miura in 1966. Designed by Marcello Gandini, this mid-engined masterpiece was a trailblazer, the world's first true supercar. With a V12 engine mounted behind the driver, the Miura set the standard for performance and style.
Following the Miura's success, Lamborghini introduced the iconic Countach in the early '70s. Marcello Gandini once again worked his magic, giving birth to a wedge-shaped wonder that became a poster child for a generation. The Countach wasn't just a car; it was an automotive revolution.
Act 4: The Design Maestros
Behind the scenes, designers like Marcello Gandini and later Giugiaro played pivotal roles in shaping Lamborghini's distinct aesthetic. Gandini's work on the Miura and Countach cemented Lamborghini's reputation for bold, angular designs that pushed the boundaries of automotive styling.
Act 5: The Legacy and Modern Marvels
As the decades unfolded, Lamborghini continued to innovate and produce iconic models. The Diablo, Murciélago, Aventador, and the more recent Huracán and Urus all carry the Lamborghini DNA – a perfect blend of power, performance, and unmistakable design.
Epilogue: A Fierce Rivalry
The Lamborghini-Ferrari rivalry became legendary, driving both companies to push the limits of automotive engineering. Lamborghini, born out of frustration, emerged not just as a competitor but as a trailblazer, leading the way for mid-engined supercars that continue to captivate enthusiasts worldwide.
So, there you have it, the epic saga of Lamborghini – a story of frustration turned into a symphony of roaring engines, sleek designs, and a legacy that forever changed the landscape of high-performance automobiles.
