The Lamborghini Diablo (meaning “devil” in Spanish), is a series of high-performance V12, longitudinal, mid-engined sports cars, built from 1990 through 2001. In 1993, the Diablo VT (for ‘Viscous Traction’) became Lamborghini’s first all-wheel drive production sportscar. The car retained its rear-wheel drive character, but a computer-modulated system could direct up to 25% of the engine’s torque to the front wheels in case of rear-axle slip, to improve the car’s handling. In 1995, Lamborghini also began building their first open-top V12, in the form of a Diablo roadster. At the end of its production run in 2001, the Diablo was replaced by the Lamborghini Murciélago.
