At Saturday's auction Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, Arizona was for $ 1,1 million sold very special Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster. This is one of the most valuable Diablos in the world. The reason for this is relatively simple: first owner of the Italian super sports car is a former president of the United States Donald Trump.
Trump this is it Diablo VT Roadster ordered years 1997 and decided on a color "Blue Le Mans". This color was not actually available for the 1997 model year, but Trump had it, according to Barrett-Jackson a special relationship with Lamborghini and approved the color. On the contrary, it means yes we're looking at the one and only Diablo VT Roadster from 1997 in Le Mans Blue. A truly unique specimen. In addition to the color, it is also a unique selling point special label on the inside of the door. It doesn't look particularly high quality, but it says “Donald Trump Diablo 1997". 5,7 liter naturally aspirated V12 engine and 492 hp and 580 Nm remained unchanged. According to the factory specification, it accelerates the open devil from 0 to 100 km/h 4,0 seconds. The maximum speed is 335 km/h.
Trump he sold the car in the summer 2002, but of course this is not the end of the story. Diablo it was with the famous previous owner for years 2016 for sale on eBay. From the owner who reportedly bought the car in 2005. It is unclear if the car has changed hands since then. According to the company Barrett-Jackson the sale of Trump's former devil set world record for auction prices of devils. Diablo VT Roadster in similar, non-celebrity condition, it's usually offered for less than half the price of this Diablo, judging by recent auction results Bring a trailer.
Regardless of its prominent origins, this one Diablo VT Roadster was in the first half of his life definitely drivable or active on the roads. When in 2016 he was on eBay for sale, had mileage on the odometer 23.585 kilometers. However, there have been almost no more miles since then. When the blue Lambo was sold at the Barrett-Jackson auction on Saturday, the odometer showed only 24.836 kilometers. Hopefully the new owner will of the presidential Diablo used a bit more regularly and enjoyed it to the fullest.
