The Diablo was destined to become the worthy heir of the renowned
Miura and Countach. Wide, low, and futuristic, it linked the
rudimentary supercar of years past to the hypercars of today. The
definitive poster car of the 1990's, many remember racing the
Diablo to its then-incomprehensible top speed of 202 mph in the
original Need for Speed video games. Today it has become a
generational legend, as did its predecessors.
