Lamborghini Diablo Review - What's it like to drive the maddest car of the '90s?

- Lamborghini had a hit with the Countach. It's radical design stopped traffic and arguably set a new benchmark in how far supercars could push the limits of sensibility.
But it was truly awful to drive, with factory workers famously sitting on the side sill with the door open to reverse the car because there was such poor rear visibility.
For the Countach's successor, Lamborghini needed to provide the wild nature of the Countach but with more, shall we say, gentle usability. Not too sensible of course, but enough to help you arrive home in one piece.
Enter the Diablo, the only car ever named after the devil himself. Our video guy, Ciro De Siena, quite literally had a poster of this car on his bedroom wall, and a scale model in this exact colour.
Driving this car is quite literally a dream come true, but would the reality of the experience leave him feeling elated or deflated?
Only one way to find out.

I drove a Diablo for 9 years as my daily , it made me realize" If You drive fast it means Your car is to slow"!
The next car you should definitely drive is a Toyota Conquest Twincam 😍
320 km/h No airbag No ABS. The devil himself indeed!!!! Classic nontheless.
I didn't think I'd ever see a Diablo in South Africa 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Legendary car. SO glad it gets used properly!
Me thinking you are stepping on holy land 😂😂😂😂
That’s what I thought too😅
Was the best car on need for speed ps1 the original. Imagine owning this. There was a purple one on gumtree for R12 000 000. Theres also a car called a Devel16.
Oh yes it was the ultimate…..
Haha Ronald Kahn
This is a pure 90s sports car. You did the right thing to take the shoes off. :) This car was made only for pure hard driving, obviously not for just everyone. I remember it in yellow and red. This two colors rocks. :) Keep up bro.
Saw a red one in Fourways a few years ago, made my day, feels like I'm reliving that day again.
Another beast of a car was / is the DeTomaso Pantera.
The most desirable to me, definitely the Lamborghini Miura ‼️
Just like you I had a calander on my wall with a picture of this car as a young kid. Now some 25yrs later its still my dream to own one. One day soon I will make it happen. Saw one in real life for the first time a few years back. Cant wait to be able to sit in and drive one.
This car wil always be the most beautiful car to me it brings tears to my eyes every time I see it before I die I wil have a drive in my childhood car the Daiblo 😉😋
Awesome review of a giant from our youth. Well done... makes you realise how brave JK was filming Cosmic Girl 😁
I saw a silver Diablo on the road a few days ago and I was blown away. I never thought I'd get to see one again in South Africa.
And now this video appears, and I'm just thinking: This has to be that very same Diablo I saw recently. This and the 25th Anniversary Countach are my all time favorite Lambos ever!
The problem with copying in the internet, is that you end up with videos narrating exactly the same things. Other than that, great video and comments on the driving.
I thought he was just taking off his shoes as a sign of respect 🤦🏽♂️
I never drive with my shoes on as well - obviously owner told you to take of your shoes, lol
My son still have his poster and matching yellow model I bought him before his birth. Nothing sounds like a Diablo. Had a terrifying spin in a Jota model years ago.... 😜
In 2020 I saw a silver Diablo driving past me on the M3 in Observatory Cape Town. I was in total shock to see one.
I have been a fan of the Diablo since the original Need For Speed Hot Pursuit in 1998 ❤
If you ask any kid today what their favorite dream car is, they will all have different brands. In 95 I bet you every petrol head kid said, "the Diablo" ! I knew nothing of the specs at 10 years of age but knew only that it was the ultimate dream car and I should think so to 🤣
80s/90s Italian sportscars don't even look like something from this earth. Just look at this thing. It's a dream. Idc how it drives.
Dude this is the perfection of Lamborghini !!!
That Bizzarrini V12 😍
I have this to add, if you do not use and take pleasure out of what you own, if you sit on it and drool over the beauty of it and the possible future value of it, without using it, someone else down the line will own it and take absolute pleasure of owning it and using it. You will have missed the opportunity of enjoying the thing that was meant to be enjoyed. Another thing ,the buyer will not pay for your sentiments. Mooi loop.
The first supercar I saw in person was a purple Diablo back in the mid 90's and that was the day a petrol head was born. This is my hero car, also had a poster of a white one
Was the guy driving it named Ronald perhaps?
I first dream car as a kid thanks to Need for Speed 3 on PS1
also big ups to the owner driving it properly and not a garage queen
100km/h in first gear!!!!!💀
This looked exhilarating! I wonder what the fuel consumption is like? ☺👍
When are you going to do a review on the new isuzu dmax
Hi please do a pov review on a c63 convertible 2021
That's a serious spare tyre there
its been a good year
Will you be doing a review on the new Isuzu MUX?
that first move getting into the car barefoot is every girl on their way to a party... this car is a party for my face holes.
Need too test the legend you guys need too test the mclaren f1
I had the privilege to drive in a red one many years ago in Bloemfontein.
A few days later ciero discovered he picked up Athletes foot...
There is a house in kensington johannesburg , where a white one has been parked for must be 8 years if not more . such a shame
Bad ass! But to dangerous
Hurray to the owner for using IT to high mileage for so many years!
such a beauty. doesnt sound good though!!
E70 X5 also uses that tyre, LOL
I always drive bare foot!!
GTA Vice City anyone?
😁😎
Marcello Gandini*
Tanzania approves🇹🇿🇹🇿🔥🔥🔥
XTREMELY COOL ! 💥
EXTREMELY ICONIC ! 💖
... but ... SO OLD.... 😳😱 ??!!
AWESOME 😂🤣😂🤣
My favorite Lambo! I still love those lines! But in terms of performance it is far behind the competitors of the time, on paper it was similar but in the real world it is far below cars like the F50, XJ220, EB110, even the F40 that is from the 80s has a performance far above Diablo in the world real! But speaking of Lamborghini will always be my favorite, and in this spec it's beautiful!
Have to agree bro. The line of this car was revolutionary at the time. We all had small models of it. : ) Mine was black. Just after some years there came the F50... :) Drop by if have time.
I would like to see this thing race against a stock 3.0 mk5 Supra lol
Yeah but no one give a shit about tin cans like and mk5, even if they're fast, no one cares. This is a Diablo, makes peoples jaws drop open.
Sheeeeesh😂
Diablo a supercar not hypercar
There's nothing I love than driving any car barefoot😄😃
barefoot is stupid. i own a diablo. DRIVING MOCS thats what they are made for
Looks-wise, this car did not age well...
First
I think I was the 7th. ;)
@@RRRRefuelRideRace lmao
@@anthonyserfontein7432 Drop by bro. I do also cars. :)
60 miles an hour doesn't equal 100 kilometres an hour.
yes it does - close enough
@@TheSniffter no it doesn't. Every motoring journalist knows it's 62 miles and they all say this during reviews. There's no such thing as close enough. Facts don't care about your feelings.
@@livingcolours1541 ok then
Great reviews as always, but WTH happened to you my friend? Lots of weight on !🫡🫡🫡
Please help me understand why so many people find it so easy to comment on my weight. I have never commented on someone's weight in my entire life.
