The ultimate supercar -- The Lamborghini Diablo 6.0. This vehicle, built in year 2001, is one of the last 260 Lamborghini Diablos ever made. It was the end of an era. (The current model is the "Murcielago", which was designed and produced by Lamborghini through Audi's ownership). Only a handful of Orange Diablo 6.0's ever made it to the market. The actual name of the orange color is Arancio Atlas (PPG 0058). Orange is by far the rarest color as well, and also the most desirable. This last year of the Diablo was also the only year any in orange were ever available on a Diablo.

Less than 260 of these cars were built. 35% of so is the agreed upon number imported into the United States. First shown at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2000, it represented the final evolution stage of the Diablo. The entire car, with the exception of the roof and doors for safety, is made of cabon fiber. The entire car! The 6.0L V12 engine roars at 550bhp at 7100RPM. In addition to input valve variable timing, the Diablo 6.0 includes exhaust valve variable timing. The engine also came with titanium connecting rods and a lighter crankshaft to improve performance.

There are a few cars that can keep up with this car stock. Those that can have nowhere near the top speed to totally keep up. The Diablo 6.0 states a max speed of 205mph however several owners have clocked 220mph with radar.

This car is stock with a few exceptions. The wheels are 19" Lowenhart rims in the front and rear. The rims were at a cost of $15,000 and accented the same Arancio Atlas color to match the body color.

This Diablo 6.0 is famous as well. Its first owner (I am the second), was the musician, recording artist, and movie star, Busta Rhymes. You'll find pictures of it all over the Internet as it was featured in many magazines and car shows. When you see "Flipmode" embroidered on the headrests, that is his recording studios name (Flipmode Squad). As with all Diablo 6.0's, it has a Alpine CVA and 6-disc changer.

The entire vehicle is factory, with the exceptions of tha 3M Clear Bra that is on the vehicle (cant even see it in the pictures, can you!), the wheels, and the car was also converted to 2WD from 4WD (a necessary step to ensure that the larger rims do not have an adverse effect on the viscous coupling). This car had a brand new clutch installed at around 3000 miles from Lamborghini Orlando. There is a chip on the bumper that could be touched up, beyond that the paint is all original no accidents....
