2001 Lamborghini Diablo VT 6.0 SE
The aim of this special edition is to emphasise some of the characteristics of the Lamborghini Diablo in two exclusive colors: Oro Elios & Marrone Eklipsis. 40 SE’s are scheduled for production, 20 in each color.
The interior upholstery is color co-ordinated to the color of the body with special trim all around.
All of the interior and exterior details are made from carbon fibre with a special titanium thread.
The intake manifolds and the cylinder heads have been made in magnesium to emphasise the engine and reduce weight.
A new close ratio six speed manual is fitted to all the SE models improving acceleration performance.
