A Duo of Devilishly Rare Diablo GTRs Is up for Grabs

Two of only 30 Lamborghini Diablo GTRs built for a one-make race series are for sale at the same dealership.

Curated Vintage Supercars of Miami, Florida is offering a well-driven 2000 example in Blu Metallic and a stunning 2001 car in Giallo which has never seen a race track and with an engine that’s barely broken in.

The Diablo GT-R was designed to replace the SV-R, which competed in Lamborghini’s Super Trofeo series. Making its debut in 2000, the GTR featured carbon fiber for all bodywork bar the roof and doors, and used plexiglass for the windows to shed further weight. The cabin was gutted back to basics and a race-seat and roll cage were installed, along with other circuit-standard safety equipment.

The legendary Lamborghini V-12 slung behind the driver produced 590 horsepower, which was a hike of 40 horses over the most powerful road-going models and drive was via a five-speed manual transmission.

Curated’s blue GTR was delivered to Lease Plan in France in 2001 and then set to work on the track. Its best result was in Monza, Italy where Englishman Lee Cunningham made his way through the field from 18th on the grid to sixth place, taking the Top Gentleman Driver Trophy in the process. It now has 4571 km on the clock (2839 miles) but is presented in immaculate condition.

The yellow car, meanwhile, is said to be only Diablo GTR never to have raced and is described as a “time capsule” with just 768 miles on the odometer. Those claims are based on the fact that car was completely rebuilt and restored in 2012-2013 with every component refreshed or replaced, effectively making it a new car. Prior to this, the car had been original, bought by Stephane Ratel and campaigned in 2001 and 2002.

Either would make a terrific track day tool today, but if you prefer your Diablos to be drivable on the road, Curated also has a 1994 SE30 and a 1996 SVR for sale.
