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.

Unique Lamborghini Huracan STO 10° Anniversario

Celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the Huracan in April 2023, Lamborghini announced that it will produce a special limited edition called the 60th Anniversary Edition (60 cars each from the STO, Tecnica and Evo Spider series). Now celebrating a decade of the Squadra Corsa racing division, the company has designed a unique car, the Huracan STO 10° Anniversario, based on the Huracan STO model.

Only one example of this car created in the Lamborghini Ad Personam Opera Unica program will be produced, with unique specifications. The exterior design is inspired by the Lamborghini SC63 LMDh, which will compete in the IMSA Endurance Cup and the FIA ​​World Endurance Championship, as well as the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the 2024 season. It is finished in a combination of Verde Mantis and Nero Noctis colors with the colors of the Italian flag extending over the hood and roof. 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.

A large car collection is up for auction

At the beginning of the year, YouTuber Omi in a Hellcat (Bill Omar Carrasquillo) was sentenced to 66 months in prison for illegally selling content hijacked from cable boxes. He and his accomplices earned 30 million dollars (or about 28.6 million euros) from this illegal activity. Now, he has to pay cable operators $10.7 million (€10.2 million), the IRS $5 million (€4.7 million), and will lose his car collection.

“I really didn’t know the significance of this crime until I was picked up at my home. I feel like I let everybody down,” said Bill Omar Carrasquillo.

His car collection is offered for sale and consists of a total of 32 cars, as well as several quads, motorcycles and other vehicles. Among them are two copies of the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, Dodge Durango SRT, four Lamborghinis, two Ford Mustangs, Audi R8, Acura NSX, Bentley Continental GT, BMW M8, Toyota Supra, Honda Civic Type R and others. The star of the auction is the 2019 Lamborghini Aventador LP740-4S, which is adorned with a foil with a Power Rangers design.

“Thirty million dollars is a lot of money, tangible objects aren’t everything. You have a large following and there may be people who think if you can get away with it, they can too,” said U.S. District Judge Harvey Bartle III.
