At the recent Barrett-Jackson Classic Car Auction, an extremely rare 1997 Lamborghini Diablo VT<\/a> that was made exclusively for Donald Trump set a new record for the most expensive Diablo sold at auction.<\/p>\n

\"1997<\/a><\/p>\n

Painted in a one-of-one special Blu Le Mans color, the car was customized to include a door plaque that stated “Donald Trump 1997 Diablo.” Only 132 Diablo VT’s were made between 1997 and 1999.<\/p>\n

\"1997<\/a><\/p>\n

Trump sold the Diablo VT in 2002 with dead on 15,000 miles on the odometer, meaning that it was actually driven, and quite often, in his ownership period.<\/p>\n

\"1997<\/a><\/p>\n

When the gavel finally fell, the selling price before fees was $1.1 million USD, with auction visitors cheering as the price broke $1 million.<\/p>\n

\"1997<\/a><\/p>\n

The previous most expensive Diablo sold at auction was in May 2017, a 1994 Diablo SE30 that went for $396,915 via RM Sotheby’s.<\/p>\n
