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.

2023 was the best year for Lamborghini

2022 was a very successful year for Lamborghini with 9,242 cars sold, and the same was expected in 2023. According to the report, Lamborghini delivered 10,112 cars worldwide in the past 12 months, which is the best result in the history of this Italian manufacturer.

Although governments are trying to encourage customers to buy electric cars with subsidies, the demand for ICE cars and hybrids is still high. Proof of this is the 6,087 copies of the Lamborghini Urus delivered in the last 12 months, and 3,962 copies of the Lamborghini Huracan model.

Lamborghini had the highest sales growth in the European market, where 4,000 cars were delivered, which is a 14 percent increase compared to the same period of the previous year. In the US, 3,000 cars were sold, which is a 9 percent increase over the previous year.

In March last year, Lamborghini presented the successor to the Aventador, the Lamborghini Revuelto, and the first examples were delivered at the end of the year. That is why these examples were not included in the total number, and what effect they will have on the sales results in 2024 remains to be seen.

The Lamborghini Revuelto is powered by a 6.5-L V12 combined with an electric motor with a total output of 1,001 hp (747 kW) and 595 lb-ft (807 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission. This powerful SUV is capable of accelerating from zero to 62 in 2.5 seconds with a top speed of 217 mph (350 km/h).

The Lamborghini Urus Performante is a lighter and more powerful version of the most famous Lamborghini SUV, which arrived on the market in mid-2022, with a price of 218,487 euros. Soon, he became part of the Italian police force, and now he has joined the Dubai Police as well.

Dubai is known for a large number of super powerful and fast cars, and the police force of this emirate tries to respond to the task to ensure better traffic safety and prevent those who like to press the gas pedal more than necessary. Urus Performante is definitely a car that can answer all tasks, and it was delivered during the Dubai Airshow.

Major General Ahmed Mohammed bin Thani said the Urus Performante will support the Dubai Police in better serving the public, maintaining security and providing services at popular tourist destinations.

Compared to the standard Urus, the Performante is equipped with wide wheel arches, a new front and rear bumper that lengthen the Performante by an additional 25 mm, a roof spoiler with carbon wings, an Akrapovič exhaust system, a new diffuser, a differential that distributes torque more efficiently and a recalibrated front wheel steering system increases the downforce of the car by an additional 8 percent and improves its performance. There is also a green and white livery with a police logo.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Lamborghini Urus Performante is powered by a 4.0L biturbo V8 engine with 657 hp (490 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 190 mph (306 km/h). Power is sent to all wheels via an eight-speed automatic gearbox with limited slip central differential.
