1998 Lamborghini Diablo Roadster Recreation Incredible Quality LS Motor
I am pleased to offer this gorgeous 1998 Lamborghini Diablo roadster recreation. This beauty is not built on a Fiero or Datsun Z, it features a custom round tube chassis with the all wheel adjustable coil over suspension. Power is provided by a longitudinal mounted LS1 crate engine from GM, has less than 50 miles on it. The LS1 has been mated to a completely rebuilt by Renegades Hybrids, Porsche transaxle with all new kevlar clutch assembly. The ECU has been upgraded with a chip and programing to put out about 400 HP on this engine. There are 2 new aluminum Griffin radiators mounted vertically behind the quarter fenders with dual fans on each that keep the engine running cool. VIN # is FLA103689 and mileage is approx. 750 +/-.
This car was built so that even a TALL person 6 ft. 7 inches can drive it comfortably while maintaining the same exterior specs and dimensions of an original Diablo. Owner has had 2 people 6′ 4″ and 6′ 5″ sit in the driver seat for sizing and were surprised that they were able to stretch their legs completely while sitting in driver seat with seat all the way back. Try that in another replica or an original Diablo.
The rear adjustable coil over suspension are unique F1 style suspension that are mounted horizontally. The Wilwood brake system works great! The cable shifter slides smoothly through the aluminum shift gate and gears. All of the VDO gauges mounted on a carbon fiber cluster panel are wired and functioning properly. All the lights, headlights, parking lights, turn signals etc. are connected to switches and working properly.
The power windows, locks, remote window and door openers work properly. The Pioneer Stereo AVH-X7800BT with rear view camera works well and sounds great! All dash vents work properly. The removable top easily mounts and fastens to the engine bonnet when desired. The engine bonnet is equipped with glass replacing the regular grill which is very unique allowing the showroom engine bay to be visible through the glass.
There are 4 resonators and inserts in the exhaust system after the heat wrapped headers that contribute to a higher pitch sound similar to an Italian car versus a typical V8 muscle car. The wheels and tires are new. The all black genuine leather interior is also new.
Owner has approx. $127K invested in this car. There have been some very nice finished replica Diablo Roadsters for sale out there, with really nice interiors, most of them being stretched Fiero chassis with used engine mounted sideways and some with a V-12 engine cover, but none that have a new engine, or engine bay set up like this one.
The car was completed in 2018 and features a Florida ASPT title.
