Donald Trump is the former (45th) president of the United States of America, politician, media personality, and businessman who always attracts attention. He owns a $2 million car collection, and one of the cars is for sale. It’s a 1997 Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster.

This Diablo VT Roadster is one of only 132 examples built for US customers, and 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.

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.

The car was owned by Trump until 2002 and has changed hands several times since then. It has been properly maintained and serviced and is in excellent condition.

1998 Lamborghini Diablo SV Roadster up for auction

In 1998, Lamborghini started building a special car, the Diablo SV Roadster. It was a combination of the Diablo SV in the configuration of the Diablo VT Roadster, and the manufacturer planned to produce only 20 examples. However, due to the financial turmoil faced by the company as well as the lack of interest in such a variant, Lamborghini stopped the project. Only two units of this car were produced, making it the rarest series-production Lamborghini ever. One of them was offered at auction.

This Diablo SV Roadster is powered by a 5.7L V12 engine with 530 hp (395 kW) and 445 lb-ft (605 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission.

The car is finished in the striking combination of Roadster Giallo over Nero “Torpedo” Alcantara. It is equipped with a removable roof, rear wing, side air intake blades, electronic suspension lifting system, and 355-millimeter brake discs at each corner. Front bumper, alloy wheels, side decals and interior are from SV coupé. The central console and sills are made of carbon fiber. It has only 42,842 kilometers on the odometer.

The Lamborghini Diablo SV Roadster was offered at RM Sotheby’s Sealed Auction on December 15, 2023.

On both sides is the number “10” which marks the anniversary.

The car is equipped with a performance package, carbon accessories on the hood, and the adjusted angle of the rear wing increases the downforce. There are also new adjustable shock absorbers that are combined with a new set of Bridgestone tires, and an Akrapovič titanium exhaust system.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in Nero Ade black Alcantara with Verde Fauns green stitching. There are also four-point safety belts, an aluminum roll bar, as well as carbon floor coverings that emphasize the ambience inspired by motorsport.

Lamborghini Huracan STO 10° Anniversario is powered by a 5.2L V10 engine with 631 hp (470 kW) and 417 lb-ft (565 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed DCT gearbox.

The price of the car is not known, and it can be assumed that the car has already been reserved for a collector.
