Trump owns a $2 million car collection, and one of the cars was this Diablo VT Roadster, one of only 132 examples built for US customers. Thanks to his special ties with Lamborghini, Trump got a car made to his liking. It is finished in Blu Le Mans color over cream/black. This color was not officially available in 1997, and there is a “Donald Trump 1997 Diablo” plaque on the driver’s door. According to the partnership agreement, the Italian company had previously given him examples of this car for promotional purposes.

Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster is powered by a 5.7-liter V12 engine with 492 hp (367 kW) and 430 lb-ft (580 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via a 5-speed manual gearbox. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.1 seconds with a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph). It has only 24,836 kilometers (15,431 miles) on the odometer.

$1.1 million USD is a record amount for a Lamborghini Diablo. Similar examples of this model in similar condition and with no celebrity connection sold for half this amount or even less.
